A multi-scale study to unravel the dehydration mechanism of hydrated salts
A. C. Claude, H. Derluyn, J. van de Groep +1
Understanding the dehydration mechanism of hydrated salts remains fundamentally important in solid state chemistry, as their behavior affect fields ranging from heat storage to her…
Self-Enhancing Halite Growth Creates Secondary Porous Networks During CO2 Storage in Saline Aquifers
Mohammad Nooraiepour, Mohammad Masoudi, Hannelore Derluyn +3
Salt precipitation during CO2 injection into saline aquifers obstructs flow-controlling pore throats and reduces permeability, yet reactive transport models assume salt forms dispe…
Assessing salt precipitation and weak acid interaction in subsurface CO2 injection: Potential 50% strength decline in near-wellbore reservoir sandstones
Mohammad Nooraiepour, Krzysztof Polanski, Mohammad Masoudi +6
Predictive modeling of CO2 storage sites requires a detailed understanding of physico-chemical processes and potential challenges for scale-up. Dramatic injectivity decline may occ…
Sol-gel transition by evaporation in porous media
Romane Le Dizès Castell, Leo Pel, Tinhinane Chekai +4
Historical monuments, outdoor stone sculptures and artworks made of porous materials are exposed to chemical and physical degradation over time. Presently, the most promising route…
