Formation of Calcium Carbonate from Oxides

CaO + CO2 → CaCO3

概述

Calcium oxide reacts with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate. This is the reverse of the lime-burning process and occurs naturally in geological carbon sequestration. Limewater (calcium hydroxide solution) turns milky when CO2 is bubbled through due to this reaction.

日常示例

The classic limewater test for carbon dioxide relies on this reaction, as the milky precipitate is calcium carbonate.

工业重要性

这一反应是碳捕获与矿化(CCUS)技术的基础,也是混凝土碳化的机理。工业上可利用此反应将CO₂永久固化为固态碳酸钙矿物。
