Mineral carbonation refers to the fixation of CO₂ using alkaline and alkaline-earth oxides, such as magnesium oxide (MgO) and calcium oxide (CaO), which are present in naturally occurring silicate rocks such as serpentine and olivine. Chemical reactions between these materials and CO₂ produce compounds such as magnesium carbonate (MgCO₃) and calcium carbonate (CaCO₃, commonly known as limestone).  2, record 7, English, - mineral%20carbonation

Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 OBS

Carbonatation minérale [...] Cette technique consiste à fixer le CO₂ au moyen d’oxydes alcalins et alcalino-terreux, tels l'oxyde de magnésium(MgO) ou l'oxyde de calcium(CaO), que l'on trouve à l'état naturel dans des roches silicatées, par exemple la serpentine et l'olivine. Les réactions chimiques qui surviennent entre ces matières et le CO₂ produisent des composés comme le carbonate de magnésium(MgCO₃) et le carbonate de calcium(CaCO₃, couramment appelé calcaire).  2, record 7, French, - carbonatation%20min%C3%A9rale
