Small amounts of carbonate minerals have also been found on asteroids, including the near-Earth asteroid Bennu and the dwarf planet Ceres.

在小行星上也发现了少量的碳酸盐矿物，包括近地小行星本努和矮行星谷神星。

The asteroid also appears to have large stores of carbonate minerals.

这颗小行星似乎还蕴藏着大量碳酸盐矿物。

Or will they be helpful because they'll help convert this stuff to solid carbonate minerals?

或者它们会有所帮助，因为它们会帮助将这些物质转化为固体碳酸盐矿物吗？

This 5 percent solution of hydrochloric acid is changing the mass of this carbonate mineral by negative one billionth grams per minute.

这种 5% 的盐酸溶液每分钟将这种碳酸盐矿物的质量改变负十亿分之一克。

These microbes and the chemical processes that were happening around them were converting this carbon dioxide into carbonate mineral and locking it up underground.

这些微生物和它们周围发生的化学过程正在将这种二氧化碳转化为碳酸盐矿物并将其锁定在地下。
