The dual need to remove CO2 from our emissions and treat alkaline industrial residues such as ash materials motivate the design of innovative pathways to simultaneously capture and convert CO2 into mineralized carbonates. Direct carbon mineralization is one approach that addresses the need to simultaneously treat alkaline industrial residues and mineralize CO2 emissions. Low CO2 solubility in water and slow kinetics at ambient temperature have challenged the direct carbon mineralization of alkaline industrial residues. To address these challenges, the use of CO2 capture solvents that enhance CO2 solubility and facilitate accelerated carbon mineralization of fly ash at temperatures below 90 C is investigated. Calcium carbonate formation results in the inherent regeneration of the solvent. The carbon mineralization extents of non-calcium carbonate content in fly ash were 50% and 51% and in waste ash were 58% and 62% in 2.5 M sodium glycinate and 30 wt% MEA solutions, respectively. The experiments were performed at 50 C for 3 h with CO2 partial pressure of 1 atm in a continuously stirred slurry environment with 15 wt.% solid. Furthermore, nanoscale CaCO3 is successfully synthesized from dissolved calcium using CO2-loaded sodium glycinate and surfactants such as CTAB (Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide). Surfactants such as CTAB bind to the calcium carbonate surface and regulate the growth of calcium carbonate particles. These innovative approaches demonstrate the feasibility of directly storing CO2 in fly ash and waste ash as calcium carbonate and producing nanoscale calcium carbonate using regenerable CO2 capture solvents.
