We are excited to announce our recent contribution at the European Mineralogical Society (EMC) conference. Our research team presented an abstract titled “Metal mobility during serpentinite carbonation: evaluating recovery potential and environmental impact” showcasing our latest findings in the field of mineral carbonation and critical raw materials.
This conference provided an invaluable platform to share our advancements with fellow researchers and experts, facilitating discussions on innovative methodologies and emerging trends in mineralogical research. Our presentation highlighted the mobility of potentially hazardous metals during mineral carbonation, contributing to the ongoing effort on the understanding how to upscale safely mineral carbonation techniques. Below you can see a compositional map of carbonated serpentinite, highlighting the distribution of chromium, iron and nickel. The small insert instead shows different XANES patterns for Cr species.
For more details on our research and future presentations, stay tuned to our project updates.
