The effect of heterogeneity of diffusion parameters on chloride transport in low-permeability argillites

Understanding flow and transport in low-permeability media is very important in the context of nuclear waste disposal, oil and gas reservoirs and long term evolution of groundwater systems. In low-permeability media, transport by diffusion is often the most important mass transport process. This study investigates the effect of the heterogeneity of diffusion parameters on mass transport in low-permeability media. A geostatistical approach for integrating heterogeneity of diffusion parameters in groundwater flow and transport models is proposed and applied to the Toarcian argillites in France which are studied in the framework of feasibility of storing radioactive waste in deep clayey massifs. Stochastic fields of the diffusion parameters of the Toarcian argillites (France) are generated based on 64 measured values of diffusion coefficient and diffusion accessible porosity and used as input for a 3D local-scale groundwater flow and transport model. The chloride concentrations computed by these heterogeneous models are compared to the measured chloride concentrations and to concentrations calculated with a model in which the Toarcian argillites are subdivided into several homogeneous zones. The heterogeneous simulations result in a slightly better correspondence between measured and calculated values and have the additional advantage that the measured diffusion coefficient values in the Toarcian are perfectly honored in the model. This study shows that small-scale variability of diffusion parameters has a significant effect on solute concentrations and omitting this heterogeneity may be a problem in transport calculations in low-permeability media, depending on the specific setting and objectives of the study.

Active and passive measurements of radon diffusion coefficient from building construction materials

The gaseous state and chemical inert behavior of radon make it important tracer for the radon transport study through the building materials. The radon resistant property of building construction materials is important parameter to control the indoor radon levels in living and workplaces. The materials with higher radium content can be made less severe by the use of some building materials of low diffusion coefficient and diffusion length. This makes the study of radon diffusion through building material more important along with the study of exhalation and radioactivity content. Keeping this in mind the radon diffusion study was carried out through different building construction materials used for wall and floor by active and passive techniques. The diffusion coefficient from these building materials measured by passive methods varied from (0.9 ± 0.5) × 10^?7 to (22.95 ± 13.19) × 10^?6 m²s^?1 and radon diffusion length varied from 0.21 to 3.31 m for cement, soil, sand, wall putty and plaster of Paris (POP) etc. The radon diffusion coefficient measured by active technique varied from 1.93 × 10^?10 to 1.36 × 10^?7 m²s^?1 for samples with definite geometry like paper, polyethylene, marble, granite etc. The radon diffusion coefficient and diffusion length depend upon the porosity and density of materials for powder samples.     

Magnetic–hydrophobic coagulation of paramagnetic minerals: a correlation of theory with experiments

A simple theoretical model of magnetic–hydrophobic coagulation considering the total interaction potential energy between two spheres exposed to an external magnetic field as a sum of the van der Waals, electrostatic, magnetic, and hydrophobic components is proposed. The model was used to interpret experiments on coagulation of fine siderite particles in distilled water and 10⁻² M KCl, hydrophobized by sodium oleate. In the experiments, a relative extent of the coagulation/stability equilibrium of the siderite suspension was evaluated photoelectrically. To estimate the model parameters, the ζ-potential and hydrophobicity of siderite particles were measured.A qualitative agreement was obtained between the model predictions (energy maximum and secondary minimum) and the experimental results (voltage changes after a selected interval of sedimentation) of the siderite suspensions. Moreover, a statistically significant correlation was found between the experimental voltages and the calculated energy maximum (a crucial factor of theories on the fine particle coagulation kinetics), which can be represented by a linear regression equation with the correlation coefficient of 0.979.

