Global Carbon Dioxide Removal Potential of Waste Materials From Metal and Diamond Mining
Frontiers in Climate, 2021 There is growing urgency for CO2 removal strategies to slow the increase of, and potentially lower, atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Enhanced weathering, whereby the natural reactions between CO2 and silicate minerals that produce dissolved bicarbonate ...

Carbon Dioxide Efficiency of Terrestrial Enhanced Weathering [PDF]
, 2014 Terrestrial enhanced weathering, the spreading of ultramafic silicate rock flour to enhance natural weathering rates, has been suggested as part of a strategy to reduce global atmospheric CO2 levels.

Olivine weathering in soil, and its effects on growth and nutrient uptake in Ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.): a pot experiment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Mineral carbonation of basic silicate minerals regulates atmospheric CO(2) on geological time scales by locking up carbon. Mining and spreading onto the earth's surface of fast-weathering silicates, such as olivine, has been proposed to speed up this ...

Weathering features of a remineralizer in soil under different land uses
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2021 The objective of this work was to analyze the mineralogical, morphological, and compositional modifications resulting from the weathering of diabase grains buried into soil under different land uses for up to 378 days.

Enhanced chemical weathering of rocks during the last glacial maximum: a sink for atmospheric CO2? [PDF]
, 1999 It has been proposed that increased rates of chemical weathering and the related drawdown of atmospheric CO2 on the continents may have at least partly contributed to the low CO2 concentrations during the last glacial maximum LGM..

Enhanced Continental Weathering as a Trigger for the End‐Devonian Hangenberg Crisis
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The Hangenberg Crisis coincided with a large decline of biodiversity and widespread anoxia in the end‐Devonian ocean. Previous research attributed marine anoxia to the spread of deeply‐rooted plants and/or increased volcanism on the continents, but ...

Silicate rock weathering and atmospheric/soil CO2 uptake in the Amazon basin estimated from river water geochemistry: seasonal and spatial variations [PDF]
, 2003 Using the data of the CAMREX project (1982–1984) on the water geochemistry of the Amazon river and its main tributaries, it was possible to assess the silicate rock weathering processes and the associated consumption of atmospheric/soil CO2, taking into

Weathering microenvironments on feldspar surfaces: implications for understanding fluid-mineral reactions in soils [PDF]
, 2008 The mechanisms by which coatings develop on weathered grain surfaces, and their potential impact on rates of fluid-mineral interaction, have been investigated by examining feldspars from a 1.1 ky old soil in the Glen Feshie chronosequence, Scottish ...
