Anderson, R. G.

Carbonate-altered serpentinite (listwanite) is commonly associated with gold mineralization, but also binds large quantities of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. At Atlin, listwanite alteration progressed through three carbonation reactions that resulted in the same overall mineral transformations as proposed for the industrial sequestration of anthropogenic CO (sub 2) by the process of mineral carbonation. Therefore, alteration of serpentinite to listwanite serves as a natural analogue to CO (sub 2) sequestration. Listwanite alteration is concentrated along faults and two orthogonal fracture sets, and extends tens of metres into the wall rock. One fracture orientation is preferentially mineralized. The carbonation...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
