Proposed is a carbon dioxide capture and carbon resource utilization system, for a fuel cell, using boil-off gas (BOG) generated from liquefied natural gas. The system includes a liquefied natural gas storage configured to store liquefied natural gas (LNG), a hydrocarbon reformer configured to react boil-off gas generated from liquefied natural gas storage with water input from outside, thereby generating a gas mixture containing hydrogen and carbon dioxide, a fuel cell configured to generate electric power by receiving hydrogen, a reactor configured to capture carbon dioxide by reacting carbon dioxide with a basic alkali mixture solution and to collect a reaction product containing the captured carbon dioxide and to separate a carbon dioxide reaction product and a waste solution from the reaction product, and a hydrogen generator configured to generate hydrogen and to supply the generated hydrogen to the fuel cell.

A system and method for heat produced at a nuclear power plant as the energy source for carbon dioxide sequestration while simultaneously producing electricity. The system includes a nuclear power plant that differs significantly from conventional designs inasmuch as its design is tightly integrated into the carbon dioxide sequestration system. The system generates electricity and sequesters carbon dioxide at the same time. Instead of simply generating electricity from the nuclear reactor and then using that electricity to run a sequestration process, the method is designed to directly provide the requisite thermal energy to the sequestration process, and simultaneously power an electrical generator. Another feature of the system design is a method of optimizing load balancing between the electrical grid and carbon dioxide sequestration.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of producing lithium carbonate. The lithium carbonate can be produced by contacting a lithium precursor with a carbon dioxide gas. The lithium carbonate produced from this method can include micron-sized lithium carbonate particles with nano-sized lithium carbonate particles coated on a surface of the micron-sized lithium carbonate particles.

In a method of recovering an active metal of a lithium secondary battery, a cathode active material mixture is prepared from a waste cathode of a lithium secondary. The cathode active material mixture is reacted with a reductive reaction gas to form a preliminary precursor mixture having a reduction degree of transition metal defined by Equation 1 in a range from 0.24 to 1.6. A lithium precursor is recovered from the preliminary precursor mixture. A lithium recovery ration is improved by adjusting the reduction degree of transition metal.
