Abstract:
A recycling and waste management process receives municipal solid waste (MSW) with substantial organic content to form a self-sustaining Hydrothermal Mineralization (HTM) process based on Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) to receive supercritical steam and carbon dioxide with potential for electrical generation before forming calcium carbonate suitable for concrete production. Hydrothermal mineralization (HTM) provides a rapid elimination of organic wastes while simultaneously producing a non-emissive and thermally stable cement additive to act as a carbon sink. Hydrothermal mineralization (HTM) provides a rapid disposal pathway for organic wastes, a green source of electricity and a final product that can be coupled with traditional and alternative cement productions to reduce carbon footprints of cement production.
