We calculate the trade-off between energy consumption of grinding olivine into smaller particle sizes versus the acceleration of weathering for smaller particles to determine which would have a higher ...

Abstract: The volume %, distribution, texture and composition of coexisting olivine, Cr-spinel and glass has been determined in quenched lava samples from Hawaii, Iceland and mid-oceanic ridges. The ...

The mineralogy and structure of a rock affects it’s susceptibility to weathering. 2. Different minerals weather at different rates. Mafic silicates like olivine and pyroxene tend to weather much ...

Experimental studies on the kinetics of olivine weathering in seawater have also provided insights into the potential of enhanced weathering as a CDR strategy. The dissolution of olivine in ...
