CARBON SEQUESTRATION IN SYNTHETIC CONSTUCTION AGGREGATE

Blue Planet Systems (Los Gatos, Calif.; www.blueplanetsystems.com) and Sulzer
Chemtech Ltd. (Winterthur, Switzerland; www.sulzer.com) have announced a
partnership to accelerate development of Blue Planet’s process for mineralizing
carbon dioxide gas into construction aggregate for concrete. By sequestering CO2
into the aggregate, the process can offset the carbon footprint of traditional
cement and generate carbon-negative concrete.
“Most of the carbon dioxide on the planet is contained in limestone [calcium
carbonate; CaCO3],” explains Kyle Self, VP of engineering at Blue Planet. “Our
process is meant to mimic the natural conversion of CO2 into CaCO3 and
permanently store CO2 in the built environment.”
To achieve CO2 sequestration, the Blue Planet process involves three primary
steps. The process gets its alkalinity and calcium, needed for CO2 capture and
CaCO3 mineralization, respectively, from a step that uses an acidic aqueous
solution to extract the alkalinity and calcium from a variety of “geomass”
materials, ranging from waste concrete to many rock types. The resulting
alkaline aqueous solution, which is also made up of calcium ions, is then
combined with CO2-containing exhaust gas in a second process step, to absorb CO2
upon contact and subsequently precipitate solid CaCO3 (Figure) The third process
step then isolates and converts solid CaCO3 into synthetic sand and gravel,
suitable for use as construction aggregate in concrete, wherein the captured CO2
is permanently sequestered.
The “geomass” used in the initial step gets upcycled in the process and so
yields a byproduct that is also suitable for use in the built environment.
Self says the technology does not require catalysts or specialized equipment.
Rather, it works with standard chemical processing equipment configured in a
specific way and re-purposed for the mineralization process. Blue Planet and
Sulzer engineers have collaborated to achieve an absorption process with high
surface area for mass transfer, but also with a low pressure drop.
Blue Planet says the process permanently mineralizes 440 kg of CO2 in each ton
of synthetic construction aggregate produced.
The Blue Planet process is currently being demonstrated at a development
facility in Pittsburg, Calif., where plans are also in place to construct a
larger, production facility.
