Abstract

The long-term storage of CO2 using mineral sequestration is becoming increasingly interesting in many regions; especially where CO2 underground sequestration is considered impossible or unfeasible. Despite the recognised and documented advantages of CO2 mineral sequestration; twenty years of R&D work did not yet result in mature; economically viable technology that can be applied on a large scale. Lacking other CCS options while having access to large resources of suitable rock material; a route for carbonation of magnesium silicate mineral is currently being optimised in Finland. It involves the production of magnesium hydroxide; Mg(OH)2 from the mineral followed by carbonation of this in a pressurised fluidised bed reactor. Although the Mg(OH)2 production requires energy the consequent carbonation step is exothermic and the overall process could still be rendered energy neutral. Significant amounts of iron oxides are obtained as by-products. Carbonation levels of ~50% of several 100 µm diameter Mg(OH)2 particles were obtained within 10 minutes at pressures > 20 bar and temperatures up to 500ºC. This paper reports on the latest developments of the work; addressing also process energy efficiency. Also; the large-scale application of this in Finland and at the locations of project partners abroad is briefly addressed.
