Abstract
A method for preparing a ceramic composition while simultaneously reducing the quantity of carbon dioxide from municipal solid waste that would discharge into environment includes decomposing the municipal solid waste to generate a carbon dioxide-water vapor mixture, providing a matrix, the matrix containing a reactant; and contacting the carbon dioxide-water vapor mixture with the matrix to promote a reaction between the carbon dioxide of the carbon dioxide-water vapor mixture and the reactant of the matrix. The reaction forms a product, thereby producing the ceramic composition.
Claims24
A method for preparing a ceramic composition while simultaneously reducing the quantity of carbon dioxide from municipal solid waste that would discharge into environment comprising:
- (a) decomposing the municipal solid waste to generate a gas-water vapor mixture comprising carbon dioxide;
- (b) providing a matrix comprising a reactant;
- and
- (c) contacting said carbon dioxide with said matrix to promote a reaction between said carbon dioxide and said reactant of the matrix.
A system for preparing a ceramic composition while simultaneously reducing the quantity of carbon dioxide from municipal solid waste that would discharge into environment comprising:
- a municipal solid waste treatment unit that generates a gas-water vapor mixture comprising carbon dioxide;
- a reaction unit comprising a matrix, said matrix comprising a reactant for reacting with the carbon dioxide;
- and
- a delivery path between the treatment unit and the reaction unit for delivering the gas-water vapor mixture.
