Abstract
A composition is produced by a hydrothermal liquid phase sintering process, and the process includes providing a porous matrix, the porous matrix having a shape, and allowing a component of the porous matrix to undergo a reaction with an infiltrating medium to form a first product, the infiltrating medium including a greenhouse gas, a remainder of the porous matrix acting as a scaffold for facilitating the formation of the first product. The composition includes the first product and the reminder of the porous matrix. The composition has a microstructure that resembles a net-like interconnecting network. The composition maintains the shape of the porous matrix. The composition is free of hydraulic bonds.

A composition produced by a hydrothermal liquid phase sintering process, the process comprising:
- providing a porous matrix, the porous matrix having a shape, and
- allowing a component of the porous matrix to undergo a reaction with an infiltrating medium to form a first product, the infiltrating medium including a greenhouse gas, a remainder of the porous matrix acting as a scaffold for facilitating the formation of the first product,
- wherein the greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide,
- wherein the first product includes carbonate,
- wherein the composition has a microstructure with an interconnecting network that resembles a net,
- wherein the composition includes the first product and the reminder of the porous matrix, and
- wherein the composition has a decomposition temperature of at least about 800° C.
