The NuKoS project aims to increase the resource efficiency of the industry by using CO2. To this end, raw gases containing CO2 are to be used in slags from steel and metal production that have not yet been subjected to high-grade material recycling. Here, carbonation is introduced and by doing this, the carbonation properties of the slag are to be used to produce new high-quality building materials or even basic chemicals from these fine fractions (e.g. carbonates used in various branches of industry). The focus is also on the necessary quality requirements for the CO2-containing gas.
