Abstract:Wettability change of rocks under high-pressure CO 2 is analyzed for CO 2 storage assessment. Increased water contact angle (measured by the sessile drop method) with CO 2 pressure on three different rocks is related to CO 2 adsorption on the rocks using complementary experimental results of CO 2 adsorption (by gravimetric measurement) and interfacial tension between water and CO 2 (by the pendant drop method). An analysis of free energy change accompanying CO 2 adsorption on the rock surface shows that adsorb… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
