How the US can mine its own critical minerals − all without digging new holes Rare earth elements are tiny yet essential parts of many of the technologies you use every day. New techniques are ...

Nuvau Minerals Inc., is pleased to share a highlight from its fall 2023 sonic drilling program at the Matagami Mining Camp that has delineated an exciting new gold target on the Company's large ...

The minerals captured carbon dioxide over a time period of weeks to months, which is still thousands of times faster than natural rock weathering. The magnesium silicate could come from rocks such as ...

Stanford University chemists have developed a practical and affordable way to permanently remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to combat global warming. Their new process uses heat to ...

Rapid carbon removal with new chemistry In nature, silicate minerals gradually bind with CO2 through weathering, forming stable carbonates over hundreds or thousands of years. Researchers worldwide ...

In nature, common minerals called silicates react with water and atmospheric CO2 to form stable bicarbonate ions and solid carbonate minerals – a process known as weathering.

When heated, the minerals exchange ions and become magnesium oxide and calcium silicate, two alkaline minerals that quickly react to acidic CO 2 in the air.

Converting silicates into more reactive minerals would increase the weathering rate, making ERW a viable climate solution, he says.

Enhanced weathering In nature, common minerals called silicates react with water and atmospheric CO 2 to form stable bicarbonate ions and solid carbonate minerals -- a process known as weathering.
