AbstractStorage of CO2 as solid Ca, Mg, and Fe carbonates in basaltic rocks may provide a long-lasting solution for reduction of industrial CO2 emissions. Here, we report on the underground stratigraphy of the chemical composition and crystallinity of rocks and their alteration state at a targeted field site for injection of CO2-charged waters, the Hellisheidi area in SW Iceland.

SummaryTertiary alkali basaltic rocks from the Southern Highlands, New South Wales, contain two types of clinopyroxene crystals, which exhibit excellent morphological development of hour-glass zoning. These are small, quench clinopyroxene crystals and large, abundant, euhedral phenocrysts. Electron microprobe analyses show that the different zone sectors derive from compositional differences, with variation in TiO2 and Al2O3 contents inversely with SiO2 content being most significant. Increased depth of colour of titanaugites depends on increased coupled substitution of Al for Si in tetrahedral sites and of Ti3− in an M1 site, while pleochroism is enhanced by increasing Fe content. It is suggested that the formation of hour-glass zoning is determined by an environment of crystallization where initial crystal growth is rapid relative to ionic diffusion in the melt, resulting in different chemistry for different growth directions within the crystal. This implies that, under certain conditions, kinetic factors, as well as the chemical composition of the host magma, may be significant in determining the chemical composition of phases precipitated, particularly where more than one crystallographic direction of growth is possible.
