Abstract: Mineral CO2 sequestration is a promising approach for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by storing CO2 in stable forms permanently. This process involves capturing CO2 and converting it into solid carbonates through mineralisation. Waste ashes and slags, by-products of waste incineration and steel production, are promising materials for CO2 sequestration, due to their high alkalinity and reactive mineral phases. In this study, the CO2 sequestration potentials of different metallurgical slags and incineration ashes from Austria and Slovenia were analysed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and calcimetry. Biomass ash (A1) showed the highest sequestration capacity of 153.7 g CO2 per kg of ash.
Keywords: CO2 sequestration capacity, enhanced carbonation, thermogravimetric analysis, calcimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy
