Temperature dependence of amorphous magnesium carbonate structure studied by PDF and XAFS analyses

Abstract Mineral trapping through the precipitation of carbonate minerals is a potential approach to reduce CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere. The temperature dependence of amorphous magnesium carbonate (AMC), a precursor of crystalline magnesium carbonate hydrates, was investigated using synchrotr...
