This project has 2 research lines:

• Structural stability of CO2 and carbonates under pressure and temperature conditions of the Earth’s interior. The behavior of carbonate minerals under pressure will also account for the importance of chemical substitution in compositionally complex systems, such as those existing in the Earth’s interior. Implications in geophysics.

• High pressure and high temperature carbon dioxide chemistry. This line includes both (i) the study of the reactivity between carbon dioxide and metals and (ii) obtaining data in adsorption processes of CO2 in zeolites (number and location of adsorbed CO2 molecules, and the nature of the trapping). Implications for CO2 capture and storage.
