Project Description
In this project, the University of Illinois will develop an advanced technology for the mineralization of carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial emissions sources using dry and wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) byproducts for coproduction of value-added precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) and sulfate fertilizer products and validate its technical performance, economic competitiveness, and environmental sustainability.
Project Benefits
The Carbon Conversion Program is fostering the development of advanced CO2 conversion technologies through lab-scale testing (greater than 10 kg CO2 converted/day) of mineralization systems that generate solid carbonate products for existing commercial markets. These development efforts will result in the design and testing of systems that utilize appropriate alkalinity and CO2 sources to produce sufficient solid carbonate products for validation and characterization for a commercial market. Valuable conversion process information is anticipated to emerge from these lab-scale conversion technologies that will establish the foundation for future development efforts.
