Enhancing magnesium mineral carbonation for sustainable carbon storage. Subsurface carbon mineralisation enables long-term storage of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. This project aims to quantify the effect of water composition (ionic and pH) on the efficiency of magnesium-based carbon mineralisation, and hence exploit a unique Australian combination of natural acidic brine and mafic mine tailings (both waste streams) to continuously produce optimal carbonate products enabling economic carbon capture. Critical is mineralisation that maximises carbon capture whilst retaining high system gas and liquid permeability. To this end, magnetic resonance techniques using ferromagnetic contrast will be developed to non-invasively monitor the onset of this mineralisation and the subsequent pore space modification. Field of research: 4004 - Chemical Engineering This research project provides essential understanding of how acidic brine sourced from natural salt lakes in Western Australia (WA) can be combined with mining waste (tailings) to allow economic and efficient capture of CO2 from mining operations. These acidic salt lakes are very rare; their co-location with mining operations in South West WA gives this CO2 capture process a unique geographical advantage. The magnesium rich brines and the mine tailings react with CO2 to produce carbonate rock effectively permanently locking the CO2 in a solid form. The problem with combining these waste streams is understanding how the on-set of surface carbonation and growth affects fluid permeability and therefore the ability to maximise carbon capture. Low magnetic field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods developed by this project will monitor this mineral carbonation process. This allows optimal waste stream mixing to maximise carbon capture. The use of a heap leaching process will enhance the potential to translate results towards industrial-scale application for carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS). The findings from this project will allow for the development of new Australian technologies which provide both an economical and environmental benefit from the use of multiple waste streams from mining operations. This research therefore supports the Australian economy, and importantly will assist Australia to meet its target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
