Magnesium carbonate hardly precipitate at room temperature as anhydrous mineral (magnesite), rather hydrated phases use to form (hydroxyl carbonates, e.g. hydromagnesite). These phases have high variability in the stoichiometry, but in general the atomic ratio (Mg:C) is never 1:1 as for MgCO3. Do you know which Mg-bearing carbonate phase will form as the most abundant product? The stoichiometry of the product phase could significantly reduce the maximum CO2 sequestration capacity expected for the mining wastes (unless the total Mg content of the substrate is not offset taking into account the stoichiometry of the Mg-bearing product).
