Abstract
Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies are utmost need of the modern era. CCUS technologies adoption is compulsory to keep global warming below 1.5 °C. Mineral carbonation (MC) is considered one of the safest and most viable methods to sequester anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2). MC is an exothermic reaction and occur naturally in the subsurface because of fluid-rock interactions with serpentinite. In serpentine carbonation, CO2 reacts with magnesium to produce carbonates. This article covers CO2 mitigation technologies especially mineral carbonation, mineral carbonation by natural and industrial materials, mineral carbonation feedstock availability in Pakistan, detailed characterization of serpentine from Skardu serpentinite belt, geo sequestration, oceanic sequestration, CO2 to urea and CO2 to methanol and other chemicals. Advantages, disadvantages, and suitability of these technologies is discussed. These technologies are utmost necessary for Pakistan as recent climate change induced flooding devastated one third of Pakistan affecting millions of families. Hence, Pakistan must store CO2 through various CCUS technologies.

Abdul F, Iizuka A, Ho HJ, Adachi K, Shibata E. Potential of major by-products from non-ferrous metal industries for CO 2 emission reduction by mineral carbonation: a review. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023:10.1007/s11356-023-27898-y. [PMID: 37308624 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-27898-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 05/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
By-products from the non-ferrous industry are an environmental problem; however, their economic value is high if utilized elsewhere. For example, by-products that contain alkaline compounds can potentially sequestrate CO2 through the mineral carbonation process. This review discusses the potential of these by-products for CO2 reduction through mineral carbonation. The main by-products that are discussed are red mud from the alumina/aluminum industry and metallurgical slag from the copper, zinc, lead, and ferronickel industries. This review summarizes the CO2 equivalent emissions generated by non-ferrous industries and various data about by-products from non-ferrous industries, such as their production quantities, mineralogy, and chemical composition. In terms of production quantities, by-products of non-ferrous industries are often more abundant than the main products (metals). In terms of mineralogy, by-products from the non-ferrous industry are silicate minerals. Nevertheless, non-ferrous industrial by-products have a relatively high content of alkaline compounds, which makes them potential feedstock for mineral carbonation. Theoretically, considering their maximum sequestration capacities (based on their oxide compositions and estimated masses), these by-products could be used in mineral carbonation to reduce CO2 emissions. In addition, this review attempts to identify the difficulties encountered during the use of by-products from non-ferrous industries for mineral carbonation. This review estimated that the total CO2 emissions from the non-ferrous industries could be reduced by up to 9-25%. This study will serve as an important reference, guiding future studies related to the mineral carbonation of by-products from non-ferrous industries.
