“…Such reactions can be realized in both aqueous and dry conditions. Nevertheless, while mineral carbonation offers safe storage for CO 2 , the reaction kinetics leading to this storage can be unreasonably slow . Direct utilization of CO 2 is used to cultivate microalgae, which in turn can be used as a feedstock for the production of biofuels .…”

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an important low-carbon management technology used to reduce CO 2 emissions with the captured anthropogenic CO 2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). This paper provides an overview and analysis of current issues related to CCS projects and CCS technologies. The paper also assesses risks and costs as well as policy, legal, and regulatory frameworks relevant for CCS and the major countries with CCS deployment. Currently, the few CCS projects in operation are mostly for EOR purposes. However, miscible CO 2 -EOR in depleted oil and gas reservoirs appears to be the industry's first choice for CO 2 sequestration and increasing oil production. Potential CO 2 leakage is a major risk for pipelines and geological storage and a comprehensive monitoring program needs to be developed to ascertain its impact on pipeline material integrity, humans, and the environment. The cost of the CCS chain largely depends on the compression solvent for the synthesis gas or flue gas treatment for separation, heat rate, energy required for capture, capital costs of capture equipment, pipeline diameter, and flow capacity, and the homogeneity and permeability of the geological formations. An effective carbon pricing and cap-and-trade system as a part of national carbon policy is needed to achieve the goal of CCS. This paper finally discusses China's carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) systems and proposes a new CCUS-LNG transportation process system for the coastal areas of China. Special attention was focused on CO 2 transportation, CCUS-EOR, and a new CCUS-LNG process system for China.

“…With the mechanical activation as pre-treatment method in the integrated mineral carbonation process the carbonation efficiency reach 60%, the mine can potentially sequester 14.62 Mt/y CO2 using mine waste rock and tailings during the life of mine, and the operating cost ranged from 104 to 107 $/t CO2 (Li and Hitch 2016c). Pasquier et al (2016) has investigate an integrated mineral carbonation process using southern Qué bec mining wastes as CO2 feedstock with heat treatment, adsorb CO2 directly from flue gas, and recover the by-products (pure carbonate). The mine could sequester 0.39 Mt/y.…”

Dramatical increase in the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has led to the climate change, which poses a significant threat to human life on Earth. CO2 sequestration via mineral carbonation is the one of the most effective method for mitigating global warming, and is the only way that could store CO2 permanently. In recent years, integrating mineral carbonation via ultramafic mine deposit has received significant attention due to its high potentiality towards commercial application. This review compiles the work conducted by various researchers over the last few years on integrated mineral carbonation processes in mining industry, which use the mine waste materials as CO2 feedstock for mineral carbonation. This paper initially introduces the basic theory of mineral carbonation, with a brief description of various techniques that enhance the rate of mineral carbonation. The enhanced mineral carbonation strategies include pre-treatment of feedstock by thermal, chemical and mechanical activation, and carbonation in a direct or indirect carbonation routes under gas/solid phase or aqueous phase. This paper then introduces the scope of application of integrated mineral carbonation. This includes the types of mine suitable for integrated mineral carbonation, the properties of mine waste materials preferable for CO2 sequestration, and the worldwide locations potentially viable for integrated mineral carbonation. Moreover, this paper critically reviews and discusses the integrated mineral carbonation process in mining industry. The integrated mineral carbonation processes include modified passive carbonation techniques at tailing dams, and ex-situ carbonation routes using fresh tailings. The focus of the discussions is the role of reaction condition on the carbonation efficiency of mine waste with various mineralogy, and the drawback of each integrated mineral carbonation process. All the discussions lead to the suggestions on the technology improvement in the integrated mineral carbonation process. Finally, this paper reviews the economical assessments on the existing integrated mineral carbonation process. Literature to date indicates that the value-add by-products (i.e. recovered metals, valuable carbonated products) play an important role in commercialization of an integrated mineral carbonation process.

This work examines factors, which can influence the formation of magnesium (Mg) carbonate phases produced during direct aqueous carbonation of heat‐activated lizardite, hydromagnesite, and the targeted magnesite phase. Carbon dioxide mass transfer and mixing during the course of the reaction was examined by varying impeller positioning and stirring speed of the dual impeller reactor. From a practical perspective, this provides some insight into the importance of reactor design, to achieve the highest possible magnesite yield. At the lowest stirring speed studied (100 rpm), two Mg‐carbonate phases were observed in all samples. By simply increasing the stirring speed, hydromagnesite was observed only during the initial stages of reaction and magnesite formation dominated thereafter. Higher yields of carbonate were obtained for the intermediate and maximum stirring speeds (450 and 600 rpm), respectively. Positioning of the uppermost impeller near to the liquid surface was also found to favor the formation of magnesite. Thermodynamic simulations (using OLIAnalyzer 9.2) were in a good agreement with the experimental results.
