Mineralogical and chemical changes induced by experiments of interaction betwee...
Moita, P,; Berrezueta, E.; Abdoulghafour, H.; Beltrame, M.; Mirão, J.; Ribeiro, C.; Barrulas, P.; Pedro, J.; Carneiro, J.The focus of this research is a qualitative study of mineralogical and chemical changes in plutonic mafic rock samples after exposure to a CO2-rich brine, under supercritical conditions (SC), to clarify the behavior of brine and rock in the initial stages of mineral carbonation. The studied rock consists of a gabbro-anorthosite from the Odivelas massif, in southern Portugal. The sample was exposed to a SC CO2-r...
Experiments on mineral carbonation of CO2 in gabbro’s from the Sines massif– pr...
Moita, P.; Berrezueta, E.; Pedro, J.; Miguel, C.; Beltrame, M.; Galacho, Cristina; Barrulas, Pedro; Mirão, J.; Carneiro, J.Portugal has committed to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, but the current profile of emissions from the industrial sector requires that CO2 capture and storage technologies are deployed to accomplish that target. Amongst those technologies, mineral carbonation, i.e. the ability to precipitate carbonates by reacting the main cations present in silicates in mafic rocks (e.g. Ca2+, Fe2+) with CO2, turns these r...
Site screening for in situ mineral carbonation options in southern Portugal.
Carneiro, J.; Araújo, A.; Moita, P.; Pedro, J.; Sousa, P.; Beltrame, M.; Berrezueta, E.; Chambel, A.; Correia, A.; Galacho, Cristina; Marques, L.F.The Sines industrial area is the largest CO2 emitting cluster in Portugal, with a coal power plant, a refinery and petrochemical facilities that can be responsible for almost a third of the national emissions from stationary sources. This cluster is seen as an early opportunity to deploy CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) in Portugal, but the nearby offshore sedimentary formations do not provide economic conditions ...
