Abstract: The invention comprises a product. The product comprises a carbonation aid or a microporous material or a combination thereof and a carbonatable mineral containing one or more of un-carbonated Ca, Mg, Na, K, Fe, wherein the carbonation aid facilitates the conversion of one or more of CaO, MgO, Na2O, K2O or FeO to a carbonate or a CO3 containing mineral in the presence of CO2, wherein the carbonatable mineral has a volume-based mean particle size of less than or equal to 100 ?m and wherein one or more of the carbonation aid or a microporous material or a combination thereof or the carbonatable mineral has carbon dioxide bound thereto at a concentration greater than its atmospheric concentration.

Abstract: The invention comprises a method of making rockwool or mineral wool fiber insulation. The method comprises melting a natural calcium-iron-aluminosilicate mineral from one or more of hyaloclastite, lava, scoria, volcanic glass, volcanic ash, or any other mineral of a basaltic or intermediate chemical composition and spinning the molten product into fibers. The fibers are optionally combined with CO2, a carbonation aid or a carbon dioxide sorbent microporous material.

Abstract: The invention comprises a method of making lime, dolomitic lime, hydraulic cement such as portland cement clinker and co-products such as pozzolan, acids, alumina, silica and the like while producing reduced amounts of carbon dioxide. The method comprises combining hyaloclastite with a first acid to form a first salt, combining the first salt with a second acid to form a second salt and heating the second salt to form an oxide.

Abstract: The invention comprises a method of making a hydraulic cement clinker. The method comprises delivering a natural calcium-iron-aluminosilicate mineral from one or more of hyaloclastite, lava, scoria, volcanic glass, volcanic ash, or any other mineral of a basaltic or intermediate basaltic chemical composition and blending it in ground form with limestone, calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide. The blended mixture is calcined in a portland cement clinker kiln at an elevated temperature and for a time sufficient to form a hydraulic cement clinker.

Abstract: The invention comprises a method of sequestering or otherwise mineralizing carbon dioxide. The method comprises delivering a natural or man-made carbonatable mineral from one or more of hyaloclastite, volcanic glass, volcanic ash, fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag, iron slag, steel slag, a zeolite, or any other mineral with a sufficient quantity of carbonatable elements and/or a high porosity structure, such as zeolite, to a mill capable of fracturing and reducing the particle size of the carbonatable mineral and/or zeolite; processing the carbonatable mineral and/or zeolite in the mill so that the processed carbonatable mineral and/or zeolite has a volume-based mean particle size of less than or equal to 100 ?m; and exposing the carbonatable mineral and/or zeolite to carbon dioxide in gaseous, liquid or solid form during or after the particle reduction process.

Abstract: The invention comprises a method of mineralization of carbon dioxide. The method comprises delivering hyaloclastite, a volcanic glass or pumice to a mill capable of reducing the particle size of the hyaloclastite, a volcanic glass or pumice; processing the hyaloclastite, a volcanic glass or pumice in the mill so that the processed hyaloclastite, a volcanic glass or pumice has a volume-based mean particle size of less than or equal to 40 ?m; and exposing the hyaloclastite, a volcanic glass or pumice to carbon dioxide in gaseous, liquid or solid form during or after the particle reduction process. Optionally a carbon dioxide sorbent or carbonation enhancing agent is added to the hyaloclastite pozzolan or mineral during the grinding or post-grinding process and combined with carbon dioxide during grinding or post grinding.
