In a world first, researchers at Aalto University have
opened a new pilot plant that converts CO2 and slag, the by-product of steel
manufacturing, into Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC).
PCC is a valuable mineral product used in e.g. plastics,
papers, rubbers and paints. The innovative plant represents the next stage
prior commercialization of a new process that consumes CO2 in order to convert
a low-value by-product into a highly valuable resource for industry.
