I have purchased a $15 short Udemy course on the very basics of DWSIM.
DWSIM is an open-source process simulation software designed for chemical and petrochemical processes. It provides engineers, students, and researchers with a comprehensive tool for modeling, simulating, and optimizing various chemical processes. DWSIM supports a wide array of thermodynamic models, unit operations, chemical components, and reaction kinetics, making it versatile for process design, analysis, and educational purposes.
I am also taking a 5-week course on PHREEQC and PHAST with use of python as well.
I can use all to do CO2 Mineralization, CO2 chemistry, etc. Still, in the next year, I plan to learn chemical engineering numerical methods with the help of MATLAB.
In the end, about a year and a half, I hope to have all the software down, be able to do DAC with absorption, adsorption, and in-situ CO2 mineralization in subterranean scenarios.
All but MATLAB will be free. Then, I just have to find data.

Instead of MATLAB you can use Octave, which is free. It basically has the same programming language as MATLAB, so you can do the same things.
I should check out Octave again.
There are also sites like octave-online.net (and others) where you can just copy/paste your program without installing anything on your computer. I had some MATLAB code and it ran perfectly.
