Abstract:
To better predict long-term performance of a remediation system, parameters of a numerical model should be constrained with care by calibrating with reliable experimental data. This study conducted sensitivity analyses for model parameters, which were shown to represent reasonably well the observed geochemical behaviors for the column experiments that evaluated evolving reactivity of granular iron for the treatment of trichloroethylene (TCE) resulting from precipitation of secondary minerals. The particular model parameters tested include iron corrosion rate, aragonite and Fe2(OH)2CO3 precipitation rates, and proportionality constants for each mineral. For sensitivity analyses, a specific parameter was systematically changed, while other parameters were fixed at the values for the base case. The ranges of parameters tested were determined based on the previous modeling study. The results showed that the most important and sensitive model parameters were secondary mineral precipitation rates. Also, not only absolute precipitation rate for each mineral but also relative precipitation rates among different minerals were important for system performance. With help of sensitivity analysis, the numerical model can be used as a predictive tool for designing an iron permeable reactive barrier (PRB) and can provide implications for the long-term changes in reactivity and permeability of the system.

Abstract:
AbstractThe subglacial chemical weathering environment is largely controlled by low temperatures and the presence of freshly comminuted minerals with a high surface area. These characteristics are believed to promote dissolution processes that give rise to low silica and high Ca2+fluxes emanating from glacierized basins. We test an alternative hypothesis, that mineral precipitation reactions in the subglacial environment play an equally important role in controlling the water chemistry in glacierized basins. We analyze borehole and proglacial water chemistry from a subarctic polythermal glacier, complemented by mineral XRD analysis of suspended sediment, till and bedrock samples. In conjunction with a thermodynamic analysis of the water and mineral chemistry, we use reaction-path modelling to study the chemical enrichment of water through the glacier system. We find that the high pH of the subglacial environment is conducive to secondary mineral precipitation, and that it is not possible to balance the water chemistry using dissolution reactions alone. We show that low silica can be explained by standard weathering reactions without having to invoke mineral-leaching reactions. Our results suggest that subglacial weathering intensity may be significantly underestimated if the production of secondary minerals is not considered.

Abstract. Observational studies suggest that the Saharan Air Layer (SAL), an elevated layer (850–500 hPa) of Saharan air and mineral dust, has strong impacts on the microphysical as well as dynamical properties of tropical deep convective cloud systems along its track. In this case study, numerical simulations using a two-dimensional Detailed Cloud Resolving Model (DCRM) were carried out to investigate the dust-cloud interactions in the tropical deep convection, focusing on the dust role as Ice Nuclei (IN). The simulations showed that mineral dust considerably enhanced heterogeneous nucleation and freezing at temperatures warmer than −40 °C, resulting in more ice hydrometeors number concentration and reduced precipitating size of ice particles. Because of the lower in the saturation over ice as well as more droplet freezing, total latent heating increased, and consequently the updraft velocity was stronger. On the other hand, the increased ice deposition consumed more water vapor at middle troposphere, which induces a competition for water vapor between heterogeneous and homogeneous freezing and nucleation. As a result, dust suppressed the homogeneous droplet freezing and nucleation due to the heterogeneous droplet freezing and the weakened transport of water vapor at lower stratosphere, respectively. These effects led to decreased number concentration of ice cloud particles in the upper troposphere, and consequently lowered the cloud top height during the stratus precipitating stage. Acting as IN, mineral dust also influenced precipitation in deep convection. It initiated earlier the collection because dust-related heterogeneous nucleation and freezing at middle troposphere occur earlier than homogeneous nucleation at higher altitudes. Nevertheless, the convective precipitation was suppressed by reduced collection of large graupel particles and insufficient fallout related to decreased sizes of precipitating ice hydrometeors. On the contrary, dust increased the precipitation in stratiform precipitation through deposition growth. Overall, the comprehensive effects of mineral dust suppressed the precipitation by up to 22%.

