- a volume of CO 2 charged water e.g., produced as described above, is subjected to carbonate compound precipitation conditions sufficient to produce a precipitated carbonate compound composition and an alkaline-earth metal depleted water, which in the context of the precipitation step may be viewed as the mother liquor (i.e., the part of the water that is left over after precipitation of the carbonate compound composition from the water).
- Any convenient precipitation conditions may be employed, which conditions result in the production of a carbonate-containing solid or precipitate from the CO 2 charged water.
- Precipitation conditions of interest include those that modulate the physical environment of the CO 2 charged water to produce the desired precipitate product.

- slag is employed as a pH modifying agent, e.g., to increase the pH of the CO 2 charged water.
- the slag may be used as a as the sole pH modifier or in conjunction with one or more additional pH modifiers.
- Slag is generated from the processing of metals, and may contain calcium and magnesium oxides as well as iron, silicon and aluminum compounds.

- the addition of serpentine also releases silica and magnesium into the solution, leading to the formation of silica containing carbonate compounds.
- the amount of pH elevating agent that is added to the water will depend on the particular nature of the agent and the volume of water being modified, and will be sufficient to raise the pH of the water to the desired value. Alternatively, the pH of the water can be raised to the desired level by electrolysis of the water.
- electrolysis a variety of different protocols may be taken, such as use of the Mercury cell process (also called the Castner-Kellner process); the Diaphragm cell process and the membrane cell process.
- byproducts of the hydrolysis product e.g., H 2 , sodium metal, etc. may be harvested and employed for other purposes, as desired.
- the pH level of the carbonate precipitation supernatant is increased via electrolysis and then returned to the reaction vessel along with seawater or desalination brine to participate in further carbonate precipitation.

- Other additives beside lathanum that are of interest include, but are not limited to transition metals and the like. For instance, the addition of ferrous or ferric iron is known to favor the formation of disordered dolomite (protodolomite) where it would not form otherwise.
- additives are employed which favor the formal of precipitates characterized by larger sized particles, e.g., particles ranging in size from 50 to 1000 ⁇ m, such as 100 to 500 ⁇ m, and/or of an amorphous nature.

- the amount of such transition metal catalysts, when employed, may vary, ranging in certain embodiments fromi O ppb to 2000 ppm, such as 100 ppb to 500ppm.
- Inclusions of such additives may be employed to provide for amorphous products where otherwise crystalline products are obtained without such additives and/or to obtain larger particle sizes in the precipitate as compared to precipitates produced in the absence of such additives.
- the nature of the precipitate can also be influenced by selection of appropriate major ion ratios.
- Major ion ratios also have considerable influence of polymorph formation. For example, as the magnesiunrcalcium ratio in the water increases, aragonite becomes the favored polymorph of calcium carbonate over low- magnesium calcite. At low magnesiunrcalcium ratios, low-magnesium calcite is the preferred polymorph.
- Rate of precipitation can also be modulated to control the nature of the compound phase formation.
- the most rapid precipitation can be achieved by seeding the solution with a desired phase. Without seeding, rapid precipitation can be achieved by rapidly increasing the pH of the sea water, which results in more amorphous constituents.
- silica When silica is present, the more rapid the reaction rate, the more silica is incorporated with the carbonate precipitate. The higher the pH is, the more rapid the precipitation is and the more amorphous the precipitate is.
- the rate of precipitation is chosen to produce large aragonite crystals of higher purity, e.g., crystals of agglomerated structures ranging from 20 to 50 ⁇ m, made up of individual structures ranging from 10 to 15 ⁇ m, e.g., as described in Example II, below.
- a set of precipitation conditions to produce a desired precipitate from a water include, in certain embodiments, the water's temperature and pH, and in some instances the concentrations of additives and ionic species in the water. Precipitation conditions may also include factors such as mixing rate, forms of agitation such as ultrasonics, and the presence of seed crystals, catalysts, membranes, or substrates. In some embodiments, precipitation conditions include supersaturated conditions, temperature, pH, and/or concentration gradients, or cycling or changing any of these parameters.
- the protocols employed to prepare carbonate compound precipitates according to the invention may be batch or continuous protocols. It will be appreciated that precipitation conditions may be different to produce a given precipitate in a continuous flow system compared to a batch system.
- the resultant precipitated carbonate compound composition is separated from the mother liquor to produce a product water, e.g., alkaline-earth-metal-depleted water that can be used for feedwater for desalination or treated brine.
- a product water e.g., alkaline-earth-metal-depleted water that can be used for feedwater for desalination or treated brine.
- Separation of the precipitate from the product water can be achieved using any convenient approach, including a mechanical approach, e.g., where bulk excess water is drained from the precipitate, e.g., either by gravity alone or with the addition of vacuum, mechanical pressing, by filtering the precipitate from the mother liquor to produce a filtrate, etc. Separation of bulk water produces a wet, dewatered precipitate.
- the size of the precipitate particles are controlled to provide for efficient and non-energy intensive filtration, e.g., where precipitated particles are produced having a size ranging from 50 to 1000 ⁇ m, such as 100 to 500 ⁇ m.
- the size and composition of the precipitated material is controlled to reduce or eliminate the need for high energy mechanical filtration of the feedstock prior to reverse osmosis.
- transition metal catalysts in carbonate and carbonate/silicate precipitation processes, it is possible to attain amorphous precipitates where crystalline structures are typically observed.
- the transition metal catalysts that can be used comprise soluble compounds of Zn, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni or any combination of.
- CoCI 2 or NiCI 2 added at concentration anywhere from 10 ppb to 2000 ppm, including I OOppb to 500ppm, will result in the precipitation of an amorphous structure where a completely crystalline structure would typically be observed.
- the rate of formation of the precipitate is enhanced by the use of these catalysts, resulting in a larger particle size, a more amorphous structure, or a combination thereof.