铀矿找矿中氡的迁移机制探讨

本文主要介绍铀矿勘查中氡的迁移机制。通过对自行设计的氡迁移模型长达３个月的试验研究（与理论计算值进行比较）和选择一条经深部揭露的地段（多个矿体埋深为已知）进行地表多种氡法测量，证明只用扩散理论是不可能完满解释为什么氡法能够探测到深达二三百米的铀矿体。从广义角度提出了氡的迁移机制主要是“接力传递”作用。     

泡沫压裂液添加剂对煤层甲烷扩散影响的分子模拟

利用分子模拟软件Materials Studio（MS）建立了一定温度、压力条件下,考虑含水煤层、泡沫压裂液起泡剂、稳泡剂相互作用的狭缝孔分子模拟模型。基于分子扩散理论计算并评价了分别在常见的4种起泡剂以及4种稳泡剂影响下的甲烷分子扩散能力大小。结果表明,与原始含水煤层相比,加入起泡剂十二烷基磺酸钠、十二烷基硫酸钠、十二烷基苯磺酸钠和甜菜碱后,甲烷自扩散系数分别降低了71.3%、74.7%、56.3%和54.0%。相比于仅加入起泡剂（十二烷基苯磺酸钠）的情况下,加入稳泡剂聚丙烯酰胺、聚乙烯醇、聚乙二醇和羧甲基纤维素后,甲烷自扩散系数分别降低了63.2%、57.9%、55.3%和71.1%。据此可知,起泡剂是降低含水煤层中甲烷扩散能力的主要因素,而稳泡剂的使用会进一步降低甲烷扩散能力。在起泡剂和稳泡剂的共同影响下,甲烷自扩散系数降低超过了80%,这对煤层气产出极为不利。建议在保证泡沫压裂液泡沫性能前提下,通过优化起泡剂分子结构、减少用量以减小起泡剂和稳泡剂对甲烷扩散的影响,并尽量避免使用大分子稳泡剂。

扩散是低渗透系数情况下溶质迁移的主要方式,目前尚没有测定高塌落度防渗墙填料扩散系数的试验方法。根据沥出试验原理,将处于流动状态的填料用半透膜包裹进行透析试验,通过有限圆柱中溶质迁移解析解对溶质迁移过程进行拟合求其扩散系数,探讨了试验和数据处理的相关问题,研究了膨润土含量和盐浴浓度对扩散系数的影响规律。结果表明,随拟合天数增加,填料中NaCl有效扩散系数减小,而误差增大;高塌落度填料中溶质迁移明显比压实土样中快,按拟合误差小于0.5%作为试验数据取舍依据,这一误差要求实际上是对溶质迁移以扩散为主导这一条件的量化,保证了采用纯扩散解析解进行数据拟合的合理性;扩散系数随填料中膨润土含量增加而减小,随盐浴浓度增加而减小,但在试验范围内数值变化不大,透析试验是快速测定防渗墙填料中溶质有效扩散系数的可行方法。     

基于数值模拟的劈裂注浆浆液扩散范围分析

地面高压超前区域注浆已成为煤矿水害防治的首选工程方法,注浆浆液扩散机理受到普遍关注,且分支孔间距设计多依赖现场经验,具有一定的盲目性,制约着工程效果及效益。基于淮北煤田恒源煤矿注浆现场实际工况,利用COMSOL Multiphysics软件,开展地面定向钻煤层底板区域高压注浆浆液扩散数值模拟研究及浆液扩散影响因素分析,探讨地面高压注浆浆液扩散机理。结果如下：(1) 煤层底板石炭系太原组第三薄层灰岩(简称三灰)裂隙发育,通过模拟发现,8~12 MPa高压注浆时很可能发生劈裂作用,期间渗透系数增大4~5个数量级。(2) 不考虑重力影响时,以分支孔为中心,浆液向周边扩散距离相等,且在分支孔附近,浆液浓度较大,体积分数达20%以上;考虑重力作用时,水平向浆液扩散范围相对增大,垂向上浆液主要向下扩散,表现为“上短下长”。(3) 浆液扩散模拟得出,扩散范围为41.2 m;浆液扩散范围现场实测显示,扩散范围为38.3~44.0 m,浆液扩散现场实测验证了扩散模型的正确性。(4) 浆液扩散范围与浆液相对密度、静水压力、浆液动力黏度、浆液屈服强度及孔隙率呈负相关,与裂隙隙宽、渗透系数呈正相关。其中浆液相对密度越小,其扩散范围响应越明显;随动力黏度增加,扩散范围减小得越来越慢。研究成果可为煤系底板水害区域注浆治理工程合理设计提供参考,具有较好的参考应用价值。

