Abstract

Herein we report on developing mineral
carbonization technology using porous carbons from
vacuum residue to generate products that are best
suited economically for CO2 sequestration.
Activating of vacuum residue using activation
reagent as Ca(OH)2 and MgO mixed with KOH gives
a porous structure and metal particles that can react
with CO2. Furthermore, study of the synthesized
material showed the presence of nanoporous carbon
and metal pa Development of in situ preparation
method of porous low density carbon materials from
industrial waste, which serve as a support for CO2
mineralization in pores and use final carbonate
enriched porous carbons, MCO3-PC, as a composite
for a potential development of concretes with
properties adopted from porous carbons such as high
mechanical strength, electrical and thermal
conductivity, magnetic properties and
hydrophobicity.
