Wollastonite Carbonation in Water-Bearing Supercritical CO2: Effects of Particle Size
Open accessAbstract
The performance of geologic CO 2 sequestration (GCS) can be affected by CO 2 mineralization and changes in the permeability of geologic formations resulting from interactions between water-bearing supercritical CO 2 (scCO 2 ) and silicates in reservoir rocks. However, without an understanding of the size effects, the findings in previous studies using nanometer- or micrometer-size particles cannot be applied to the bulk rock in field sites. In this study, we report the effects of particle sizes on the carbonation of wollastonite (CaSiO 3 ) at 60 °C and 100 bar in water-bearing scCO 2 . After normalization by the surface area, the thickness of the reacted wollastonite layer on the surfaces was independent of particle sizes. After 20 h, the reaction was not controlled by the kinetics of surface reactions but by the diffusion of water-bearing scCO 2 across the product layer on wollastonite surfaces. Among the products of reaction, amorphous silica, rather than calcite, covered the wollastonite surface and acted as a diffusion barrier to water-bearing scCO 2 . The product layer was not highly porous, with a specific surface area 10 times smaller than that of the altered amorphous silica formed at the wollastonite surface in aqueous solution. These findings can help us evaluate the impacts of mineral carbonation in water-bearing scCO 2 .

Amorphous silica formed during wollastonite carbonation in wet scCO2 is not porous and acts as a diffusion barrier, contributing to unique solute transport properties associated with thin water films.
“Specifically, amorphous silica formed during wollastonite [CaSiO3] in wet scCO2 is not porous and was implicated as a diffusion barrier, contributing to fundamentally unique solute transport properties associated with thin water films.202”
From Molecular-scale mechanisms of CO2 mineralization in nanoscale interfacial water films (2022) · cites this paper as [202]
The section “Amorphous silica acts as a diffusion barrier for water-bearing scCO2” (page unavailable) describes the silica layer as low-porosity and says it can act as a diffusion barrier; it links the porosity difference to chemistry in thin water films. It does not say the layer is nonporous or establish fundamentally unique solute-transport properties. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredInterfacial silica-rich layers that form during dissolution in interfacial water films are different from those that repolymerize in a bulk aqueous environment.
“A salient investigation by Min et al. 202 revealed that interfacial silica-rich layers that form during dissolution in interfacial water films are different from those that repolymerize in a bulk aqueous environment.”
From Molecular-scale mechanisms of CO2 mineralization in nanoscale interfacial water films (2022) · cites this paper as [202]
The Environmental Implications section reports that silica layers formed in water-bearing supercritical CO₂ and aqueous solutions have different morphologies; the diffusion-barrier section also finds different porosities. The copy does not establish that the layers formed in bulk aqueous solution do so by repolymerization. (LLM, conf=0.82)

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.
