“…After 1,000 years, 43% of the injected CO 2 is trapped in the gas phase, 28% in the aqueous, and 29% in the solid (mineral) phase. As discussed in Xu et al (2004Xu et al ( , 2005 in the reaction rate and abundance of chlorite, and plagioclase composition affect significantly the estimates of mineral alteration and CO 2 storage in different trapping mechanisms.…”

Abstract. One way to reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) releases to the atmosphere, is to capture it from power plants and then inject it into deep geological formations.Understanding water-gas-mineral reactions is the core of assessing the long term storage and risks in geological sequestration. Because of various limitations of laboratory and field tests, reactive transport modeling has been one important supplementary or independent tool to study the water-gas-mineral reactions at different components of geological sequestration. In this paper, we reviewed the applications of reactive transport modeling to three aspects of CO 2 geological sequestration: the behavior of CO 2 in storage formation, the storage security issues related to caprock integrity or wellbore cement degradation, and the change of the shallow groundwater in response to the potential leakage of CO 2 . Key finding are summarized and further research needs are identified. The lack of the detailed mineralogical composition information at the storage formation, caprock and overlying aquifers is currently the first obstacle for quantitative prediction of geochemical evolution. The thermodynamic properties of relevant minerals under high temperature and pressure have to be refined. Reliable reaction rates of minerals dissolution/precipitation at field are still the bottle neck of the calculating the long term mineral trapping of CO 2 . Issues related to relatively fast reactions such sorption and ion exchange need special attention when the impact of CO 2 leakage on shallow groundwater was evaluated. The role of organic compounds in water-gas-mineral reactions needs further study.2

“…Numerous studies have been published in the past on sequestering CO2 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] along with different direct and indirect methods of reducing the overall CO2 emissions. Among the CO2 sequestration methods, mineral route of carbonation, especially of alkaline earth oxide bearing rocks, has proven to be an effective means [4,[8][9][10][11][12][13]. The high compressive and tensile strength of secondary carbonate rocks [14][15][16], formed as a result of mineral trapping, suggests the possibility of using mineral carbonation to form a sustainable binder for construction.…”

Pore- and micro-structural characterization of a novel structural binder based on iron carbonation

The pore-and micro-structural features of a novel binding material based on the carbonation of waste metallic iron powder is reported in this paper. The binder contains metallic iron powder as the major ingredient, followed by additives containing silica and alumina to facilitate favorable reaction product formation. Compressive strengths sufficient for a majority of concrete applications are attained. The material pore structure is investigated primarily through mercury intrusion porosimetry whereas electron microscopy is used for microstructural characterization. Reduction in the overall porosity and the average pore size with an increase in carbonation duration from 1 day to 4 days are noticed. The pore structure features are used in predictive models for gas and moisture transport (water vapor diffusivity and moisture permeability) through the porous medium which dictates its long-term durability when used in structural applications. Comparisons of the pore structure with those of a Portland cement paste are also provided. The morphology of the reaction products in the iron-based binder, its elemental composition and the distribution of constituent elements in the microstructure are also reported.
