Decarbonatization of Energy Sector by CO₂ Sequestration in Waste Incineration Fly Ash and Its Utilization as Raw Material for Alkali Activation.

ABSTRACT: In this study, municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash was subjected to mineral carbonation with the aim of investigating CO₂ sequestration in waste material. The conducted study follows the trend of searching for alternatives to natural mineral materials with the ability to sequestrate CO₂. The mineral carbonation of MSWI fly ash allowed for the storage of up to 0.25 mmol CO₂ g^-1. Next, both carbonated and uncarbonated MSWI fly ashes were activated using an alkaline activation method by means of two different activation agents, namely potassium hydroxide and potassium silicate or sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate. Mineral carbonation caused a drop in the compressive strength of alkali-activated materials, probably due to the formati
