A comparative review of hydrologic issues involved in geologic storage of CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> and injection disposal of liquid waste 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The paper presents a comparison of hydrologic issues and technical approaches used in deep-well injection and disposal of
liquid wastes, and those issues and approaches associated with injection and storage of CO2 in deep brine formations. These comparisons have been discussed in nine areas: injection well integrity; abandoned well problems;
buoyancy effects; multiphase flow effects; heterogeneity and flow channeling; multilayer isolation effects; caprock effectiveness
and hydromechanics; site characterization and monitoring; effects of CO2 storage on groundwater resources. There are considerable similarities, as well as significant differences. Scientifically
and technically, these two fields can learn much from each other. The discussions presented in this paper should help to focus
on the key scientific issues facing deep injection of fluids. A substantial but by no means exhaustive reference list has
been provided for further studies into the subject. 相似文献

This paper presents simulation results related to coupled thermal–hydraulic–mechanical (THM) processes in engineered barrier systems (EBS) and clay host rock, in one case considering a possible link to geochemistry. This study is part of the US DOE Office of Nuclear Energy’s used fuel disposition campaign, to investigate current modeling capabilities and to identify issues and knowledge gaps associated with coupled THMC processes and EBS–rock interactions associated with repositories hosted in clay rock. In this study, we simulated a generic repository case assuming an EBS design with waste emplacement in horizontal tunnels that are back-filled with bentonite-based swelling clay as a protective buffer and heat load, derived for one type of US reactor spent fuel. We adopted the Barcelona basic model (BBM) for modeling of the geomechanical behavior of the bentonite, using properties corresponding to the FEBEX bentonite, and we used clay host rock properties derived from the Opalinus clay at Mont Terri, Switzerland. We present results related to EBS host–rock interactions and geomechanical performance in general, as well as studies related to peak temperature, buffer resaturation and thermally induced pressurization of host rock pore water, and swelling pressure change owing to variation of chemical composition in the EBS. Our initial THM modeling results show strong THM-driven interactions between the bentonite buffer and the low-permeability host rock. The resaturation of the buffer is delayed as a result of the low rock permeability, and the fluid pressure in the host rock is strongly coupled with the temperature changes, which under certain circumstances could result in a significant increase in pore pressure. Moreover, using the BBM, the bentonite buffer was found to have a rather complex geomechanical behavior that eventually leads to a slightly nonuniform density distribution. Nevertheless, the simulation shows that the swelling of the buffer is functioning to provide an adequate increase in confining stress on the tunnel wall, leading to a stabilization of any failure that may occur during the tunnel excavation. Finally, we describe the application of a possible approach for linking THM processes with chemistry, focusing on the evolution of primary and secondary swelling, in which the secondary swelling is caused by changes in ionic concentration, which in turn is evaluated using a transport simulation model. 相似文献

A critical issue in research concerning long-term climate change is the relationship between circulation features and global temperature variations. We establish that the annual areal size of the northern hemisphere subtropical high pressure belt (SHPB), as defined by seven 500-hPa height isohypses, shares over 70% of the variability with global annual near-surface air temperature since 1948. The area enclosed by the 5850-m isohypse of the 500-hPa surface in the northern hemisphere has more than doubled since the 1950s, with greatest increases over northern Africa, the Middle East and India. A long-term historical run of a coupled global climate model shows rapidly increasing SHPB annual sizes, since the mid-1970s. Since the SHPB’s descending air produces increased aridity, SHPB expansion may transition humid regions to more arid lands. To examine this aspect, first, variations in recorded precipitation using a gridded database for the region experiencing expansion of the SHPB show a decrease in precipitation (though significant only at the 88% confidence level) over the last 60?years. Second, variations in a 0.5° spatial resolution monthly drought index, the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index, are highly correlated (+0.78) with annual variations in the area enclosed by the 500-hPa height isohypses. These results support those of previous investigations that suggest further northward expansion of the northern hemisphere subtropical dry zones with continued global climate change. 相似文献