- Table 3 provides a coulometric analysis of P00099 compared to % C derived from XRD/XRF data
- the P00099 precipitate was blended with ordinary Portland cement (OPC) by hand for approximately two minutes just before mixing the mortar.
- the blended cement comprised 20% (w/w) P00099 and 80% (w/w) OPC. 1. Compressive strengths
- the compressive strength development was determined according to ASTM C109. Mortar cubes of 2" side were used for the compression tests. A replacement level of 20% was investigated for this precipitate and compared to plain Portland type I/I I cement mortars and to Portland type I/I I cement substituted by fly ash F. The water/cement ratio was adjusted to 0.58 to meet the flow criterion of 1 10% +/- 5% (value: 107%).
- the drying shrinkage of mortar bars at a replacement level of 5% and 20% was investigated for the P00099 precipitate following ASTM C596. It was compared to similar bars made with Portland cement type l/ll only or a blend of Portland cement and fly ash F.
- the water/cement ratio was adjusted to 0.50 to meet the flow criterion of 1 10% +/- 5% (value: 107%), and in one set of specimens a Daracem plasticizer was added to achieve a water/cement ratio of 0.45.
- Changes to the ASTM C596 storage conditions were as follows: the relative humidity in the lab is closer to 30-40% than the 50% recommended by ASTM C596, increasing the drying potential. The results are summarized in Table 6 below.
- a gas mixture of 10% CO 2 and 90% air was diffused through the seawater, acidifying the seawater and increasing the dissolved carbon.
- the pH controller was set to automatically add small amounts of NaOH solution, countering the acidifying effects of the gas mixture, to maintain a pH between 9.00 and 9.10.
- NaOH solution were continuously added over a period of about 4 hours, until a total of 12.0 kg of NaOH solution had been added.
- the slurry was vacuum filtered using 11 ⁇ m pore size filter paper.
- the filter cake was dried in a 1 10 Q C oven for 6 hours.
- the dried product was a fine off-white powder.
- SEM showed two major aragonite morphologies present: smaller spikey "stars” and larger "broccoli” shapes, either as individuals or agglomerations.
- Stars were typically 5 ⁇ m in diameter.
- Individual "broccoli” were typically 10 - 15 ⁇ m in length.
- Agglomerated "broccoli” sizes ranged widely, but were in the range of 20-50 ⁇ m in diameter.
- the dried product was a fine off-white powder. Analysis by SEM, EDS, XRD and carbon coulometry indicated that the product was over 99% aragonite (CaCO3). SEM showed that the solid was predominately composed of "broccoli” agglomerations. Agglomerated "broccoli” sizes ranged widely, but were in the range of 20-50 ⁇ m in diameter. III. Control of Precipitate Particle Size with Nickel Catalysis of Carbonate Precipitation
- the above protocol yields 1.14g of Precipitate.
- the resultant precipitate has particle sizes ranging up to 500 ⁇ m (control experiments with no nickel produce particle size ranging from 5-20 ⁇ m), as illustrated in SEM micrographs, shown in
- FIGS. 3A to 3C Fully Amorphous Crystal Structure observed, as illustrated in FTIR
- the particle sizes of the precipitates are generally very fine, and require substantial mechanical filtration to prevent clogging of the reverse osmosis membranes.
- the size and composition of the precipitated material is controlled to reduce or eliminate the need for high energy mechanical filtration of the feedstock prior to reverse osmosis, e.g., by including a transition metal catalyst as described above.
- Precipitate P00144 was prepared according to the same procedure as that employed for the preparation of P00143, described above. Precipitate P00144 was analyzed for Boron content via inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Boron was found to present in the precipitate at an amount of 109 ⁇ g/g. This finding equates to 0.109mg/l_ Boron in ppt (assuming 1 g/L ppt). Noting that there is .00042mol B/ ⁇ L[SW] * 10.8g/mol -> 4.5 mg B/ L in Seawater, it was determined that approximately 2.5% of the B in seawater is being taken in by the ppt.
