Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for preparing carbon-fixing steel slag powder, and belongs to the technical field of steel slag carbon-fixing application and cement concrete material. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of industry, CO2 emissions have also increased. How to reduce CO2 emissions has become an urgent problem to be solved. Mineral carbonation is an effective way to achieve carbon emission reduction. Steel slag, magnesium slag, high-calcium fly ash, calcined coal gangue, carbide slag, etc., as industrial steel slags with large annual output, high inventory, and rich in calcium magnesium silicates and oxides, meet the conditions for mineral carbonation. However, in the natural environment, the reaction between steel slag and CO2 is relatively slow, and a certain reaction temperature, CO2 concentration, gas pressure and carbonization time are often required to increase the carbonization reaction rate. However, energy-intensive treatment methods such as high temperature and high pressure will produce additional carbon emissions. In addition, since the physical composition of steel slag is similar to that of cement, it can be used as an auxiliary cementitious material, but it has poor stability and limited activity, which is not conducive to promotion and application. Studies have shown that a steel slag carbon fixation rate of 10% can improve stability and greatly increase activity. However, the current method has a low carbonization rate and is not feasible for large-scale and industrialization. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method for quickly preparing carbon-fixed steel slag powder. Summary of the invention
