Computer simulations predict dawsonite, NaAlCO(3)(OH)(2), will provide long-term mineral sequestration of anthropogenic CO(2) whereas dawsonite rarely occurs in nature or in laboratory experiments that emulate a carbon repository. Resolving this discrepancy is important to determining the significance of dawsonite mineralization to the long-term security of geologic carbon sequestration. This study is an equilibrium-based experimental and modeling evaluation of underlying causes for inconsistencies between predicted and observed dawsonite stability. Using established hydrothermal methods, 0.05 molal NaHCO(3) aqueous solution and synthetic dawsonite were reacted for 18.7 days (449.2 hours) at 50 degrees C, 20 MPa. Temperature was increased to 75 degrees C …
