Abstract

Abstract: The resource utilization of solid waste is a crucial pathway for promoting the construction of “zero-waste cities”. Carbon mineralization technology not only enables the capture and sequestration of CO₂ but also enhances the reactivity of solid waste and improves its applicability in the construction materials sector. This paper focuses on the resource utilization of solid waste-based materials, and systematically reviews the current theoretical research progress and technological development status of carbon mineralization solid waste-based materials. It focuses on the latest research results of dissolution-precipitation mechanism in carbon mineralization process, as well as the classification characteristics of typical solid waste components and their carbon mineralization reactivity. The emerging technical paths of carbon mineralization of solid waste-based materials based on water regulation, mass transfer enhancement and bionic strategies are further summarized. Finally, it is proposed that future research should consider the energy consumption level, product stability and engineering application prospects while improving carbon mineralization efficiency and product performance, so as to promote the development of carbon mineralization technology in the direction of high efficiency, low carbon and sustainability.

Key words: solid waste, carbon mineralization, carbon mineralization theory, carbon mineralization technology, carbon mineralization efficiency, carbon mineralization condition
