Mohammad Rezaee
Higher Degree by Research Candidate
School of Chemical Engineering
Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology
I am a PhD candidate in Chemical Engineering at The University of Adelaide, dedicated to developing sustainable solutions for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) through mineral carbonation of mine tailings and industrial wastes. My research investigates novel methods to convert these abundant by-products into valuable materials for industrial applications, enhancing carbon sequestration technologies and advancing circular economy principles in the mining and heavy industry sectors.
As a Lecturer and Research Assistant, I contribute to projects on CO₂ sequestration and the use of industrial by-products to mitigate emissions. I am passionate about developing scalable, cost-effective technologies that address both environmental and industrial challenges through innovation in carbon management.
Mohammad’s research focuses on Mineral Carbonation for Carbon Capture and Sustainable Material Development.
In this project, he investigates the transformation of mine tailings and industrial by-products into stable carbonates through mineral carbonation, with the dual aim of permanent CO₂ sequestration and the creation of value-added materials.
The core of his work involves studying the reaction mechanisms, kinetics, and process optimization of carbonation pathways, both direct and indirect. He also explores the use of additives and pre-treatment methods to enhance reactivity and conversion efficiency. A significant part of his research evaluates the mechanical and geotechnical properties of carbonated products to assess their potential use as alternative materials in various industrial applications, such as construction and backfilling.
His research interests include:
- Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
- Mineral Carbonation and Waste Valorization
- Sustainable Engineering and Circular Economy
- Multiphase Flow and Geomechanics
- Reservoir Simulation and Characterization