This paper presents an international, multiple-code, simulation study of coupled thermal, hydrological, and mechanical (THM)
processes and their effect on permeability and fluid flow in fractured rock around heated underground nuclear waste emplacement
drifts. Simulations were conducted considering two types of repository settings (1) open emplacement drifts in relatively
shallow unsaturated volcanic rock, and (2) backfilled emplacement drifts in deeper saturated crystalline rock. The results
showed that for the two assumed repository settings, the dominant mechanism of changes in rock permeability was thermal–mechanically
induced closure (reduced aperture) of vertical fractures, caused by thermal stress resulting from repository-wide heating
of the rock mass. The magnitude of thermal–mechanically induced changes in permeability was more substantial in the case of
an emplacement drift located in a relatively shallow, low-stress environment where the rock is more compliant, allowing more
substantial fracture closure during thermal stressing. However, in both of the assumed repository settings in this study,
the thermal–mechanically induced changes in permeability caused relatively small changes in the flow field, with most changes
occurring in the vicinity of the emplacement drifts. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase activities, reflecting the expression of various subfamilies of P450, were measured in liver samples of harp and hooded seal. Differences in some of the investigated parameters were observed between the two species, between sexes, and between pups and adults. Treatment of single female pups from each species with phenobarbital (i.v. 45 mg/kg), resulted in increased levels of EROD and estradiol 2-hydroxylase activities in both species, whereas MCOD, ECOD and PROD activities were induced only in the harp seal sample. Antibodies against a dog P450 2B form (anti-dog PBD-2 IgG) gave a single band around 52kD in both species, strongest in male pups. This band seemed elevated in the PB-treated harp seal pup. Based on the single treated pup of each species, the results suggest that seals respond to PB-type treatment with a weaker response, and with different enzyme patterns, that most terrestrial mammals. Antibodies against cod P450 IAI cross-reacted with two bands in liver samples from adult seals of both species (about 54 and 52kD), but this was strongest in the hooded seal. The intensity of the bands reflected the EROD activities in the samples, suggesting the application of immunodetection in screening marine mammals for effects of environmental contamination. 相似文献

Biological markers of produced water (PW) exposure were studied in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in both laboratory and field experiments, using authentic PW from a North Sea oil field. In the laboratory study, the PW exposure yielded significantly elevated levels of metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and alkylphenols (APs) in bile even at the lowest exposure dose (0.125% PW). Other biomarkers (hepatic CYP1A induction and DNA adduct formation) responded at 0.25% and 0.5% PW concentrations. In the field study, bile metabolite markers and hepatic CYP1A were clearly increased in fish caged close to the PW outfall. Induction of plasma vitellogenin was not found in laboratory or field exposures, suggesting that the levels of oestrogen agonists (such as APs) might not have been sufficient to elicit induction, under the present conditions. The applicability of the biomarkers for use in water column biomonitoring programs is discussed. 相似文献

This simulation study shows how widely different model approaches can be adapted to model the evolution of the excavation
disturbed zone (EDZ) around a heated nuclear waste emplacement drift in fractured rock. The study includes modeling of coupled
thermal-hydrological-mechanical (THM) processes, with simplified consideration of chemical coupling in terms of time-dependent
strength degradation or subcritical crack growth. The different model approaches applied in this study include boundary element,
finite element, finite difference, particle mechanics, and elasto-plastic cellular automata methods. The simulation results
indicate that thermally induced differential stresses near the top of the emplacement drift may cause progressive failure
and permeability changes during the first 100 years (i.e., after emplacement and drift closure). Moreover, the results indicate
that time-dependent mechanical changes may play only a small role during the first 100 years of increasing temperature and
thermal stress, whereas such time-dependency is insignificant after peak temperature, because of decreasing thermal stress. 相似文献

In order to demonstrate the feasibility of geological disposal of spent CANDU fuel in Canada, a safety assessment was performed
for a hypothetical repository in the Canadian Shield. The assessment shows that the maximum long term radionuclide release
from such repository would meet international criteria for dose rate; however, uncertainties in the assumed evolution of the
repository were identified. Such uncertainties could be resolved by the consideration of coupled Thermal-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical
(THMC) processes. In Task A of the DECOVALEX-THMC project, THM models were developed within the framework of the theory of
poroelasticity. Such model development was performed in an iterative manner, using experimental data from laboratory and field
tests. The models were used to perform near-field simulations of the evolution of the repository in order to address the above-mentioned
uncertainties. This paper presents the definition and rationale of task A and the results of the simulations. From a repository
safety point of view, the simulations predict that the maximum temperature would be well below the design target of 100°C;
however, the stress on the container can marginally exceed the design value of 15 MPa. However, the most important finding
from the simulations is that a rock damage zone could form around the emplacement borehole. Such damage zone can extend a
few metres from the walls of the emplacement holes, with permeability values that are orders of magnitude higher than the
initial values. The damage zone has the potential to increase the radionuclide transport flux from the geosphere; the effect
of such an increase should be taken into account in the safety assessment and mitigated if necessary by the provision of sealing
systems.
