CARBONATION CURING EQUIPMENT, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING CARBONATED CONCRETE, AND USE OF THIS METHOD FOR FIXING CARBON DIOXIDE

摘要

To provide carbonation curing equipment, a carbonated concrete producing method and a carbon dioxide fixing method with which it is possible to economically mass-produce the carbonated concrete and to greatly reduce the carbon dioxide emissions from a thermal power plant. Carbonation curing equipment 10 used for producing the carbonated concrete is equipped with a flue gas circulator 12 for supplying flue gas exhausted from a thermal power plant 1 to a carbonation curing tank 11 and for circulating the flue gas in the carbonation curing tank 11, in order to utilize the thermal power plant 1 as a carbon dioxide source for carbonation-curing an object to be cured which is held in the carbonation curing tank 11 having a shielded internal space. The flue gas exhausted from the thermal power plant 1 is supplied to the inside of the carbonation curing tank 11 without regulating the concentration and the flow rate, and the object to be cured held in the carbonation curing tank 11 is carbonation-cured.
