Article Synopsis
- The study explores how adding hydrated minerals and rocks to the environment can help remove carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere by increasing alkalinity and forming bicarbonate.
- It finds that while silicate minerals offer moderate alkalinity enhancement, volcanic rocks like basalt actually release CO₂ instead of capturing it.
- Ground cement and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) show significant potential in enhancing alkalinity and mineralizing CO₂, though cement waste has limitations due to variable composition and possible heavy metal contamination.
