One of the negative emission technologies is DAC (direct air capture), which captures low concentrations of carbon dioxide from the air. This study is a basic research on DAC technology and investigates various conditions for the formation of calcium carbonate by stirring a calcium hydroxide suspension. The calcium hydroxide suspension was agitated with a stirrer at 200–400 rpm and samples were taken at predetermined time intervals. Samples were taken at predetermined time intervals. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and SEM.
When the calcium hydroxide suspension was stirred and carbonated, calcite was initially formed, but later needle-like aragonite was formed. The maximum aragonite fraction was 81%. The formation of calcium carbonate was accelerated with increasing agitation rate, and the grain size of aragonite became smaller. The volume of air contact was 42.8 L・h-1 at a stirring rate of 300 rpm. The air contact volume reached a maximum of 54.1 L・h-1 at the suspension concentration of 4 mass%. When the reaction vessel was increased to 5 liters, the volume of air contact increased to 179.3 L・h-1.
