A fundamental study was carried out in order to fix CO
2 on slag. The electronic arc furnace reducing slag was wet-ground by a vibration ball mill under CO
2 atmosphere. The effect of grinding conditions on the behavior of CO
2 absorption was investigated.
The rate of the absorption of CO
2 under wet grinding was larger than that under dry grinding. The total amount of CO
2 absorption increased with the increase in total amount of the slag and water in case that the weight ratio of the water to the slag was kept constant. The CO
2 was fixed as CaCO
3 and Ca
4Si
2O
6(CO
3)(OH,F)
2. Any compounds of Mg were not detected by XRD after the experiment. In the early stage of grinding, the CO
2 was absorbed even if the grinding was stopped. The concentration of Ca in the water was larger than the solubility of Ca(OH)
2. Hence, the absorption of CO
2 was determined by the surface reaction that consisted of chemical reaction and mass transfer in liquid. In the later stage of grinding, the CO
2 was not almost absorbed immediately the grinding was stopped. The concentration of Ca in water was small. Accordingly, the absorption of CO
2 was influenced by the dissolution of slag into water.
The amount of the exhausted CO
2 was calculated from the electronic power that was necessary for operating this experimental apparatus from various power plants. The amount of CO
2 absorption was larger than that of the exhausted CO
2 from a solar, an atomic, a wind and a water power plant.
