This study investigates the integration of nickel (Ni) into calcium oxide (CaO) sorbents to enhance CO<sub>2</sub> capture efficiency by leveraging Ni's catalytic properties to optimize carbonation kinetics. Aspen Plus simulations were employed to evaluate the effects of varying Ni concentrations (5–25 wt%) on reaction rates, activation energy, and carbonation efficiency. The results revealed that adding Ni considerably reduced the activation energy from 178 kJ/mol (pure CaO) to 70–90 kJ/mol. The maximum catalytic efficiency was achieved at 20 wt% Ni. At this concentration, the rate of the carbonation reaction increased exponentially, leading to considerable improvements in CO<sub>2</sub> collection and CaCO<sub>3</sub> formation rates. Sensitivity analysis identified key operational parameters, such as temperature, CO<sub>2</sub> partial pressure, and flow rates, for improving process optimization in industrial settings. In comparison to typical CaO-based sorbents, Ni–CaO blends demonstrated higher catalytic efficiency and lower energy needs, addressing key challenges in CCS systems. This work distinguishes itself from previous CaO stability studies by integrating process optimization and kinetic modeling, resulting in practical insights for the development of energy-efficient CO<sub>2</sub> capture technologies.

The bauxite ore is digested with sodium hydroxide to form sodium aluminate using Bayer's process, leaving behind a highly alkaline residue known as red mud. This residue is a well-suited feedstock material for CO<sub>2</sub> capture processes and its subsequent neutralization. This article discusses the fundamentals of red mud and various pathways for carbonation.

This article reviews the mechanism and critically evaluates the process variables that influence the adsorption of CO<sub>2</sub> in red mud. It also provides insight into recent activation methods to improve its capacity. It then discusses the associated post-carbonation challenges with red mud, concluding that further research is needed in reshaping red mud's perception from industrial waste to a valuable feedstock material for key carbon-emitting industries.

Although capillary and solubility trapping have been widely studied, the role of reservoir wettability in governing geochemical interactions remains poorly understood, particularly in reactive carbonate systems. This study investigates how contrasting wetting states influence multiphase flow and mineralization in carbonate saline aquifers. Reactive transport simulations were conducted using a compositional simulator under water- and CO<sub>2</sub>-wet conditions over a 60-year period. The model incorporates hysteresis in relative permeability, capillary pressure variation, and calcite reaction kinetics to evaluate the evolution of capillary, solubility, and mineral trapping mechanisms. Results show that wettability strongly affects both phase distribution and geochemical reactivity. Under CO<sub>2</sub>-wet conditions, mineral trapping more than doubled compared to the water-wet case (6.5% vs. 2.8%) due to enhanced gas–rock contact and sustained local acidification. Solubility trapping also increased markedly (38.3% vs. 20.9%), facilitated by continuous CO<sub>2</sub> pathways that improved convective mass transfer. However, capillary trapping was significantly lower, resulting in reduced total retention (63.5%) compared to the water-wet scenario (84.9%), where capillary forces immobilized more CO<sub>2</sub> but restricted mineralization. This analysis demonstrates that wettability directly influences geochemical reactions by controlling CO<sub>2</sub> access to mineral surfaces and shaping local pH conditions.
