Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of carbon dioxide gas sealing, and in particular relates to a carbon dioxide sealing device. Background Art

[0002] In the context of dual carbon, carbon capture and storage (CCS) includes various carbon dioxide capture, separation, transportation and storage technologies, and is a potential strategy to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. CCS includes carbon sequestration technologies such as geological storage, marine storage and mineral carbonation (MC). Geological storage technology has many uncertain risks such as CO2 leakage, ecological imbalance, groundwater pollution, and even geological disasters. Marine storage technology has the problem that high concentrations of CO2 in seawater will kill marine life and cause dissolved CO2 to eventually return to the environment. MC technology has the advantages of permanent storage of carbon dioxide, production of value-added products and environmental friendliness, and plays a key role in CO2 storage.

[0003] Steel slag is one of the main contributors to solid waste in the steel industry. The utilization rate of steel slag in my country is only about 5%. Steel slag has high alkalinity (pH is about 12) and contains a large amount of calcium and magnesium oxides, which can be used as a carrier for capturing CO2. Compared with natural minerals, it has higher reactivity and inherent alkalinity, making it more suitable for mineralizing CO2. It is estimated that steel slag worldwide can store up to 171Mt of CO2 per year.

[0004] Mineral carbonation plays an important role in rebalancing the global carbon cycle and providing long-term carbon storage solutions. The main methods of using steel slag mineralization to solidify CO2 are currently divided into direct mineralization and indirect mineralization. Among them, the direct mineralization process is simple, but the reaction kinetics are relatively slow, requiring higher reaction temperatures and pressures, and high energy consumption. The indirect mineralization method has mild reaction conditions, higher mineralization efficiency, and purer products. However, whether it is direct mineralization or indirect mineralization, the devices that use steel slag to seal carbon dioxide in flue gas have problems such as large leaching solution loss, low rate, and low carbonation efficiency.
