Design Data for a Mineral Carbonate Plant using Reject Brine and Carbon Dioxide

Mineral carbonates are produced when carbon dioxide reacts with minerals, especially those rich in calcium and magnesium. Although this process can occur naturally, it can be used as a carbon dioxide reduction strategy if reject brine is reacted with carbon dioxide.

This dataset is affiliated with the design of a mineral carbonate plant using reject brine and carbon dioxide which are both produced in the Point Lisas Industrial Estate, in Trinidad and Tobago and is part of the study entitled titled “Filtering ‘3-2’ industrial symbiosis networks at a carbon-intensive cluster in a small island developing state to reuse CO2 and water” (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cherd.2024.10.023). This data was obtained from simulation and calculations which were guided by the availability of the raw materials and the market demand.

This data can further be used in exploring carbon dioxide utilisation strategies, supply chain development and can be potentially used to achieve greater sustainable development in the process industry.
