Abstract
Aspects of the invention include methods of contacting carbon dioxide with an aqueous mixture. In practicing methods according to certain embodiments, a subterranean brine may be contacted with carbon dioxide to produce a reaction product, which may or may not be further processed as desired. Also provided are methods in which a brine or minerals are contacted with an aqueous composition. Aspects of the invention further include compositions produced by methods of the invention as well as systems for practicing methods of the invention.
Claims60
A method comprising:
- a. contacting carbon dioxide with an aqueous mixture to form a reaction product in the contacted aqueous mixture;
- wherein the reaction product comprises water and dissolved carbon dioxide carbonic acid, carbonates, or bicarbonates or a combination thereof, and
- b. sequestering at least a portion of the reaction product or derivative thereof in a first subterranean location.
A system comprising:
- a. a processor configured for contacting an aqueous mixture with an industrial waste gas comprising carbon dioxide to produce a reaction product comprising water and dissolved carbon dioxide carbonic acid, carbonates, or bicarbonates or a combination thereof;
- b. a first conduit;
- c. a first subterranean location, wherein the conduit provides for transferring a portion of the reaction product or a derivative of the reaction product from the processor to the subterranean location.
A method comprising:
- a. obtaining a reaction product comprising at least 0.0103 mol/cm3 of carbon;
- from carbon dioxide and a first subterranean brine from a first subterranean location, and
- b. sequestering some or all of the reaction product in a second subterranean location.
