ENHANCED WEATHERING AND CARBONATATION: USE OF WOLLASTONITE MINERAL TO REDUCE THE ATMOSPHERIC CO2

Prof. Dr. Antonio Nilson Zamunér Filho – UFCAT/FENG Prof. Dr. Antover Panazollo Sarmento – UFCAT/FENG Fernanda Macedo INTRODUCTION Healthy soils provide the largest reserve of terrestrial carbon. When managed irresponsibly or cultivated through unsustainable agricultural practices, the carbon present in the soil can be released into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2), which can contribute to climate change.
