Enhancement of aragonite mineralization with a chelating agent for CO2 storage and utilization at low to moderate temperatures

Abstract Among the CaCO3 polymorphs, aragonite demonstrates a better performance as a filler material in the paper and plastic industries. Despite being ideal from the environmental protection perspective, the production of aragonite particles via CO2 mineralization of rocks is hindered by the diffi...
