Kaolinite is a soft, earthy, usually white, mineral produced by the chemical weathering of aluminium silicate minerals like feldspar.

For the determination of silicate inclusions, many methods (chlorine, bromine, iodine and electrolytic) have been used successfully. But they are all rather difficult ; other simpler methods ...

Natural silicate minerals such as basalt react with water and CO2 to form solid carbonate materials, a process known as enhanced rock weathering (ERW). Studies suggest spreading crushed silicate ...

By leveraging common magnesium-rich silicate minerals, the researchers presented a scalable solution for large-scale carbon ...
