Impacts of Nickel Nanoparticles on Mineral Carbonation

Table 4

Average particle size diameters, expressed as volume moment mean diameter (𝐷[4,3]) and surface area moment mean diameter (𝐷[3,2]) of alkaline materials after one-hour carbonation experiments (S/L = 50 g/L), under mechanical mixing, with/without NiNP addition, determined by LD (all values expressed in µm).

Carbonated material	𝐷[4,3]	𝐷[4,3]	𝐷[3,2]	𝐷[3,2]
	No NiNP	+NiNP	No NiNP	+NiNP
CaO	10.8	10.2	1.3	1.1
MgO	22.3	26.1	10.8	11.6
