| description | Mineral carbonation is considered to be the most stable mechanism for the sequestration of CO<sub>2</sub>. This study comprises a comparative review of the effect of ball milling on the CO<sub>2</sub> uptake of ultramafic/mafic lithologies, which are the most promising rocks for the mineralization of CO<sub>2</sub>. Samples of dunite, pyroxenite, olivine basalt and of a dolerite quarry waste material were previously subjected to ball milling to produce ultrafine powders with enhanced CO<sub>2</sub> uptake. The optimum milling conditions were determined through selective CO<sub>2</sub> chemisorption followed by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) experiments, revealing that the CO<sub>2</sub> uptake of the studied lithologies can be substantially enhanced via mechanical activation. Here, all these data are compared, demonstrating that the behavior of each rock under the effect of ball milling is predominantly controlled by the mineralogical composition of the starting rock materials. The ball-milled rock with the highest CO<sub>2</sub> uptake is the dunite, followed by the olivine basalt, the pyroxenite and the dolerite. The increased CO<sub>2</sub> uptake after ball milling is mainly attributed to the reduction of particle size to the nanoscale range, thus creating more adsorption sites per gram basis, as well as to the structural disordering of the constituent silicate minerals. |
