Carbon Dioxide → Magnesium bicarbonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A light-burned magnesia, made from calcination of magnesium carbonate (Si 2.5 wt %, Fe 0.9 wt %, Al 0.5 wt %) at 750-850° C. for 5 hours, is hydrated for 2 hours at 80° C. The weight ratio of water to magnesium oxide is 1:1. Then water is added into the mixture to prepare slurry at a weight ratio of water to magnesium oxide of 40:1. After that, carbon dioxide (90 vt %) is introduced into the slurry to react for 30 minutes at 20° C. Subsequently, a pure magnesium bicarbonate solution (MgO: 23 g/L, Fe: 1.1 ppm, Al: 1.0 ppm) is obtained after clarification and filtration
