MS 4.13: Natural and engineered nanoparticles in porous media: experimental findings and modeling approaches

Oral 20 Minutes

Column tests are a widely use experimental tool to investigate particle transport in porous media. However, different experiments can produce similar breakthrough curves, which make these data insufficient in order to understand the governing processes that control particle transport under different conditions. Profile analysis of the deposited particles provides information about the particle...

MS 4.28: New Applications and Research Insights Related to  Colloids at Interfaces

Oral 20 Minutes

The Gibbs energy of nanocrystals increases with decreasing crystal size due to an increasing surface to volume ratio (A/V) resulting in a solubility increase and a melting temperature decrease of small crystals. In the case of pure phases, the melting temperature decrease may be approximately represented by the Gibbs–Thomson (GT) equation. However, the melt of a salt hydrate is not a pure...

MS 4.13: Natural and engineered nanoparticles in porous media: experimental findings and modeling approaches

Oral 20 Minutes

Nanoremediation is an innovative environmental nanotechnology aimed at reclaiming contaminated aquifers. It consists in the subsurface injection of a reactive colloidal suspension for the in-situ treatment of pollutants. The greatest challenges faced by engineers to advance nanoremediation are the effective delivery and the appropriate dosing of the nanoparticles into the subsoil. These are...

879. Why different transport behaviors emerge among identical nano- and micro-particles in porous media when repulsion exists

MS 4.13: Natural and engineered nanoparticles in porous media: experimental findings and modeling approaches

Oral 20 Minutes

A profound change in transport behaviors in porous media occurs for nano- and micro-particles (herein called colloids) in the presence versus absence of repulsion between colloids and collectors (porous media grains). This change is indicated by extended tailing of low colloid concentrations during elution, which is absent or present when repulsion is absent or present, respectively. It also...

667. Interfacial Processes Control Microbial Contamination and Cleaning of Fresh Produce

MS 4.28: New Applications and Research Insights Related to  Colloids at Interfaces

Oral 20 Minutes

Foodborne illnesses involving fresh produce have been increasingly causing concerns around the world. Pathogenic bacteria can attach to and colonize the surfaces of fresh produce, leading to contamination and illness outbreaks. however, mechanistic interactions between produce surface properties (e.g. roughness, topography and hydrophobicity) and bacterial retention remain poorly understood....

688. Comparison of Types of Nanoscale Heterogeneity on Colloid Retention and Release at Interfaces

MS 4.13: Natural and engineered nanoparticles in porous media: experimental findings and modeling approaches

Oral 20 Minutes

Nanoscale roughness (NR) is a physical heterogeneity on all surfaces, whereas chemical heterogeneity (CH) may sometimes arise from spatial variability in charge (CH1), Hamaker constant (CH2), and contact angles (CH3). Expressions were developed to determine the mean interaction energy between a colloid and a solid-water interface, or another colloid, when both surfaces contain binary NR and...

MS 4.13: Natural and engineered nanoparticles in porous media: experimental findings and modeling approaches

Oral 20 Minutes

Colloidal particles released by various chemical and industrial processes penetrate soils and groundwater, and transport themselves other contaminants like heavy metals or PCBs. Thus, an accurate description of the transport and retention of these particles is required to prevent and manage environmental contamination, like the pollution of drinking water supplies. Literature stands that...

366. A Sorption Based Study on the Effect of Supercritical CO2 Interaction with Clay and Organic-Rich Shales

MS 1.01: Multi-scale Particulates Transport through Porous Media Saturated with Multi-Phase Fluids

Poster + 3 Minute Pitch

CO2 injection into reservoirs will change the state of stress in both reservoir and caprock formations due to poro-mechanical, thermal and chemical effects. As a result of induced stress, the caprock can be mechanically damaged or new fracture systems can be created. It is the objective of this study to determine the behavior of intact and fractured caprock when exposed to supercritical CO2 at...

MS 1.01: Multi-scale Particulates Transport through Porous Media Saturated with Multi-Phase Fluids

Poster + 3 Minute Pitch

Hydraulic fracturing is a major means to improve gas production which can form multi fractures and complex fracture network. Because of the permeability difference between the fracture network zone and the matrix zone, the composite fracture network system was proposed. We built a three zones coupled composite model to describe the fracture network. I zone indicates fracture network, which...

Poster + 3 Minute Pitch

Fiber-laden fracture fluid technology has been successfully implemented in unconventional reservoirs for fracture reorientation and fluid leak-off control. Inspired by the encouraging performance achieved in matrix stimulation, a new fiber-added treatment is employed for in-depth profile control, diverting injected fluids into less-permeable zones. The paper is aimed at: 1) highlighting the...

MS 2.21: Advances in the numerical modelling of multiphase flow and transport in highly heterogeneous porous media

Poster + 3 Minute Pitch

The PDEs governing multiphase flow and transport in heterogeneous porous media are highly nonlinear. Therefore, in the fully implicit finite-volume method, solving the algebraic systems is challenging and accounts for most of the simulation cost. We present a numerical scheme applicable to general-purpose simulation that reduces the computational cost by improving the nonlinear convergence....
