A carbonized brick of recycled concrete powders and a preparation method thereof are provided, belonging to the field of concrete materials. The preparation method includes: adding composition A to a liquid storage tank; introducing composition B into the liquid storage tank to react with a solid waste solution to generate calcium bicarbonate solution; filling recycled powders into a molding die, decomposing the calcium bicarbonate solution by heat, reacting generated carbon dioxide with calcium ions leached from a C—S—H gel in the recycled powders to produce calcium carbonate, and precipitating, crystallizing and cementing in the molding die together with calcium carbonate produced by decomposing calcium bicarbonate solution, and resulting in strength of the recycled powders.

Aspects of the invention include methods of removing carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) from a CO.sub.2 containing gas. In some instances, the methods include contacting CO.sub.2 containing gas with a bicarbonate buffered aqueous medium under conditions sufficient to produce a bicarbonate rich product. Where desired, the resultant bicarbonate rich product or a component thereof may then be stored or further processed, e.g., combined with a divalent alkaline earth metal cation, under conditions sufficient to produce a solid carbonate composition. Aspects of the invention further include systems for practicing the methods, as well as products produced by the methods.

A fluidized solidified soil based on gold tailings includes the following raw materials in parts by mass: 75 parts to 80 parts of gold tailings, 5.2 parts to 13 parts of a dispersant solution, and 9 parts to 16 parts of a solidifying material. A preparation method includes the following steps: mixing the gold tailings with the dispersant solution, and then stirring to obtain a suspension slurry of the gold tailings; and adding the solidifying material, and stirring to obtain the fluidized solidified soil. In the present disclosure, the gold tailings are used as a main material, combined with a special dispersant solution and a special solidifying material, and a fluidized solidified soil is prepared with fluidity suitable for pumping and a certain strength after hardening. The fluidized solidified soil prevents the pollution caused by gold tailings landfilling, and can be used as a filling material for various construction projects.
