Mineral carbonation is considered to be the most stable mechanism for the sequestration of CO2. This study comprises a comparative review of the effect of ball milling on the CO2 uptake of ultramafic/mafic lithologies, ...

The goal of this study is to propose a cost-effective method for the optimization of the ex situ carbonation of basaltic rocks. The ball milling process was applied to a sample of olivine basalt from the Troodos ophiolite ...

Enhanced weathering of mafic and ultramafic rocks has been suggested as a carbon sequestration strategy for the mitigation of climate change. This study was designed to assess the potential drawdown of CO2 directly from ...

Mineral carbonation has been suggested as a safe carbon capture and storage (CCS) strategy for the mitigation of climate change. This study investigates the effect of ball milling on the CO2 sequestration capacity of ...

The investigation of potential options for CO2 sequestration is of vital importance for alleviating the ongoing climate problem. This paper presents an efficient method for enhancing the ex situ carbonation of dunites. The ...
