Abstract

The present invention provides a method of carbonating carbon dioxide with high purity using a paper mill waste sludge by preparing a paper mill waste sludge which is a waste product discharged during the production of papermaking, adding acid to the paper mill waste sludge and reacting the acid therewith to produce a mixed solution and stirring, separating a supernatant of the mixed solution into an eluate, adding a basic substance to the eluate and adjusting pH to precipitate some of the ions in the eluate, and then adding a reaction initiator to the eluate in which some ions are precipitated and removed, and injecting carbon dioxide for a carbonation reaction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of carbonating carbon dioxide with high purity using a paper mill waste sludge, comprising the steps of,
(a) preparing a paper mill waste sludge which is a waste product discharged during paper production;
(b) adding an acid to the paper mill waste sludge and reacting the acid therewith to produce a mixed solution and stirring;
(c) separating a supernatant of the mixed solution into an eluate;
(d) adding a basic substance to the eluate and adjusting pH to precipitate some of the ions in the eluate; and
(e) adding a reaction initiator to the eluate in which some ions are precipitated and removed, and injecting carbon dioxide for a carbonation reaction,
wherein the reaction initiator is a neutral alkylamine that is any one selected from a group consisting of methylamine, diethylamine, isopropylamine, and cyclohexylamine.

2. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the paper mill waste sludge contains calcium ions, and further comprises one or more ions selected from a group consisting of iron, aluminum, and silicon, as a carbonation inhibiting ion.

3. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein, in the step of preparing the paper mill waste sludge, the paper mill waste sludge is dried in air, and then pulverized to be grain-refined.

4. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the acid is any one selected from a group consisting of nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and acetic acid.

5. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the acid has a concentration of 1 to 5N.

6. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein, in the step of adding acid to the paper mill waste sludge, 1.0 to 1.5 equivalents of an acid is added to a total ion equivalent weight of the paper mill waste sludge.

7. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein, in the step of the stirring step, the mixed solution is stirred at 200 to 300 RPM using a stirrer.

8. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein, in the step of separating the eluate from a supernatant of the mixed solution, the mixed solution is filtered and then pressured, or a precipitating agent is added to precipitate the fine particles within a colloid.

9. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the basic substance is caustic soda (NaOH).

10. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the basic substance is added to the eluate to change the pH to a range of 11.5 to 12.5.

11. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein, in the step of precipitating some of the ions, iron, aluminum or silicon ions which are carbonation-inhibiting ions in the eluate, are precipitated.

12. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein, in the step of injecting carbon dioxide for a carbonation reaction, the eluate is aerated with carbon dioxide, or the carbon dioxide is, injected at a pressure of 20 to 30 bar in a high pressure reactor into the paper mill waste sludge.

13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising,
recovering an amine through dialysis, after the carbonation reaction.
