Article Synopsis
  • Calcium carbonate precipitation is key to carbon capture, but its atomic-level mechanisms are not fully understood.
  • The study uses molecular dynamics simulations to explore how varying silicon and aluminum concentrations in cement affects carbonation rates and polymerization.
  • Results indicate that lower Si/Al levels and higher temperatures enhance carbonate formation, while Si and Al increase local atom stress and energy barriers, affecting the carbonation process.

The precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO) is a key mechanism in carbon capture applications relying on mineralization. In that regard, Ca-rich cementitious binders offer a unique opportunity to act as a large-scale carbon sink by immobilizing CO as calcium carbonate by mineralization. However, the atomistic mechanism of calcium carbonate formation is still not fully understood.

A rapid, selective and highly sensitive high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method (LC-MS/MS) was developed and validated for the determination and pharmacokinetic investigation of eptifibatide in human plasma. Eptifibatide and the internal standard (IS), EPM-05, were extracted from plasma samples using solid phase extraction. Chromatographic separation was performed on a C(18) column at a flow rate of 0.