Full text
Abstract:

Fractures are often leakage pathways for fluids through low-permeability rocks that otherwise act as geologic barriers to flow. Flow of fluids that are in chemical disequilibrium with the host rock can lead to mineral precipitation, which reduces fracture permeability. When fracture surfaces contain a single mineral phase, mineral precipitation leads to fast permeability reduction and fracture sealing. However, the feedback between precipitation and permeability may be disrupted by mineral heterogeneities that localize precipitation reactions and provide paths of low-reactivity for fluids to persist over relatively long time-scales. In this dissertation, I explore the role of mineral heterogeneity on precipitation-induced permeability reduction in fractures. To do this, I use a combined experimental and numerical approach to test three hypotheses: (1) Mineral heterogeneity prolongs fracture sealing by focusing flow into paths with limited reactive surface area, (2) Precipitation-induced transport alterations at the fracture-scale are controlled by three-dimensional growth dynamics at the grain-scale, and (3) The effects of mineral heterogeneity become more pronounced as mineralogy and surface roughness become autocorrelated over similar length-scales.

Direct measurements of mineral precipitation using transmitted light methods in a transparent analog fracture show that mineral heterogeneity can lead to the progressive focusing of flow into paths with limited reactive surface area, which is in support of (1). In this experiment, flow focusing led to a 72% reduction in the max precipitation rate; measurements of the projected mineralogy show that this was due to focusing of large dissolved ion concentrations into regions that contained 82% less reactive surface area than the fracture-scale average. Results from a newly developed reactive transport model that simulates precipitation-induced fracture surface alterations as a three-dimensional process are in good qualitative agreement with these experimental observations. Comparison of these results with a reactive transport model that represents precipitation as a 1D alteration of the fracture surfaces show that this flow-focusing process is driven by lateral growth of reactive minerals across the fracture-plane, which supports (2). Lastly, results from simulations in fractures that contain varied degrees of heterogeneity show that precipitation leads to a competition between two feedbacks: (i) precipitation-induced reactive surface area enhancement, which increases precipitation rates, and (ii) precipitation-induced permeability reduction, which decreases precipitation rates. When surface roughness and mineral heterogeneity provide persistent paths of limited surface area, the reactive transport becomes very sensitive to local permeability reduction. Simulation results show that this prolongs the fracture-sealing process and can lead to a reduction in fracture-scale precipitation rate, which supports (3). Furthermore, the results presented in this dissertation demonstrate that predictions of fracture sealing by mineral precipitation can be easily misinformed by studies that ignore small-scale mineral heterogeneity and neglect the three-dimensional nature of precipitation-induced fracture surface alterations.

Abstract:
The injection of CO2 in oil reservoirs for tertiary oil recovery is one of the main Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes and it is widely used in the oil and gas industry. To prevent early gas breakthrough, CO2 is commonly injected in alternated slugs with water, in a process known as CO2 Water Alternating Gas (CO2 WAG). When such processes are carried out in carbonate reservoirs, there is the potential for calcite (CaCO3) dissolution in the reservoir and its subsequent re-precipitation in production systems, thus posing a flow assurance risk that must be carefully managed. A new thermodynamic model that addresses all of the major steps involved in the precipitation of CaCO3 scale in CO2 WAG production systems is proposed, including: i) the dissolution of injected CO2 into the reservoir brine; ii) the rock-brine interactions and the dissolution of CaCO3 rock; iii) the reactive flow and transport of aqueous components in the reservoir; iv) the partition of components between the liquid, vapour, and water phases; and v) the precipitation of CaCO3 scale as a function of decreasing pressure (and temperature) in CO2 WAG production systems (i.e. in the well and in topside equipment). Thus, an aqueous electrolyte model has been implemented and coupled with a Vapour-Liquid Equilibrium (VLE) model, a multiphase flash model, and a reactive transport model. The non-ideal behaviour of the aqueous and hydrocarbon phases (vapour and liquid) has been modelled by using respectively the Pitzer equations and an Equation of State (EOS) (Soave-Redlich-Kwong, SRK, and Peng-Robinson, PR, EOS, have been used, among others). The implementation of these models has been validated by comparing results with experimental data and/or with results obtained by using industry standard software. In addition, the impact of VLE, multiphase flash, and reactive transport calculations on the precipitation of CaCO3 scale has been investigated, by considering commonly available production data. Also, a procedure had been devised to address each step involved in the precipitation of CaCO3 scale in CO2 WAG production wells individually, and together in an integrated approach. In fact, this work focuses on building the boundaries for the CaCO3 scaling system, thus allowing to define, and work on, worst case scenarios. This gives the required information – both qualitatively and quantitatively – to manage CaCO3 scale in CO2 WAG production wells.

