Forsterite-to-magnesite carbonation has apparent activation energies of 34±7 kJ/mol at 100% RH and 83±17 kJ/mol at 85% RH.
“Miller et al. 46,137 measured time-dependent forsterite to magnesite carbonation at different temperatures, and determined apparent activation energies of 34±7 kJ/mol at 100% RH and 83±17 kJ/mol at 85% RH, Figure 7.”
From Molecular-scale mechanisms of CO2 mineralization in nanoscale interfacial water films (2022) · cites this paper as [46]
The results section reports an apparent activation energy of 36±6 kJ/mol for magnesite precipitation in ~1 nm water films from 50–90 °C, using forsterite reacted with water-saturated CO₂. That supports the general measurement described, but not the quoted 34±7 kJ/mol value; our copy also does not report an 85% RH measurement or 83±17 kJ/mol. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
