Laboratory-scale model of carbon dioxide deposition for soil stabilisation

Olivine sand is a natural mineral, which, when added to soil, can improve the soil's mechanical properties while also sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) from the surrounding environment. The originality of this paper stems from the novel two-stage approach. In the first stage, natural carbonation o...
