Abstract

Research on carbon capture and storage has been focused on CO 2 storage in geologic formations, with many potential risks. An alternative to conventional geologic storage is carbon mineralization, where CO 2 is reacted with metal cations to form carbonate minerals. Mineralization methods can be broadly divided into two categories: in situ and ex situ. In situ mineralization, or mineral trapping, is a component of underground geologic sequestration, in which a portion of the injected CO 2 reacts with alkaline rock present in the target formation to form solid carbonate species. In ex situ mineralization, the carbonation reaction occurs above ground, within a separate reactor or industrial process. This literature review is meant to provide an update on the current status of research on CO 2 mineralization.

  • The carbonation process generates heat as an exothermic reaction, and the reactions can be self-perpetuated without additional energy input.

    “In addition, the carbonation process generates heat, namely exothermic reaction (Equation (1)), and the reactions can be self-perpetuated without additional energy input [14].”

    From Integrated Mineral Carbonation of Ultramafic Mine Deposits—A Review (2018) · cites this paper as [14]

    The Direct Carbonation section says the overall reaction is exothermic. The Indirect Gas-Solid Carbonation section reports that one proposed process could, in theory, operate with low or even negative energy input; it does not establish that carbonation reactions generally sustain themselves without additional energy. The Feed Activation section also describes energy-intensive preparation. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.90)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
