“…The optimum temperature for carbon mineralization of olivine is ∼185 • C (O'Connor et al, 2005;Gadikota et al, 2014). Serpentine-rich mine tailings are an intriguing option as the carbonation of asbestiform chrysotile would mitigate health and environmental hazards, and products of rapid heat-treatment of serpentine-rich mine tailings could be used as a feedstock for carbon mineralization using concentrated sources of CO 2 (McKelvy et al, 2004;Maroto-Valer et al, 2005;O'Connor et al, 2005;Li et al, 2009;Larachi et al, 2010Larachi et al, , 2012Balucan et al, 2011;Fedoročková et al, 2012;Balucan and Dlugogorski, 2013;Werner et al, 2013Werner et al, , 2014Dlugogorski and Balucan, 2014;Ghoorah et al, 2014;Hariharan et al, 2014Hariharan et al, , 2016Pasquier et al, 2014;Sanna et al, 2014;Hariharan and Mazzotti, 2017). However, these ex-situ methods are more expensive than the projected cost of direct air capture of CO 2 , and significantly more expensive than CO 2 storage in subsurface pore space (see section Costs and Reservoir Capacities).…”
