Enzymatic and Mineralized Conversion Process of CO2 Conversion

Enzymatic and mineralized conversion processes of CO₂ conversion are discussed in Chapter 3. Environmentally friendly carbon mineralization is an advantageous technique for sustainable, long-term development. The raw materials for CO₂ carbonation are cheap and easily available, while carbonates product is outstandingly thermal stable. However, the limitations of the conversion process, such as low carbonation rates, high energy penalties, and costs, hinder large-scale development of the technique and needs to be further resolved. Enzymatic conversion of CO₂ is one of the most widespread processes in nature that convert CO₂ into organic materials, and it is absolutely essential for life and biological evolution. Enzymatic conversion of CO₂ is advantageous because it is highly efficient and pollution free thanks to the specificity and selectivity of biological reaction. In addition, the mineralization of CO₂ is valued for its large-scale CO₂ storage and conversion of CO₂ to chemicals.
