Developments in mineral carbonation for Carbon sequestration

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Mineral technology has attracted significant attention in recent decades. Mineral carbonation technology is being used for permanent sequestration of CO2 (greenhouse gas). Temperature programmed desorption studies showed interaction of CO2 with Mg indicating possibility of using natural feedstocks for mineral carbonation.

The Climate Benefit of Carbon Sequestration [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2020
Abstract. Ecosystems play a fundamental role in climate change mitigation by taking up carbon from the atmosphere and storing it for a period of time in organic matter. Although climate impacts of carbon emissions can be quantified by global warming potentials, it is not necessarily clear what are appropriate formal metrics to assess climate benefits ...

Engineering Intelligent Graphene Oxide‐Cellulose Membranes: Suppressing Thermal Runaway for a Safer Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel thermos‐responsive hydroxypropyl cellulose/graphene oxide (HPC/GO) composite membrane is fabricated for reversible temperature‐gated ion transport in aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. Enabled by LCST‐driven structural transition, unimpeded ion diffusion at room temperature delivers high capacity, while elevated temperature suppresses transport; full ...

Modeling Soil Organic Carbon Dynamics, Carbon Sequestration, and the Climate Benefit of Sequestration

open access: yes, 2021
Mathematical models are essential for integrating different processes that control rates of soil carbon dynamics and for assessing carbon sequestration and the related climate benefits. Many models have been proposed in the literature, with no overall consensus on the best model that can provide relevant insights at a large range of scales and for ...
