I like "carbon mineralization" a lot more than "enhanced weathering". And the article also mentions the distinction nowadays between "carbon dioxide removal" and "carbon capture and storage". Thanks for the updates, on terminology and otherwise.

I think mineralization is simply a broader category and enhanced weathering approaches are using the crushed rock directly. There are also mineralization methods that are based on electrochemical techniques using seawater as the mineral source, and sometimes using crushed rock for the mineral source (but not directly as the CO2 adsorbent).
