Abstract
In 2021, the Government of the Russian Federation set the executive authorities the task of decarbonizing Russian industry and developing an action plan for the transition to carbon regulation and sequestration of carbon dioxide emissions. One of the directions of carbon dioxide sequestration is mineral carbonation. The idea of the work is to use mineral carbonation, as an alternative to natural mineral raw materials, slags from the combustion of solid non-combustible waste. The technology of carbon sequestration by mineral carbonation of technogenic raw materials is at the research stage, therefore it is necessary to assess the potential of using waste incinerators. To solve the tasks, the material composition of the slags of one of the incinerators was studied in detail. The possibility of slag enrichment with the production of copper-containing preconcentrate has been established. The content of minerals capable of participating in carbonation was determined, and the carbonation potential was estimated based on the calculated values. The requirements for man-made waste for their use as raw materials for carbonation are formulated. The factors that have a restraining effect on the introduction of mineral carbonation technologies are highlighted.
