Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for thermal activation of coal gangue and in-situ carbon fixation utilizing waste heat from steel slag is disclosed. By utilizing waste heat from high-temperature molten steel slag, coal gangue is activated to a high pozzolanic activity utilizing the system temperature of a steel slag hot-steaming device, and meanwhile, the CO 2 released in the thermal activation process is captured utilizing the reaction of steel slag with CO 2 to generate stable carbonates, thus achieving permanent carbon sequestration. The present disclosure effectively uses the heat from the hot steel slag discharged from the steelmaking furnace in such a way that the coal gangue is activated while the steel slag undergoes a carbonation reaction, resulting in an increased heat recovery rate during the cooling process of the steel slag.