Abstract:
L’un des enjeux principaux dans l’appréhension de l’évolution du climat planétaire réside dans la compréhension du rôle des processus de formation de la glace ainsi que leur rôle dans la formation et l’évolution des nuages troposphériques. Un cold stage nouvellement construit permet l’observation simultanée de jusqu’à 200 gouttes monodispersées de suspensions contenant des particules de K–feldspath, connues comme étant des particules glaçogènes très actives. Les propriétés glaçogènes des particules résiduelles de chaque goutte sont ensuite comparées pour les différents modes de glaciation et le lien entre noyau glaçogène en immersion et en déposition est étudié. Les premiers résultats ont montré que les mêmes sites actifs étaient impliqué dans la glaciation par immersion et par déposition. Les implications atmosphériques des résultats expérimentaux sont discutés à l’aide de Descam (Flossmann et al., 1985), un modèle 1.5–d à microphysique détaillée dans une étude de cas visant à rendre compte du rôle des différents mécanismes de glaciation dans l’évolution dynamique du nuage convective CCOPE (Dye et al., 1986). Quatre types d’aérosol minéraux (K–feldspath, kaolinite, illite et quartz) sont utilisés pour la glaciation en immersion, par contact et par déposition, à l’aide de paramétrisations sur la densité de sites glaçogènes actifs. Des études de sensibilité, où les différents types d’aérosols et modes de glaciation sont considérés séparément et en compétition, permettent de rendre compte de leurs importances relatives. La glaciation en immersion sur les particules de K–feldspath s’est révélée comme ayant le plus d’impact sur l’évolution dynamique et sur les précipications pour un nuage convectif
One of the main challenges in understanding the evolution of Earth's climate resides in the understanding the ice formation processes and their role in the formation of tropospheric clouds as well as their evolution. A newly built humidity-controlled cold stage allows the simultaneous observation of up to 200 monodispersed droplets of suspensions containing K-feldspar particles, known to be very active ice nucleating particles. The ice nucleation efficiencies of the individual residual particles were compared for the different freezing modes and the relationship between immersion ice nuclei and deposition ice nuclei were investigated. The results showed that the same ice active sites are responsible for nucleation of ice in immersion and deposition modes.The atmospheric implications of the experimental results are discussed, using Descam (Flossmann et al., 1985), a 1.5-d bin-resolved microphysics model in a case study aiming to assess the role of the different ice nucleation pathways in the dynamical evolution of the CCOPE convective cloud (Dye et al., 1986). Four mineral aerosol types (K-feldspar, kaolinite, illite and quartz) were considered for immersion and contact freezing and deposition nucleation, with explicit Ice Nucleation Active Site density parameterizations.In sensitivity studies, the different aerosol types and nucleation modes were treated seperately and in competition to assess their relative importance. Immersion freezing on K-feldspar was found to have the most pronounced impact on the dynamical evolution and precipitation for a convective cloud

Abstract:
Geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in a deep, saline aquifer is being proposed for a power-generating facility in Florida as a method to mitigate contribution to global climate change from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The proposed repository is a brine-saturated, dolomitic-limestone aquifer with anhydrite inclusions contained within the Cedar Keys/Lawson formations of Central Florida. Thermodynamic modeling is used to investigate the geochemical equilibrium reactions for the minerals calcite, dolomite, and gypsum with 28 aqueous species for the purpose of determining the sensitivity of mineral precipitation and dissolution to the temperature and pressure of the aquifer and the salinity and initial pH of the brine. The use of different theories for estimating CO2 fugacity, solubility in brine, and chemical activity is demonstrated to have insignificant effects on the predicted results. Nine different combinations of thermodynamic models predict that the geochemical response to CO2 injection is calcite and dolomite dissolution and gypsum precipitation, with good agreement among the quantities estimated. In all cases, CO2 storage through solubility trapping is demonstrated to be a likely process, while storage through mineral trapping is predicted to not occur. Over the range of values examined, it is found that net mineral dissolution and precipitation is relatively sensitive to temperature and salinity, insensitive to CO2 injection pressure and initial pH, and significant changes to porosity will not occur.

