Ma Pengcheng from the Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry (XTIPC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, introduces basalt fiber fabric (BFF) as a novel and high-performance support ...

Covina, Oct. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Basalt fiber is newcomer to FRPs (fiber reinforced polymers) and structural composites. Basalt fiber has similar chemical composition as glass fiber.

In a recent paper published in Communications Earth & Environment, researchers explored geologic carbon dioxide (CO 2) mineralization in basalt formations, focusing on how complex carbonate phases ...

Carbon mineralization is, essentially, a natural process where CO2 reacts with minerals to form carbonates. Certain types of rock, like basalt, work best, and researchers are working on ways to ...

But, basalt is different. When you put CO2 in the spaces between the rock, it turns into minerals. “Once it's mineralized, the really cool thing is it can't leak. It is a solid rock. It's not ...
