LEACHING BEHAVIOUR AND CO2 SEQUESTRATION CAPACITY OF ACCELERATED CARBONATED MSWI APC RESIDUES

Climate change control and sustainable management of natural resources and waste are two of the four priority fields of intervention approved during the U.N. World Summit on sustainable development held in Johannesburg in 2002, which has set the legislative guidelines for European environmental policies until 2012. Concerning the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, CO2 capture and storage (CCS) technologies have been indicated as one of the most viable and effective measures to be applied in the short term, at least until energy production will still rely on fossil fuels combustion (IPCC, 2005). One of the CCS techniques presently investigated mimics natural rock weathering processes by which CO2 is stored as thermodynamically stable carbonates by carbonation of Ca and Mg silicate minerals (wollastonite, serpentine and olivine).

This paper presents the results of accelerated carbonation batch experiments on air pollution control (APC) residues from waste incineration. An extended characterization of the residues prior and after the treatment was carried out to assess the amount of CO2-reactive species in the ash and the effects of carbonation on ash mineralogy and microstructure. Aqueous carbonation experiments were carried out using 100% CO2 and varying the main operational parameters: temperature, pressure and liquid-to-solid (L/S) ratio, to assess their influence on process kinetics and CO2 uptake. Maximum Ca conversion to carbonate of 67% was achieved. The effects of carbonation on leaching were: a significant decrease in mobility for Pb, Zn and Cu at high pH values, an insignificant change or mobilization for Cr and Sb, and no major changes for soluble salts.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
