“…CO 2 emission is mainly generated by burning fossil fuels, transport and a wide range of other industrial activities [1]. It is extremely important though, that companies minimize their impact on the environment through activities such as, for example, using energy-saving solutions and recyclable waste [3] CO 2 limitations can be introduced by, among others, the use of renewable energy sources or nuclear power, reforestation or implementation carbon sequestration process in geological structures [11,14].…”

“…The salt caverns have been used for gas storage for several decades in Europe and America (Bauer et al 2013;Brown et al 2014;Dethlefsen et al 2014). Gas storage in Germany has a history of more than 35 years, and more than 10 6 m 3 volume of storage has been designed and constructed (Lux 2009).…”

Based on uniaxial and triaxial compression experiments, the yield, dilatancy and failure behaviors of the Jianghan rock salts were investigated. Accurate description of the yield and failure behaviors is helpful to reduce the space between storage caverns and offer more storage in a salt mine of limited extent. The experimental results showed that the yield function is a straight line and thus the Tresca yield criterion can be used to describe the yield behavior of the tested rock salt. The second invariant of the plastic strain was used as the hardening parameter to analyze the hardening behavior of the rock salt. The result shows that the rock salt is an isotropic hardening material. From the perspective of yielding, the rock salt acts like metals, while from the perspective of failure it acts like rocks. The dilatancy boundary was estimated in each experiment by determining the volume turnover point from compression to dilatation. It is found that the dilatancy boundary for the Jianghan rock salt is different from the results in the previous studies, especially under high stresses. Shear and splitting failures were observed in the compression tests. Splitting failure was analyzed based on the elastic theory for thick cylinders. The results indicate that failure depends on confining pressure. When the confining pressure is equal or greater than 5 MPa, the rock salt never breaks, even when the axial strain reaches 20 %. A no-broken condition was imported into the Mohr-Coulomb criterion. Based on the yield-dilatancy-failure model, the rock surrounding an underground gas storage (UGS) is divided into four zones: elastic, plastic, permeability and failure zone. A new stability criterion based on the partitions is proposed. The constitutive model was modified and the state parameters were self-defined in FLAC 3D . A geologic model for the Jianghan UGS was constructed to provide an example of the stability evaluation based on the partitions of the surrounding rock. The minimum internal pressure in emergency was also discussed for the Jianghan UGS.

“…As shown in the latest surveys, there is much interest in the method of CO 2 capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) which has been considered one of the most useful means to control the level of rising global CO 2 (Bachu 2008;Hou et al 2012;Yang et al 2012;Mitiku and Bauer 2013;Brown et al 2014;Bai et al 2015;Liu et al 2015a, b). Under this circumstance, storing CO 2 in underground unminable coal seams can keep CO 2 in its stable state and increase the output of methane, as trialed in some countries (Damen et al 2005;Hu et al 2010).…”

Effect of water on carbonation of mineral aerosol surface models of kaolinite: a density functional theory study

et al. 2015

Gas-solid interfacial phenomena always play a significant role in the multiphase process in atmospheric chemistry. The mineral aerosols have desirable interfacial reactivity on the carbonation of kaolinite. In addition, carbonation of kaolinite may play a role in carbon dioxide capture. It is not well-known about the mechanisms of this reaction. In this paper, the carbonation of kaolinite cluster models with or without water on the atomic scale is studied. We simulate the corresponding reaction paths and accurately calculate the transition states with the homologous enthalpies via using the density functional theory (DFT) method. The study shows that the reaction barriers are lowered down seriously with the existence of water. In addition, water can help stabilize the reaction regions thereby firming the structure of carbonated product.