     

大型浅水湖泊水动力模型不确定性和敏感性分析

选取国内外常用的水动力学模型(EFDC)和典型的浅水湖泊(太湖),采用拉丁超立方取样(LHS),研究湖泊水动力模块中常用的5个重要参数(风拖曳系数、床面粗糙高度、涡粘性系数、紊流扩散系数以及风遮挡系数)对湖体水位和流速的影响。结果表明:针对大型浅水湖泊,湖泊岸线形状和湖底地形、湖泊周围地形、湖泊水面风场对模拟结果产生决定性影响。尤其是在湖湾区和周边地形比较复杂的地区,风场参数对水动力模拟结果不确定性的贡献率最大。在垂向上,表层流速受到参数不确定性的影响最大,底层次之,中层最小。床面粗糙高度对水动力模拟结果不确定性贡献率较风场参数要小,水体涡粘滞系数和扩散系数影响则更小。故在选择大型浅水湖泊水动力模型参数时,要充分考虑湖泊岸线和周围地形,着重率定风场参数以及床面粗糙高度。     

Experimental study of radon production and transport in an analogue for the Martian regolith

The suggestion that radon could be used as a radioactive tracer of regolith-atmosphere exchanges and as a proxy for subsurface water on Mars, as well as its indirect detection in the Martian atmosphere by the rover Opportunity, have raised the need for a better characterization of its production process and transport efficiency in the Martian soil. More specifically, a proper estimation of radon exhalation rate on Mars requires its emanation factor and diffusion length to be determined. The dependence of the emanation factor as a function of pore water content (at 267 and 293 K) and the dependence of the adsorption coefficient on temperature, specific surface area and nature of the carrier gas (He, He + CO₂) have been measured on a Martian soil analogue (Hawaiian palagonitized volcanic ash, JSC Mars-1), whose radiometric analysis has been performed. An estimation of radon diffusion lengths on Mars is provided and is used to derive a global average emanation factor (2-6.5%) that accounts for the exhalation rate inferred from the ²¹⁰Po surface concentration detected on Martian dust and from the ²¹⁴Bi signal measured by the Mars Odyssey Gamma Ray Spectrometer. It is found to be much larger than emanation factors characterizing lunar samples, but lower than the emanation factor of the palagonite samples obtained under dry conditions. This result probably reflects different degrees of aqueous alteration and could indicate that the emanation factor is also affected by the current presence of pore water in the Martian soil. The rationale of the “radon method” as a technique to probe subsurface water on Mars, and its sensitivity to soil parameters are discussed. These experimental data are useful to perform more detailed studies of radon transport in the Martian atmosphere using Global Climate Models and to interpret neutron and gamma data from Mars Odyssey Gamma Ray Spectrometer.

A double medium model for diffusion in fluid-bearing rock

The concept of a double porosity medium to model fluid flow in fractured rock has been applied to model diffusion in rock containing a small amount of a continuous fluid phase that surrounds small volume elements of the solid matrix. The model quantifies the relative role of diffusion in the fluid and solid phases of the rock. The fluid is the fast diffusion path, but the solid contains the volumetrically significant amount of the diffusing species. The double medium model consists of two coupled differential equations. One equation is the diffusion equation for the fluid concentration; it contains a source term for change in the average concentration of the diffusing species in the solid matrix. The second equation represents the assumption that the change in average concentration in a solid element is proportional to the difference between the average concentration in the solid and the concentration in the fluid times the solid-fluid partition coefficient. The double medium model is shown to apply to laboratory data on iron diffusion in fluid-bearing dunite and to measured oxygen isotope ratios at marble-metagranite contacts. In both examples, concentration profiles are calculated for diffusion taking place at constant temperature, where a boundary value changes suddenly and is subsequently held constant. Knowledge of solid diffusivities can set a lower bound to the length of time over which diffusion occurs, but only the product of effective fluid diffusivity and time is constrained for times longer than the characteristic solid diffusion time. The double medium results approach a local, grain-scale equilibrium model for times that are large relative to the time constant for solid diffusion.
