Development of Porous Carbon Nanomaterials from Petroleum Waste for CO2 Capture and Mineralization

Herein we report on developing mineral carbonization technology using porous carbons from vacuum residue to generate products that are best suited economically for CO2 sequestration. Activating of vacuum residue using activation reagent as Ca(OH)2 and MgO mixed with KOH gives a porous structure and metal particles that can react with CO2. Furthermore, study of the synthesized material showed the presence of nanoporous carbon and metal pa Development of in situ preparation method of porous low density carbon materials from industrial waste, which serve as a support for CO2 mineralization in pores and use final carbonate enriched porous carbons, MCO3-PC, as a composite for a potential development of concretes with properties adopted from porous carbons such as high mechanical strength, electrical and thermal conductivity, magnetic properties and hydrophobicity.
