Strategic Objectives
• Master the chemistry of direct aqueous carbonation.
• Transform hazardous slag into high-value green construction materials.
• Understand the thermodynamics of mineral carbonation.
• Implement circular economy principles in heavy industry.
The Core Challenge
The metallurgical industry produces millions of tons of alkaline slag while contributing significantly to global CO2 emissions.
