Our project looks at capturing CO2 emissions by passing stack gas stream through alkaline NaOH solution, and then passing slaked lime through the resulting solution to recover limestone. Pure CO2 could further be collected in isolation by heating the limestone in the absence of air. The capture and recovery of CO2 is particularly feasible in foundries which use CO2 as a hardener while preparing castings of sand moulds. Foundries also have applications of limestone in their daily operations, as limestone is added into the cupola furnace in order to help in the removal of slag.
The method of capture and recovery proposed here, is relatively simple, based purely on chemical reactions and equilibrium. An attempt is made to design a basic recovery unit for a small-scale foundry, after collecting samples from the foundry and checking the efficiency of the process of conversion of CO2 to limestone in the laboratory.
