Accelerated mineral bio-carbonation of coarse residue kimberlite material by inoculation with photosynthetic microbial mats

Thomas Ray Jones et al.

Summary: Microbiological weathering of CRD kimberlite enhanced mineral carbonation. Photosynthetically enriched biofilm cultures mixed with kimberlite showed maximal carbonation conditions. Mineral carbonation also occurred in the dark and under water-saturated conditions. Microbial weathering produced calcium/magnesium carbonates on silicate grain boundaries and calcium/magnesium sulphate(s) under vadose conditions. The presence of bacteria was necessary for mineral carbonation, and the bacterial diversity in weathered kimberlite was consistent with soils and metal cycling.

Historical diamond mine waste reveals carbon sequestration resource in kimberlite residue

T. R. Jones et al.

Summary: Mined sub-aerially stored kimberlite can be a valuable resource for carbon sequestration, as demonstrated by the weathering process that produces extensive secondary carbonates. The examination of the samples from the Cullinan Diamond Mine tailings in South Africa showed that the weathered kimberlite hosts a diverse microbiome consistent with soil and hydrocarbon degradation, indicating its potential for carbon sequestration.
