Description

[0002] The fundamental path of emission reduction and carbon sink is zero carbon, low carbon, decarbonization, carbon compensation and other technologies. The CO2 mineralization technology of decarbonization is concerned due to its low cost, large scale, small environmental risk and long-term stability. The technology simulates the process of natural mineral weathering and CO2 absorption in nature, uses minerals containing calcium and magnesium ions or other substances to react with CO2 to generate stable solid carbonates (such as CaCO3 / MgCO3), and realizes the sequestration of CO2.

[0003] On the other hand, some special soils such as soft soil, fill soil and contaminated soil with original strength and structure that cannot meet engineering requirements need to be reinforced, but the traditional soil reinforcement method often relies on a large amount of cement, lime and other materials. The production process of these materials not only has high energy consumption, but also produces a large amount of CO2 emissions, which does not meet the development trend of green and low-carbon geotechnical engineering. In contrast, using CO2 mineralization technology for soil reinforcement can not only reduce the use of cement and other traditional building materials, but also achieve effective utilization and fixation of CO2.

[0004] Therefore, based on the demand for special soil reinforcement, it is urgent to develop a system that can convert CO2 into a mineralized liquid that can be injected into soil to achieve soil carbon fixation, in-situ reinforcement of special soil and synergistic effect of soil carbon fixation and reinforcement.
