Abstract

Abstract Single-stage mineral carbonation is undertaken at relatively high pressures (up to 18 MPa) and high temperatures (up to 185 °C), where in contrast, two-stage mineral carbonation operates at low pressures ( Multi-stage grinding was investigated in an effort to obtain a higher level of Mg extraction. However, it was observed that the average particle size of the ground product increased during the second stage of multi-stage grinding. It is suggested this increase in the average particle size limited the extent of extraction during the second phase of grinding. The particle size increase was determined to be due to the agglomeration of fines and subsequently polyacrylic acid, a commercially available grinding media aid was applied in order to reduce the extent of agglomeration.
