Legacy iron (Fe) and steel wastes have been identified as a significant source of silicate minerals, which can undergo carbonation reactions and thus sequester carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). In reactor experiments, i.e., at elevated temperatures, pressures, or CO 2 concentrations, these wastes have high silicate to carbonate conversion rates.
