The present study used CSC basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slags and NH_4Cl_((aq)) to extract calcium, and then utilized CO_2 to synthesize light calcium carbonate through indirect carbonation process. The results showed that the extraction reaction reached equilibrium at 60 minutes, and the amount of extracted calcium was increased in 2 M NH_4Cl_((aq)) with high extraction selectivity. After the reaction, BOF slags became stable and calcite and vaterite calcium carbonates were then derived. On average, 100 g BOF was able to form 10 g calcium carbonate and consume 4.4 g CO_2 during the reactions. Considering the annual production of BOF slag (diameter<5 μm) is 800,000 tons in Taiwan, the present approach could potentially produce 80,000 tons calcium carbonate and reduce 35,000 tons CO_2.
