09.01.2022 AIG-ALS Technical Talk Tom Jones is presenting a technical talk today at 5pm! the Zoom webinar will be on Carbon sequestration using bacteria in kimberlite tailings. ... The roles of microbes within the mining and environmental industries has increased significantly in recent decades, and with an increasing expectation on these sectors to lower their carbon footprint, biotechnological methods that enhance minerals extraction and processing may provide novel approaches. Understanding microbe-mineral interactions occurring between biofilms and ultra-mafic mine tailings may provide strategies to accelerate mineral bioweathering and microbial carbonate precipitation within mine-scale kimberlite waste rock. Microorganisms have the ability to enhance mineral weathering, impacting the environments they inhabit via the extraction of nutrients from their surroundings. Physiological processes that enhance weathering include the formation of organic and inorganic acids that work to break down minerals, as well as the production of bicarbonate ions, which buffers pH. Kimberlite waste rock deposits provide an excellent natural laboratory to study large-scale weathering, bacteria-mineral interactions, and mineral carbonation reactions that sequester atmospheric CO2. for more information look below: https://mailchi.mp/aig/tech_talk_reminder
