Misty CO₂™: a Clean, Safe and Inexpensive Way to Generate Acid at Mine Sites Using Carbon Capture

January 6, 2025 

Misty CO₂ harnesses the power of carbon capture technology by capturing CO₂ emissions from diesel or natural gas generators to form carbonic acid to lower the pH of treated water to near-neutral levels, without the use of expensive and hazardous chemicals. 

By replacing traditional acids (hydrochloric or sulphuric) used in pH neutralization, Misty CO₂ brings many benefits to mines:

• Reduces operating costs
• Helps avoid significant risks of dosing excess acid, transporting hazardous chemicals, and worker safety during chemical handling. 
• Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by utilizing and permanently capturing CO₂
• Generates carbon capture credits.

Check out our short video showcasing the Misty CO₂ system: 

Misty CO2 results in substantial savings of operating costs at remote mine sites, whether serviced by grid power or where energy is generated on site. By replacing the use of concentrated acid, Misty CO2 eliminates the need to transport, handle, and dose concentrated acids, reducing safety risks, lowering transportation costs, and simplifying logistics for remote mine operations.

One of Misty's key advantages is its modular and transportable design; each system can be tailored to specific requirements depending on the mine water flow rate and desired pH adjustment.
