“…The reactivity of forsterite and its silicate alteration products has received increasing attention as a potential source material for the divalent cations required to carbonate CO 2 during carbon storage efforts (e.g. Giammar et al, 2005;Oelkers and Schott, 2005;Bearat et al, 2006;Matter et al, 2007;Oelkers et al, 2008;Dufaud et al, 2009;Prigiobbe et al, 2009;Matter and Kelemen, 2009;King et al, 2010;Daval et al, 2011;Guyot et al, 2011;Broecker, 2012;Kohler et al, 2013;Gislason and Oelkers, 2014;Sissmann et al, 2014). This interest has led to a large number of studies aimed at characterizing forsterite dissolution behavior and rates at various fluid compositions and temperatures (Luce et al, 1972;Sanemasa et al, 1972, Grandstaff, 1978, 1986, Murphy and Helgeson, 1987, 1989Blum andLasaga, 1988, Banfield et al, 1990;Walther, 1991, 1992;Casey and Westrich, 1992, Awad et al, 2000, Chen and Brantley, 2000, Rosso and Rimstidt, 2000, Pokrovsky and Schott, 2000a, 2000b, Oelkers, 2001b, Giammar et al, 2005, Hänchen et al, 2006, Olsen and Rimstidt, 2008Davis et al, 2009;Rimstidt et al, 2012;Olsson et al, 2012;Plümper et al, 201...…”

“…One proposed method, currently in the early stages of testing, involves the pumping of CO 2 -rich solutions down boreholes in to rock formations that contain silicate minerals with the requisite cations that are expected to undergo carbonation reactions. This is referred to as in situ CCSM and has been described by Kelemen and Matter (2009) and extensively studied by researches of CarbFix pilot project in Iceland (Gislason et al, 2010 and references therein).…”

Carbon capture and storage by mineralisation (CCSM) is a method proposed for capturing CO 2 by reacting it with magnesium in ultramafic rocks to form carbonate minerals and silica. Large quantities of magnesium silicate rocks are required for this process and to demonstrate the feasibility, and adequately plan for the development and supply of mineral resources, their locations and quantities must be known. This study attempts to globally define the spatial extent and quantity of resources that could be used for the CCSM processes and to asses, if based on resources, this could be a viable, widely applicable CO 2 sequestration process. It has been estimated that around 90 teratonnes of material is available. This is sufficient to capture global CO 2 emissions for over 700 years at current levels of output and highlights the enormous resource. Even if only a small part is utilised, it could make a significant impact on CO 2 reduction. The majority of the resource is contained within ophiolitic rocks. The study further attempts to split CCSM resources into altered (serpentine-rich rocks) and unaltered (olivine-rich rocks) due to the different processing requirements for these rock types. CCSM is likely to be of most use in areas with no access to underground geological CO 2 storage or for small operations where underground storage is not practical. This study demonstrates that substantial resources are available and their supply is unlikely to be a constraint.

“…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.…”

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.
