LS-CARB-M120 Pilot-Scale CO2 Carbonation & Mineralization System (120 L)

10 L, 20 L, and 120 L configurations for laboratory screening through pilot-scale validation.

Configured for pressurized gas-phase CO2 carbonation and mineralization research

LS-CARB-M120 is the scale-up configuration for larger specimens, representative material batches, process-window validation, and pre-industrial carbon curing or mineralization trials. The system combines a gear-meshed pressure-vessel door with external utilities and independent controls. Its optional 1.0 MPa(A) range supports pressurized gas-phase research but remains below the critical pressure of CO2; supercritical and deep-geologic-storage programs require a different reactor class.

LS-CARB-M120 Pilot-Scale CO2 Carbonation & Mineralization System (120 L)

120 L-Class Pilot Capacity

The Ø800 x 800 mm reference chamber provides at least 120 L of usable test space, with alternative dimensions reviewed for the specimen and batch geometry.

Extended Temperature Envelope

Operation from 20 to 150°C supports broader reaction-condition screening, with humidity control specified for operation below 100°C.

Integrated Scale-Up Utilities

Cooling, humidification, vacuum, compressed air, ventilation, specimen support, control, and gas-regulation subsystems are supplied as one coordinated process platform.

Engineered Safety and Installation Review

Gear-meshed door construction, protective logic, alarms, site utilities, floor area, gas handling, ventilation, and destination-market pressure-vessel requirements are reviewed before supply.

Application & Search Guide

Testing Method

Pressurized CO2 carbonation and mineralization process development

LS-CARB-M120 Pilot-Scale CO2 Carbonation & Mineralization System (120 L) is selected by matching material chemistry, specimen or batch size, CO2 concentration, absolute pressure, temperature, humidity, exposure time, gas consumption, data requirements, utilities, ventilation, and destination-market pressure-vessel documentation. The series supports controlled gas-phase carbonation and mineralization research; its pressure range is below the CO2 critical pressure and is not a substitute for a supercritical geologic-storage reactor.

Choose the reaction scale

Use LS-CARB-M10 for compact screening, LS-CARB-M20 when active humidity control and a larger chamber are required, and LS-CARB-M120 for representative batches, larger specimens, and process scale-up.

Define the material and gas balance

Provide feedstock type, particle or specimen geometry, moisture condition, target CO2 concentration, pressure, temperature, cycle time, expected uptake, and the measurements needed before and after reaction.

Review pressure and safety scope

The offered vessel, alarms, door interlocks, gas supply, relief arrangement, ventilation, utilities, and compliance documents are confirmed against the destination and laboratory installation.

Plan the scale-up pathway

Laboratory recipes should be transferred using comparable gas contact, heat and moisture control, loading ratio, and measurable carbon balance rather than chamber volume alone.

Common search terminology

Common search terms for this configuration include 120 L pilot-scale CO2 mineralization system, pilot mineral carbonation reactor, concrete CO2 curing system, and CCU mineralization equipment for recycled concrete, slag, ash, and other alkaline residues. It is a gas-phase pilot reactor, not a supercritical geological-storage simulator.

Technical FAQ

Which LS-CARB-M120 configuration should I choose?

Choose the 10 L configuration for compact screening, the 20 L configuration for humidity-controlled laboratory studies, or the 120 L system for larger specimens and pilot-scale validation. Final selection also depends on utilities, pressure, temperature, gas handling, and documentation requirements.

What materials can be tested in the carbon mineralization series?

Typical programs include cement paste, mortar, concrete, recycled concrete aggregate or fines, slag, ash, mine residues, and other alkaline materials. Compatibility and loading geometry are reviewed before quotation.

Can the LS-CARB-M series simulate supercritical CO2 geological storage?

No. The listed 0.6 MPa(A) standard and 1.0 MPa(A) optional ranges are below the CO2 critical pressure. These systems are intended for pressurized gas-phase carbonation, carbon curing, and mineralization development rather than deep-geologic-storage simulation.

Is the CO2 mineralization series assigned to one international test standard?

No single standard covers all of these research and scale-up workflows. The test recipe, measurement plan, gas balance, safety scope, calibration documents, and destination-market pressure-vessel requirements are confirmed for each project.

Is this equipment also called a carbonation autoclave or CO2 curing chamber?

Those terms are sometimes used in equipment searches, but the required process must be clarified. The LS-CARB-M series is a pressurized gas-phase CO2 mineralization reactor for carbon curing and mineral carbonation; it is not a conventional steam autoclave and does not operate at supercritical CO2 pressure.
