First steps (materials and space aquisition)
Hello everyone, thank you so much for providing me with the opportunity to conduct this experiment!Now that the funds have been collected, I am beginning to purchase the necessary materials (i.e. p...

Specific measurements and their purposes
During experimental production, the pH and alkalinity of the growth solution will be monitored and used to approximate the carbonate system parameters in order to assess the CO2 absorption/release ...

These are things we hope to quantify through our experiment which would be done in an isolated, simulated-seawater environment in order to avoid any such risks and allow for regular sampling to monitor the reaction products.

In some informal discussions, Thomas Goreau talks about how its possible that under the generation of brucite, due to high pH at the cathode, the main reactions would be:
Mg++ + 2OH- = Mg(OH)2
Ca++ + CO3-- = CaCO3
OH- + HCO3- = CO3-- + H2O
2H2O + 2Cl- = H2 + Cl2 + 2OH- instead of H2O + Cl- = 2H+ ...more

Hi Paul!
There is some discussion that theorizes that by selectively producing brucite, the generation of hydrogen ions responsible for carbon emission can be limited and the overall process becomes carbon negative. To my knowledge, there is little to no exploration into this and so my aim is to...more
