CO2 basics
CO2
CO2 at ambient conditions is a colorless, odorless, non-combustible
(non-explosive) gas
CO2 is heavier than air and can accumulate in depressions – danger of
asphyxiation
CO2 is classified as non-toxic, however, the following exposure limits are
reported for high concentrations
< 2 %, short term: no harmful effects
3 %: breathing rate doubles
5 %: breathing rate 4 times more than normal
> 10%, ca.15 min: difficulties in breathing, impaired hearing, nausea, stupor
within 10 min and loss of consciousness within 15 min
> 20%, 1 min or less: acute danger of death
CO2 takes part in the global carbon cycle, where billions of tons of the gas
are moved between different pools by natural drivers

Cement manufacturing (basics)
Second-largest industrial emitter worldwide,
7% of global CO2 emissions
2050: global cement demand +12%
Lack of competitive substitutes
Roughly 1/3 of CO2 originates from fuel,
2/3 from raw material
CaCO3 → CaO + CO2 | Δ𝑟𝐻0 = 178 kJ/mol
Advantage:
High CO2 concentration (20–30%)
Steady operation

Challenges
Corrosion
negligible for dry CO2 (rel. humidity
below 60%), significant if free water
is present
strict CO2 purity specifications for
corrosion-relevant components, e.g.
H2O < 300 ppmwt,
SO2 < 100 ppmwt,
NOx < 100 ppmwt,
