Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Accelerated Carbonation for Environmental and Materials Engineering (ACEME 2013)

You have in your hands the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Accelerated Carbonation for Environmental and Materials Engineering - ACEME 2013. This edition followed the three successful previous editions: London (UK) in June 2006, Rome (Italy) in October 2008, and Turku (Finland) in November 2010. The ACEME conferences aim at promoting research and development activities on accelerated carbonation at an international level, favoring knowledge sharing and critically discussing future development and implementation in the field. The objectives of this 4th edition were to communicate and discuss the latest advances in the field of theoretical and applied research on accelerated carbonation of various types of natural materials and industrial residues. Processing conditions, product properties and (on-line) analysis at lab, pilot and full scale were the key focus themes of the conference. The conference also aimed at promoting mineral carbonation in the context of carbon capture and storage (CCS). To that end, experts from research institutions and from industry were invited to present their findings. Ample time was provided for discussion, resulting in a vibrant multidisciplinary meeting. These proceedings represent a snapshot of the meeting. Besides the proceedings, selected papers are to be published in a Special Issue of Minerals Engineering early 2014, for which the Editor-in-Chief, Barry Wills, is thanked.
