Characterization of calcium oxide derived from waste eggshell and its application as CO2 sorbent

The carbonation-calcination looping cycle of calcium-based sorbents is considered as an attractive method for CO₂ capture from combustion gases because it can reduce the cost during the capture steps compared to conventional technologies, e.g., solvent scrubbing. In this study, waste eggshell was used as raw material for calcium oxide-based sorbent production. The commercially available calcium carbonate was employed for comparison purpose. Calcination behavior, crystal type and crystallinity, surface chemistry, qualitative and quantitative elemental information, specific surface area and pore size, morphology of the waste eggshell and the calcined waste eggshell were characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), N₂ sorption analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The carbonation-calcination cycles were carried out using a TGA unit with high purity CO₂ (99.999%). It was found that the carbonation conversion of the calcined eggshell was higher than that of the calcined commercially available calcium carbonate after several cycles at the same reaction conditions. This could be due to the fact that the calcined eggshell exhibited smaller particle size and appeared more macropore volume than the calcined commercially available calcium carbonate. As results, the calcined eggshell provided a higher exposed surface for the surface reaction of CO₂.     

Desorption characteristics of desiccant bed for solar dehumidification/humidification air conditioning systems

Theoretical and experimental investigation on the desorption characteristics of a packed porous bed is presented in this study. The granules of burned clay are applied as a desiccant carrier. Calcium chloride is used as the working desiccant. The theoretical model defines the transient gradient of air stream parameters (humidity and temperature) as well as desiccant concentration in the bed. In the experimental study, transient concentration gradient in the bed is evaluated by weight method. The bed is divided into seven separate layers. Air stream at low temperature and nearly constant inlet parameters are used for desorption purposes. Concentration gradient in the bed is found highly dependent on the mass transfer rate. For the specified operating conditions and stated assumptions, experimental measurements shows acceptable agreement with the analytical solution.     

Instrumental Textural Characteristics of Restructured Carrot Cubes

Studies were carried out on the instrumental textural evaluation of restructured carrot cubes. The experiment was conducted by incorporating different levels of alginate, glucono delta lactone (GDL), and calcium salt to the carrot pulp. Investigations showed that as pulp level increased from 0 to 90%, there was a corresponding decrease in failure stress, failure strain, and deformability modulus. Instrumental textural profile analysis (TPA) parameters viz. hardness, springiness, gumminess, cohesiveness, chewiness, and resilience also showed a similar trend. Effect of formulation variables, i.e., alginate, GDL, and calcium salt on hardness (response variable) were evaluated by the application of response surface methodology. All the three ingredients showed a significant (P < 0.05) influence on hardness of carrot gel. Heat treatment of restructured carrot samples resulted in an increased hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness while springiness, cohesiveness, and resilience decreased. The data indicated that the shrinkage during thermal treatment may be responsible for the change in textural attributes. The authors concluded that a thermally stable restructured product with appreciable textural integrity can be obtained from carrot pulp.

Rheological and mechanical properties of PVC/CaCO3 nanocomposites prepared by in situ polymerization

Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) nanocomposites were synthesized by in situ polymerization of vinyl chloride (VC) in the presence of CaCO₃ nanoparticles. Their thermal, rheological and mechanical properties were evaluated by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), capillary rheometry, tensile and impact fracture tests. The results showed that CaCO₃ nanoparticles were uniformly distributed in the PVC matrix during in situ polymerization of VC with 5.0 wt% or less nanoparticles. The glass transition and thermal decomposition temperatures of PVC phase in PVC/CaCO₃ nanocomposites are shifted toward higher temperatures by the restriction of CaCO₃ nanoparticles on the segmental and long-range chain mobility of the PVC phase. The nanocomposites showed shear thinning and power law behaviors. The ‘ball bearing’ effect of the spherical nanoparticles decreased the apparent viscosity of the PVC/CaCO₃ nanocomposite melts, and the viscosity sensitivity on shear rate of the PVC/CaCO₃ nanocomposite is higher than that of pristine PVC. Moreover, CaCO₃ nanoparticles stiffen and toughen PVC simultaneously, and optimal properties were achieved at 5 wt% of CaCO₃ nanoparticles in Young's modulus, tensile yield strength, elongation at break and Charpy notched impact energy. Detailed examinations of micro-failure micromechanisms of impact and tensile specimens showed that the CaCO₃ nanoparticles acted as stress raisers leading to debonding/voiding and deformation of the matrix material around the nanoparticles. These mechanisms also lead to impact toughening of the nanocomposites.     

Pilot-Scale Operation of a Concrete Sludge Recycling Plant and Simultaneous Production of Calcium Carbonate

A pilot-scale plant to treat concrete sludge and produce calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) and an environmental purification agent (phosphorus adsorbent derived from concrete sludge, PAdeCS®) was designed, constructed, and operated. Concrete sludge from a concrete pile and pole production plant, boiler gas containing CO₂, and groundwater were used in the plant. The process involved calcium extraction from concrete sludge into water, followed by reaction of the calcium with CO₂ to produce crystalline CaCO₃. The pilot-scale plant was operated for 1 week, and the mass flows, conversion of CO₂ to CaCO₃, and net CO₂ emissions of the process were estimated. High-purity CaCO₃ (>97%) suitable for industrial use was obtained. Based on the power consumption of the process and the amount of CO₂ sequestered into CaCO₃, a net reduction in CO₂ emissions can be achieved using this process. The produced PAdeCS can be used as an inexpensive substitute for calcium series environmental purification agents.     

Revisiting CA6 formation in cement-bonded alumina-spinel refractory castables

This work revisits the proposed mechanisms presented in the literature for CA₆ formation in Al₂O₃-MgO and Al₂O₃-MgAl₂O₄ castables bonded with calcium aluminate cement. New experimental tests, thermodynamic simulations and re-evaluation of the chemical composition and microstructural aspects observed for samples fired in the temperature range of 1150 °C to 1500 °C were carried out. Based on these data, a new interpretation of the CA₆ generation process, as well as the features which influence the location and morphology of this phase were proposed. CA₆ formation via solid and liquid states are suggested to take place in all evaluated compositions, where the former (solid-state) is the main reaction predicted for the silica-free refractories (AM0MS and AS0MS), whereas the liquid-state one prevails in the AM1MS and AS1MS materials. The CA₆ crystal morphology should be affected by these different reaction mechanisms. According to the experimental results, it was also discussed the role of the calcium hexaluminate features in the overall corrosion behavior of the designed refractories when they were placed in contact with molten slag at high temperatures. Such aspects have not been previously reported in published papers related to this subject.
