Global warming is continually growing, and CO 2 is the biggest contributor among all
greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies …

Solid wastes are generated from human activities which could cause damage to the
ecological environment and human beings. In recent years, there has been extensive …

Abstract 7 billion tonnes of alkaline materials are produced globally each year as a product
or by-product of industrial activity. The aqueous dissolution of these materials creates high …

Research on carbon capture and storage has been focused on CO2 storage in geologic
formations, with many potential risks. An alternative to conventional geologic storage is …

Carbon mineralization sequesters CO2 by reaction of alkaline earth metal bearing silicate
and hydroxide minerals with CO2 to form stable carbonate minerals. Seifritz (1990) …

Anthropogenic activities represent a major cause of substantial carbon dioxide emission into
the atmosphere, which has given rise to the phenomenon of global warming over the last …

There is growing urgency for CO2 removal strategies to slow the increase of, and potentially
lower, atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Enhanced weathering, whereby the natural …

Mining waste is globally available in abundance and can be seen as a useful mineral
resource for long-term carbon capture which can be turned into revenue-generating …

This work reviews the advantages and disadvantages of using mineral wastes for CCS and
their potential in CO2 abatement, highlighting the potential applications and scenarios. This …

Solid wastes produced during hard-rock mining have capacity to capture and store
atmospheric CO 2 via dissolution and precipitation of Mg-bearing carbonate minerals …
