Carbon Dioxide → Magnesium bicarbonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A light-burned magnesia, made from calcination of magnesite (Si 3.2 wt %, Fe 0.7 wt %, Al 0.37 wt %) at 900° C. for 2 hours, is hydrated for 2 hours at 80° C. The weight ratio of water to magnesium oxide is 2:1. Then water is added into the mixture to prepare slurry at a weight ratio of water to magnesium oxide of 57:1. After that, carbon dioxide (80 vt %) is introduced into the slurry to react for 2 hours at 20° C. Subsequently, a pure magnesium bicarbonate solution (MgO: 15.3 g/L, Fe: 1.51 ppm, Al: 1.2 ppm) is obtained after filtration.
