Caracterización de escoria de ferroníquel para la captura de CO2 atmosférico
(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Martínez Leiva, Santiago; N/A
Mineral carbonation is the process that involves the reaction of calcium, magnesium and iron silicates, which in the presence of CO2 forms stable carbonates and represents a key strategy to guarantee the capture of CO2. This alternative within the mining context presents great potential to mitigate environmental impacts, and thus achieve sustainable mining. This study focuses on evaluating the characteristics of slag produced by the mining industry in lateritic ferronickel deposits. A bibliographic compilation of existing information was carried out, whose selection criteria focused on mineralogy, geochemistry of tailings, their composition and CO2 capture methods. The results obtained indicate the viability of considering this strategy as an alternative to reduce and mitigate environmental impacts. Detailed understanding of the geochemistry and mineralogy of these wastes generated by metal extraction can provide insight and an option to offset the production of huge amounts of waste and emissions to the environment, and thus ensure sustainable mining.
