This paper discusses the use of calcium oxide (CaO) as a sorbent for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture in the cement and lime manufacturing industries.

The authors review the literature on the calcination and carbonation of CaO, and discuss the factors that affect the efficiency of CO2 capture. They also present the results of their own experimental work on the regeneration of sintered limestone sorbents.

The following are some of the key questions and answers from the paper:

• What are the advantages of using CaO as a sorbent for CO2 capture?
• What are the factors that affect the efficiency of CO2 capture using CaO?
• What are the challenges associated with the regeneration of sintered limestone sorbents?

The paper concludes by discussing the potential for CaO to be used as a sorbent for CO2 capture in the cement and lime manufacturing industries.
