Abstract

The present disclosure provides methods and systems for processing of ultramafic materials. The ultramafic materials may comprise olivine. The methods and systems described herein may include a high-pressure grinding roll (HPGR) to process the ultramafic materials. The processed ultramafic materials may be added to an aqueous solution to increase an alkalinity of the solution. The processed ultramafic materials may capture carbon dioxide (e.g., atmospheric carbon dioxide.)

Abstract

The invention includes systems, methods, compositions, and processes for designing, manufacturing, and utilizing carbon dioxide-sequestering substrates that can fully or partially replace natural sand in coastal engineering applications. These engineered substrates can offset demand for scarce native sand resources, while also effecting the conversion of gaseous carbon dioxide to dissolved or solid-phase products thereby offsetting impacts of anthropogenic climate change.
