Carbon dioxide mineral carbonisation is a means to achieve permanent carbon dioxide storage, this paper to solid waste materials as the main raw material to prepare fly ash-based carbon dioxide storage materials. Through the design of carbon dioxide adsorption experimental setup to study the main factors affecting the adsorption capacity of the fly ash-based storage materials, the experimental results show that, the fly ash mass fraction decreased from 90 to 10%, the water-cement ratio increased from 0.4 to 0.8 when the CO2 adsorption of fly ash-based materials increased by 82% and 30%, respectively. The effect of strong alkali on CO2 adsorption capacity was also investigated in this paper, and the results showed that the CO2 adsorption of the fly ash-based material sample with 10 ml NaOH added increased by 197% compared with that of the sample with 5 ml NaOH added, whereas the adsorption amount was reduced by 85% when 25 ml NaOH was added instead, which was attributed to the accelerated hydration process of the material due to the excessive alkalinity that consumed the calcium and magnesium ions in the material, and at the same time the production of hydration products hindered the transport of CO2 within the material, which led to a decrease in CO2 adsorption.
