A new concept, carbon dioxide (CO2) transport in concrete, is proposed in this paper to describe solute-transport processes. Using this concept, a new one-dimensional mathematical model was developed to describe the transport phenomena of carbon dioxide in concrete structures. By treating transport phenomena as a concrete carbonation process, a one-dimensional linear partial differential equation was derived based on the principle of mass balance and convective-dispersive equation and was found the analytical solution by the separation of variables and the Laplace transform methods combined with some substitution approaches. The concrete carbonation numerical results were determined using parameters, such as the diffusion …

The overall objective of this project is to develop a simple and inexpensive process to separate carbon dioxide (CO2) as an essentially pure stream from a fossil fuel combustion gases using a regenerable sodium-based sorbent. This objective of this phase of the project is to evaluate CO2 capture using sodium-based sorbents in single-cycle and multicycle tests as a function of calcination and carbonation conditions. The sorbent precursors investigated were sodium bicarbonates supplied by Church and Dwight, Inc., and natural trona supplied by Solvay. All precursors were first calcined to sodium carbonate and then converted to sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or Wegscheider’s …
