Overview
Finland’s Cleen CCS Program 2011-2015 – CCS / CCU / CCUS in Finland
The ÅA route for stepwise serpentinite carbonation – Mg(OH)2 production from magnesium silicate-based rock – Mg(OH)2 carbonation – Process energy use – Large-scale application; direct operation on flue gas – Alternative reaction intermediates for Mg(OH)2
Conclusions

PFB carbonation of Mg(OH)2
Competition between dehydroxylation and carbonation – Improve precipiation conditions, control Mg(OH)2 properties – Circulating PFB would allow for finer particles ?!

Mg-silicate carbonation at a lime kiln
Slotte et al. ENERGY 2013
Integration at an industrial lime kiln, no CO2 capture,
full flue gas compression to 80 bar ~ 20 bar CO2, 0.2~0.25 t CO2/h fixed,
heat (kiln gas) 2.6 GJ/t, power 0.9 GJ/t CO2
Alternative route: MgSO4 carbonation in aqueous solution /1
+: No need to produce and carbonate Mg(OH)2
+: No CO2 capture stage, no NH3 injection in flue gas duct - : No carbonation heat can be recovered - : Product is hydromagnesite ~ only 4/5 of Mg carbonated

Alternative route: MgSO4 carbonation in aqueous solution /2

Extracted (Mg,Fe)SO4 solution from serpentinite pH = 2.05
+VNH4OH pH ~ 8.5 → Iron precipitation → 60 min → Filter
Alternative route: MgSO4 carbonation in aqueous solution /3

Conclusions CO2 mineral sequestration offers a leakage-free alternative for
CO2 underground storage worldwide; only option in Finland CO2 capture from oxygen containing gases isn’t ”taking off”, and
capture is more expensive than economically viable CC(U)S! no capture step, operate mineralisation directly on flue gas
ÅA staged process route: ~ 90 % Mg extraction from serpentinite + fast (~10 min) Mg(OH)2 carbonation ~ 70%
Energy input stand-alone ÅA route ~3 GJ/t, ≈ CO2 capture Application at lime kiln, no CO2 capture: ~ 0.9 GJ/t CO2 power in An alternative route with MgSO4 aqueous carbonation appears
simpler, no heat recovery from carbonation, though Finland & Sweden consider CC(U)S under the Baltic Sea:
