Abstract

In the present paper, we investigated the development status of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) production using steel slag, which is one of mineral carbonation (MC) technologies, from the standpoint of $CO_2$ utilization. Principle, feature, and global and domestic development status of the mineral carbonation technology were discussed together with the overview of the production method and market of PCC. Mineral carbonation is known as stable and environmentally-friendly technology enabling economical treatment of industrials wastes. Typically, PCC is produced by the reaction of $CO_2$ with supernatant solution after Ca extraction from steel slag followed by the separation of solid and liquid. The development status of MC using steel slag is at the pilot stage (Slag2PCC at Aalto University), and there remains the process economics improvement for commercialization. Key technologies for the further development are efficient extraction of Ca ions from steel slag including impurities removal, valorization of PCC via shape and size control, usage development and value-addition of residual slag, and optimization of reaction conditions for continuous process setup, etc.

이논문에서는 $CO_2$ 활용기술관점에서광물탄산화기술의하나인제철슬래그를이용한침강성탄산칼슘(Precipitated Calcium Carbonate, PCC) 제조 기술의 개발 현황을 고찰하였다. 광물 탄산화 기술의 원리, 특징, 전세계적 개발 현향을 살펴보았고, PCC 제조기술 및 시장동향도 파악하였다. 광물 탄산화는 안정적이고 친환경적인 기술로, 산업 부산물의 경제적 처리를 가능하게 한다. 일반적으로 슬래그중 Ca 용출 및 고액 분리 과정후 상등액과 $CO_2$의 반응을 통해 탄산칼슘을 제조한다. 이 기술은 파일럿 단계까지 기술개발이 진행되었으며(알토대학교의 Slag2PCC), 상용화를 위해서는 경제성 증대가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 개발을 위한 핵심 기술로는 슬래그로부터 Ca의 효과적 용출 및 불순물 제거, 탄산칼슘의 입도 및 입형 제어를 통한 고부가가치화, 잔사 슬래그의 활용방안 발굴, 연속공정 구현을 위한 반응 조건최적화 등을 들 수 있다.
