Zhuang et al. (2023): Potential capture and conversion of CO2 from oceanwater through mineral carbonation

Wen Zhuang, Xiaocheng Song, Min Liu, Qian Wang, Jinming Song, Liqin Duan, Xuegang Li, Huamao Yuan IN: Science of The Total Environment 867, 161589, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.161589

This review explores two main mechanisms (i.e., enhanced weathering and ocean alkalinization) and materials (e.g., silicate rocks, metal oxides, and metal hydroxides) that regulate marine chemical carbon sink (MCCS). This work also compares MCCS with other terrestrial and marine carbon sinks and discusses the implementation of MCCS, including the following aspects: chemical reaction rate, cost, and possible ecological and environmental impacts.
