Brucite Quantification with SWIR and Chemometric Modeling

Brucite quantification has become increasingly important in recent years due to its use in CO2 sequestration to combat climate change. CO2 can be turned into stable carbonate minerals through a natural process called carbon mineralization or mineral carbonation. This traps CO2 from the atmosphere in geologic time. By bringing CO2 in contact with specific minerals that are highly reactive to it, (brucite, serpentine) CO2 can be permanently locked away in a solid, stable form. Ultramafic rocks, which are primarily composed of minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, and serpentine, have shown significant potential for CO2 mineralization.
