Geological carbon sequestration: Modeling mafic rock carbonation using point-source flue gases

Geological Sequestration of CO2: Mechanisms and Kinetics of CO2 Reactions in Mafic and Ultramafic Rock Formations

We investigated the interactions between CO2-rich fluids and Mg-silicate minerals using experiments to provide information on reaction rates and to identify potential catalysts for the reactions, and studies of natural analogues to assess the conditions that lead to massive carbonation of ultramafic rocks and thus the potential for field-scale implementation. Key findings from our exploratory w...

Geological Sequestration of CO2: Mechanisms and Kinetics of CO2 Reactions in Mafic and Ultramafic Rock Formations

The main purpose of this exploratory project is to develop a more fundamental understanding of the long-term sequestration of CO2 via mineral carbonation reactions involving the common Mg-silicates in serpentinite and basalt mineral assemblages. Past experimental studies have shown that these reactions are kinetically limited, so we are exploring ways to enhance their kinetics, including the us...
