A new CO2 sequestration approach through indirect wollastonite carbonation is proposed to mitigate anthropogenic CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion. The wollastonite carbonation process includes three steps: (1) dissolution of wollastonite in hydrochloric acid to leach Ca2+ from mineral matrix; (2) reaction of the resulting CaCl2 solution with CO2 in triisooctylamine (TIOA) at low temperature, producing CaCO3 and an amino acid complex; (3) regeneration of the extractant and acid by backextraction through a temperature swing process and recycling to the dissolution and carbonation steps. It was found that the wollastonite dissolution rate was accelerated by hydrochloric acid and a maximum Ca2+ dissolution extent of 95 % was obtained.
