UM6P CEDOC- GSMI : CO2 mineralization in mining and industrial waste

Mohammed VI Polytechnic University is an institution dedicated to research and innovation in Africa and aims to position itself among world-renowned universities in its fields

The University is engaged in economic and human development and puts research and innovation at the forefront of African development. A mechanism that enables it to consolidate Morocco's frontline position in these fields, in a unique partnership-based approach and boosting skills training relevant for the future of Africa.

Located in the municipality of Benguerir, in the very heart of the Green City, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University aspires to leave its mark nationally, continentally, and globally.

This project deals with identification and quantification of the potential of mining and industrial waste for CO2 mineralization. The study will involve experimental (lab and field testing) as well as modeling studies, where the selected mineral wastes will be sampled, treated if necessary and then characterized at small-scale facilities. The ones with high potential will be studied using a multicriterial assessment approach to identify the ones with the highest potential for scaleup. Finally, a technical-economical evaluation will be realized.
