Study on mineral carbonation of heat activated lizardite at pilot and laboratory scale

The yield of magnesite in mineral carbonation experiments using demineralised water and tap water was almost identical. Undertaking reaction in 1 M NaCl solution did not have a significant effect, but adding 0.64 M sodium bicarbonate had a notable effect on magnesite yield. Low pressure, low temperature dissolution experiments using L.H.A sample displayed similar rates of magnesium extraction in the pilot and the laboratory scale reactors.
