Abstract: We derive exact solution for mineral-dissolution reactive flows in porous media with porosity variations. These conditions are relevant to injection of incompatible liquids into aquifers for disposal or waste storage, rock alteration during well stimulation by acidising or invasion of corrosive, far-from-equilibrium fluids related to ore deposit formation and heap or in situ leaching in mineral processing. Despite the porosity change making the one-dimensional flow equations nonlinear, the problem allows for exact integration, and a novel analytical model is developed. It allows presenting typical curves for breakthrough concentrations and porosity evolution. The exact solution provides a tool for predictive testing of reactive models that account for porosity creation. The analytical model derived exhibits high agreement with laboratory data, which validate the model.

Effect of temperature on mineral reactions and fines migration during low-salinity water injection into Berea sandstone
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of temperature on both fines migration and mineral reactions was investigated using two sets of single-phase injection experiments are performed using Berea sandstone sister plugs, where solutions of NaCl brine were injected at a constant temperature of 25°C, 50°C or 70°C.

TL;DR: In this paper, a trust region approach for minimizing nonlinear functions subject to simple bounds is proposed, where the trust region is defined by minimizing a quadratic function subject only to an ellipsoidal constraint and the iterates generated by these methods are always strictly feasible.

Mineral replacement reactions: from macroscopic observations to microscopic mechanisms
TL;DR: In this article, the role of volume change and evolution of porosity is explored both from natural microtextures and new experiments on model replacement reactions in simple salts, and it is shown that porosity development is often a consequence of mineral replacement processes, irrespective of the relative molar volumes of parent and product solid phases.
