CO2 mineralization is conducted through injecting simulated flue gas into MgSO4‐(NH4)2SO4‐NH3·H2O. The MgCO3·3H2O whiskers are prepared by adjusting reaction conditions, including mineralization pH, reaction temperature, and amount of ammonia. The chemical component and morphology of the product are analyzed via scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and thermal gravimetric analyzer. The study demonstrates that at 50°C, pH 9, 0.08 L/min CO2 flow rate, and a simulated flue gas containing 20% CO2, MgCO3·3H2O whiskers of 99% purity are synthesized. The whiskers have a length of 15–20 μm with an aspect ratio of 18. At ammonia usage of 25 ml, the Mg2+ conversion rate is 70%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
