Abstract

Non-cementitious CO 2 sequestering compositions are provided. The compositions of the invention include a CO 2 sequestering additive, e.g., a CO 2 sequestering carbonate composition. Additional aspects of the invention include methods of making and using the non-cementitious CO 2 sequestering compositions.

Claims (5)

1 . A method of sequestering carbon dioxide, the method comprising:

precipitating a CO 2 sequestering carbonate compound composition from an alkaline-earth-metal-containing water, wherein the carbonate compound composition comprises carbon that was released in the form of CO 2 from the combustion of fuel; and

producing a CO 2 sequestering additive comprising the carbonate compound composition; and

producing a non-cementitious composition comprising the CO 2 sequestering additive.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the alkaline-earth-metal-containing water is contacted to an industrial waste stream prior to the precipitating step.
