Abstract
The "indirect carbonation" technique accelerates carbonation in hydroxides, slags, or cementitious materials using calcium extraction reagents (CERs), thereby facilitating carbon capture. However, selecting the optimal reagent is often time-consuming. To streamline this, we developed a chemical equilibrium-based evaluation method to assess CER effectiveness. This method considers pH, Ca-complex stability constants, ligand concentration, and solubility product constants, providing a concentration-based or dimensionless evaluation index. To validated the method, we conducted carbonation tests using six different ligands and compared their practical acceleration performance on Ca(OH)2, steel slag, and cement with the calculated outcomes. Our findings show that the method accurately predicts CER performance in simple systems like Ca(OH)2 and qualitatively evaluates CERs in more complex systems like steel slag and cement. Additionally, we created a user-friendly program to assist in CER evaluation, simplifying the pre-screening process.
