Mineal Nucleation and Growth Kinetics: Generating a general, fundemental model by integrating atomic, macro- and field-scale investigations (MIN-GRO)
Basic data for this project
Type of project: EU-project hosted outside University of Münster
Duration at the University of Münster: 27/11/2006 - 31/12/2010
Description
This Training Network involves both post-doctoral and doctoral researchers in the study of mainly carbonate-fluid systems. The investigations of carbonate minerals will help us better understand how crystal nucleation and growth are modelled, and will provide basic knowledge to support technological advances in the areas including CO2 sequestration, groundwater treatment, waste management and storage, enhanced oil recovery from chalk reservoirsand the manufacture of more functional materials for paper, paint, pigment, and pharmaceuticals.
