Summary

This project focuses on utilizing carbon dioxide from cement production to create valuable chemicals and materials, enhancing cement formulations and reducing emissions. It employs ionic liquids for CO2 purification and aims to develop a pilot plant to demonstrate this circular economy approach in the cement industry.

Objective

CO2 from the flue gases of a rotary kiln in a cement industry (CO2: 25 vol%) will be used for the production of value-added chemicals (acid additives for cement formulations) and materials (CaCO3 nanoparticles to be used as concrete fillers).

A circular-economy-approach is enabled: the CO2 produced by cement manufacturing is re-used in a significant part within the plant itself to produce better cement-related products entailing less energy intensity and related CO2 emissions by a quadratic effe…
