Abstract
As a part of the project “Crust formation as CO2 sink” (supported by the Saxon State Agency of Environment and Geology) the feasibility of catalysed crust formation in mining residues was investigated by means of lab and field experiments. The sites for field studies included a former lignite mining site as well as a dump and tailings from former uranium mining. Project purpose was to investigate the occurrence of metal binding crust formations induced by CO2 infiltration, but also to investigate the possibility to use post-mining sites for CO2 sequestration.
