Abstract

Carbonation of Ca/Mg-containing industrial alkaline residues is a novel way for CO2 sequestration, which attracts increasing attention in the context of cutting down CO2 emissions. Steel slag, a typical industrial byproduct produced during the steel making process, usually contains abundant CaO and exhibits high carbonation reactivity and hence great capacity of CO2 adsorption. Utilization of the steel slag is of increasing interest owing to the issues of environmental protection, as well as sustainable development in the steel industry. Therefore, CO2 sequestration with steel slag through accelerated carbonation is of great significance. In this chapter, the formation process, physico-chemical properties, carbonation mechanism, carbonation rate, heavy metal leaching of steel slag, and in particular, the microstructure, performance, and application of carbonated steel slag as construction materials are discussed.
