This
paper mainly aims at 10 tailings in two typical ultrabasic rock belts (Donghai-Rizhao rock
belt and Chicheng-Chaoyang rock belt) of East China, and analyzes
mineral components, size distributions and major elements of tailing samples.
Then a comprehensive evaluation about the carbon sequestration potential is
taken for these mafic tailings in the two rock belts based on analysis results.
Considering chemical composition, specific surface area, the tailings resources
and other factors comprehensively, mafic tailings in Chicheng-Chaoyang rock
belt has the large carbon sequestration potential and can be served as one of
the most promising storage sites for carbon sequestration.
