Olivine in the age of Climate Crisis

The Seratech process starts by splitting olivine into silica and magnesium. The Silica can directly replace up to 40 percent of cement in an ordinary concrete mix thus generating carbon neutral …

Olivine Carbonation

Economies of scale applying to today's mining technology suggest a minimum mining operation of 50,000 to 100,000 tonnes day-1 (Hartman, 1992), which translates into a minimum mineable volume of about 0.3 km3 for a mine with a 30 year life.

Olivine Mining

Surface mining, including open-pit mining and quarrying, is the most common method. After extraction, the olivine is processed to remove impurities, and the grade is refined to meet …

CO2 sequestration by carbonation of olivine: a …

Olivine particles (120 μm) can be converted at 81% with a low excess of acid within 3 h at 95°C. The silica quantitatively recovered exhibits a BET area over 400 m 2 g -1, allowing valuable applications to be considered.

How is Olivine Stone Mined?

In surface mining, olivine is extracted through open pit mining or quarrying. Like other minerals found near the surface, olivine deposits are first identified through geological surveys and surface mapping.

Process | Carbon removal that checks all the right boxes

We use our patented direct direct measurement approach, to quantify how much CO2 the olivine removed while carefully monitoring soil and ecosystem health. The captured CO2 is converted …

Process | Carbon removal that checks all the right boxes

We use our patented direct direct measurement approach, to quantify how much CO2 the olivine removed while carefully monitoring soil and ecosystem health. The captured CO2 is converted into stable bicarbonate that travels to the ocean, locking it away for …

Olivine Mining

Surface mining, including open-pit mining and quarrying, is the most common method. After extraction, the olivine is processed to remove impurities, and the grade is refined to meet specific industrial requirements. Geologically, olivine is found in specific layers known as "dunite."

Olivine: a supergreen fuel

Plate-tectonic processes have pushed up enormous slabs of olivine-rich rocks from the mantle to the Earth's surface, where they can be mined in open pit mines. Their weathering, in case of excess fluid as in wet climates, proceeds according to the following reaction below:

Olivine: Common Rock-Forming Mineral

Olivine is a crucial rock-forming mineral in mafic and ultramafic igneous rocks. Olivine is also a common component of the Earth's mantle, and is considered to be the most abundant mineral on Earth, though not very common on the surface as it weathers quickly when exposed to …

Olivine in the age of Climate Crisis

The Seratech process starts by splitting olivine into silica and magnesium. The Silica can directly replace up to 40 percent of cement in an ordinary concrete mix thus generating carbon neutral concrete.

OLIVINE: This little known mineral, might hold the key to …

Stretching 350 km in length and 40 km wide, it's thought to be the largest inferred mineral resource of olivine – a silicate mineral estimated to cover 50 to 70 percent of the Earth's upper …

Stretching 350 km in length and 40 km wide, it's thought to be the largest inferred mineral resource of olivine – a silicate mineral estimated to cover 50 to 70 percent of the Earth's upper mantle which could potentially capture a vast amount of the world's CO2.

Olivine weathering

Olivine is a green mineral that reacts with CO2 in the ocean to form a harmless silt. This reaction might be the key to slowing down climate change, or reversing it altogether. A long cycle – as powerful as it is slow – is at work in the rocks, rainwater and air of Earth.
