Research
Carbon sequestration
We study the absorption of carbon dioxide into slurries of minerals such as Forsterite and Basalts, and also in industrial slags from steel plants. The objective is to assess the capacity and rates of absorption in batch slurries as well as concentrated pastes, as a function of mineral type, particles size, temperature and pressure.
