Lime and hydraulic cement manufacture by electrolysis using hyaloclastite or lava, carbon mineralization by hyaloclastite or lava electrolysis and method of making and using same

Abstract

The invention comprises a method. The method comprises combining hyaloclastite with a first acid such that a first portion of the hyaloclastite reacts with the first acid to form a Ca salt, hydroxide or sulfate, wherein the hyaloclastite is basaltic hyaloclastite or intermediate basaltic hyaloclastite; separating the Ca salt, hydroxide or sulfate from a second portion of the hyaloclastite that does not react with the first acid; and reacting the Ca salt, hydroxide or sulfate with CO2 so that the Ca salt, hydroxide or sulfate is converted to a carbonate. The method further comprises combining hyaloclastite with a basic solution and dissolving and separating one or more metal oxides, metals or REE's or a solution of highly concentrated group of metals and REE's.
