In this research year, reaction pathways and Fe behaviors during water-olivine-CO2 reactions under different reaction conditions were further summarized and published in the conferences of "17th ICCDU (Germany, 2019)" and 日本地球惑星科学連合大会(2019).
The influences of the most common coexisting minerals (i.e., pyroxenes and spinel) with olivine in peridotite in natural system were clarified. The presence of orthopyroxene or Mg-Al spinel can accelerate olivine alteration in CO2-rich hydrothermal environments and change Fe(II) behaviors without significant influence on the total H2 yield in terms of long-time reaction. However, the mineralization of CO2 could not be enhanced. The role of orthopyroxene and Mg-Al spinel also changed with the reaction time. These findings suggest that using peridotite that contains pyroxenes or spinels for H2 production is also possible; in general, peridotite contains <20 wt% orthopyroxene or >10 wt% Mg-Al spinel is more suitable for H2 production than monomineralic olivine. For another, several ways for elevating H2 production (e.g., including Al sources) were also suggested.
This part of research is a step forward in large-scale application of the new negative-carbon H2 production system. The results have been summarized into 2 papers published in the journal of “International Journal of Hydrogen energy (IF: 4.229)”.
