It is a relevant process for several application domains such as the production of inorganic fillers in paint and plastics, metallurgical extraction, and carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS). The reaction is slow and often does not reach complete conversion due to an unfavourable position of the chemical equilibrium. In this project novel routes for this process are investigated, targeting either faster, selective and more complete synthesis of the resulting carbonates (e...
