CO2capture and storage (CCS) is an important strategy in combatting anthropogenic climate change. However, commercial application of the CCS technique is currently hampered by its high energy expenditure and costs. To overcome this issue, CO2capture and utilization (CCU) is a promising CO2disposal method. We, for the first time, developed a promising method to mineralize CO2using earth-abundant potassium feldspar in order to effectively reduce CO2emissions. Our experiments demonstrate that, after adding calcium chloride hexahydrate as an additive, the K-feldspar can be transformed to Ca-silicates at 800°C, which can easily mineralize CO2to form stable calcium carbonate and recover soluble potassium. The conversion of this process reached 84.7%. With further study, the pretreatment temperature can be reduced to 250°C using hydrothermal method by adding the solution of triethanolamine (TEA). The highest conversion can be reached 40.1%. The process of simultaneous mineralization of CO2and recovery of soluble potassium can be easily implemented in practice and may provide an economically feasible way to tackle global anthropogenic climate change.
