Effectiveness and characteristics of atmospheric CO2 removal in croplands via enhanced weathering of industrial Ca-rich silicate byproducts

Enhanced weathering of industrial Ca-rich silicate byproducts in croplands is potentially profitable for large-scale atmospheric CO2 removal; during the weathering process, CO2 dissolves to form HCO3− and CO32− in alkaline soil pore water, which eventually flows into the ocean. However, the effectiv...
