🪨 Olivine Carbonation: Shrinking-Core Conversion and CO2 Uptake (2D)

Cross-section of one olivine grain turning into carbonate while CO2 dissolved in water reaches it through a growing ash layer. Change the grain radius, the reactor temperature, the CO2 pressure and the ash diffusivity to see which of the three resistances, the film, the ash layer or the surface reaction, controls the time to convert, and how many kilograms of CO2 a tonne of rock can bind. Rate law, stoichiometry and scaling laws are checked numerically, with four in-page numerical checks.
