Mineral carbonation is a potential technology for CO2 sequestration. Because of the lack of reaction kinetics parameters, the theoretical and thermodynamical analysis of mineral carbonation can help to understand the process of carbonation reaction and to determine the temperature and pressure ranges in which the reaction happens. Investigating from a view of thermodynamics, the results show that CO2 could react with several minerals, producing carbonate and silicon dioxide. Compared with dry carbonation, the wet method has a higher reaction rate and consumes less energy. The dissolution of silicate is related to the concentration of HCO3^- in the solution. Adding some hydrocarbonate before the reaction happens could promote the dissolution of the silicate used. To mineral carbonation for CO2 sequestration, wollastonite is better than serpentine, and serpentine better than forsterite. Thermodynamically, the mineral carbonation reaction could be implemented under higher pressure when the reaction temperature is lower than 500 K.
