The water treatment facilities worldwide "would remove hydrochloric acid from the ocean by electrolysis and neutralize the acid through reactions with silicate minerals or rocks," according to a statement from the American Chemical Society. "The reaction increases the alkalinity of the ocean and its ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The process is similar to the natural weathering reactions that occur among silicate rocks but works at a much faster rate."
But I have to ask again. How much of these rocks are available? It would want to be a lot!
