Abstract This study investigates the carbon capture potential of dolomite, gypsum, and limonite, focusing on their ability to sequester dioxide (CO2) through mineral carbonation under atmospheric conditions. The research examines how different aqueous environments influence uptake, with particular emphasis role water composition in enhancing reactivity. Three experimental scenarios were applied: (1) dry heating, (2) wet heating distilled water, (3) formation containing high total dissolved solids (TDS) from hydraulic fracturing activities Permian Basin. To quantify uptake transformations, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) combined differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used monitor thermal reactions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) employed analyze surface changes elemental before after CO2 exposure, providing detailed insights into processes. results revealed that limonite exhibited highest across all conditions, particularly presence an phase. Limonite demonstrated superior reactivity compared dolomite gypsum when exposed it surpassed Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Dolomite also showed enhanced while minimal both Additionally, this established necessity integrated analytical approach for evaluating mineral-based capture. Given primarily occurs surfaces, Diffraction (XRD) found be inadequate detecting newly formed carbonate phases. Instead, a combination SEM-EDS, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), TGA/DSC provided more comprehensive assessment formation. These findings highlight significance optimizing reactions demonstrate variability provides valuable as candidates capture, contributing development effective sustainable storage technologies.
