Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a simple and low-cost method for efficiently fixing a sufficient amount of carbon dioxide contained in a carbon dioxide-containing gas (e.g. a plant exhaust gas). The method of fixing carbon dioxide comprises a contact step of bringing a carbon dioxide-containing gas having a temperature of 350° C. or more into contact with a cementitious hardened body to fix carbon dioxide in the carbon dioxide-containing gas to the cementitious hardened body. The carbon dioxide-containing gas may be a gas that is free from being supplied with moisture before the contact step and during the contact step. One of examples of the carbon dioxide-containing gas is a plant exhaust gas.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of fixing carbon dioxide, comprising a contact step of bringing a carbon dioxide-containing gas having a temperature of from 400° C. to 500° C. into contact with a cementitious hardened body to fix carbon dioxide in the carbon dioxide-containing gas to the cementitious hardened body, wherein moisture is not supplied to the carbon dioxide-containing gas before the contact step and during the contact step, during the contact step, the carbon dioxide-containing gas comprises a carbon dioxide gas at a ratio of 25% or more as a volume fraction value, and the cementitious hardened body has a form of grain having a grain size of 2 mm to 50 mm. 2. The method of fixing carbon dioxide according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon dioxide-containing gas is a plant exhaust gas. 3. The method of fixing carbon dioxide according to claim 1 , wherein the cementitious hardened body is a recycled aggregate, a waste material of a building material formed of concrete or mortar, a waste material of a cement paste hardened body, or sludge produced in using ready-mixed concrete. 4. The method of fixing carbon dioxide according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon dioxide-containing gas has a ratio of water vapor of 0% as a volume fraction value. 5. The method of fixing carbon dioxide according to claim 1 , wherein the cementitious hardened body has a carbonation ratio of from 6% to 12% after contacting the carbon dioxide-containing gas for 60 minutes.