Full text
Abstract:
Swine production represents approximately 40% of the world's meat production, and its wastes contain high concentrations of organic carbon, nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). Anaerobic digestion is an increasingly popular technology for treating animal wastes while simultaneously generating energy. Its propagation and ability to solubilize organic N and P make adding a struvite recovery process attractive. Recovering struvite (MgNH4PO4) from anaerobically digested swine waste can address global P shortages, meet P discharge guidelines, and produce slow-release fertilizer, which can be sold for revenue. Anaerobic digesters were operated with at organic loading rates of 3.4-3.9 g volatile solids per liter per day to provide consistent effluent for struvite precipitation studies. Three research questions about struvite precipitation were addressed in this study, specifically what is the (1) required Mg:PO4 ratio, (2) effect of organic matter, and (3) effect of storage time and conditions on struvite precipitation from effluent of anaerobically digested swine manure? Mg:PO4 ratios between 1.3-1.8 were determined to be the economic optimum and precipitated 81-90% of P from synthetic wastewater with calcium phosphate minerals dominating. Under P-limited conditions, a chemical equilibrium model (Visual MINTEQ v.3.0) predicted over 99% P removal with a precipitate mixture of struvite, calcium phosphates, and magnesite. Synthetic wastewater experiments without organic matter removed approximately 85% P with a precipitate mixture of struvite, dolomite, calcite, brucite, and calcium phosphates. Real swine effluent removed more than 95% of P and had a similar mixture of precipitates as synthetic wastewater, but in different concentrations. Organic acids were suspected to prevent struvite formation. Stored anaerobically digested swine wastewater under varying conditions all suggest calcium phosphates form naturally over time. Precipitation of struvite is best carried out as soon as possible to increase the purity of struvite. Although struvite recovery was possible, the conditions for struvite precipitation must be controlled carefully to obtain highly pure struvite.

Abstract:
Geomicrobiology, the marriage of geology and microbiology, is about the impact of microbes on Earth materials in terrestrial systems and sediments. Many geomicrobiological processes occur over long timescales. Even the slow growth and low activity of microbes, however, have big effects when added up over millennia. After reviewing the basics of bacteria–surface interactions, the chapter moves on to discussing biomineralization, which is the microbially mediated formation of solid minerals from soluble ions. The role of microbes can vary from merely providing passive surfaces for mineral formation, to active control of the entire precipitation process. The formation of carbonate-containing minerals by coccolithophorids and other marine organisms is especially important because of the role of these minerals in the carbon cycle. Iron minerals can be formed by chemolithoautotrophic bacteria, which gain a small amount of energy from iron oxidation. Similarly, manganese-rich minerals are formed during manganese oxidation, although how this reaction benefits microbes is unclear. These minerals and others give geologists and geomicrobiologists clues about early life on Earth. In addition to forming minerals, microbes help to dissolve them, a process called weathering. Microbes contribute to weathering and mineral dissolution through several mechanisms: production of protons (acidity) or hydroxides that dissolve minerals; production of ligands that chelate metals in minerals thereby breaking up the solid phase; and direct reduction of mineral-bound metals to more soluble forms. The chapter ends with some comments about the role of microbes in degrading oil and other fossil fuels.

Abstract:
Situated at the southern edge of the Tibetan Plateau (TP), the Hindu-Kush-Himalayas-Gangetic (HKHG) region is under the clear and present danger of climate change. Flash-flood, landslide, and debris flow caused by extreme precipitation, as well as rapidly melting glaciers, threaten the water resources and livelihood of more than 1.2 billion people living in the region. Rapid industrialization and increased populations in recent decades have resulted in severe atmospheric and environmental pollution in the region. Because of its unique topography and dense population, the HKHG is not only a major source of pollution aerosol emissions, but also a major receptor of large quantities of natural dust aerosols transported from the deserts of West Asia and the Middle East during the premonsoon and early monsoon season (April–June). The dust aerosols, combined with local emissions of light-absorbing aerosols, that is, black carbon (BC), organic carbon (OC), and mineral dust, can (a) provide additional powerful heating to the atmosphere and (b) allow more sunlight to penetrate the snow layer by darkening the snow surface. Both effects will lead to accelerated melting of snowpack and glaciers in the HKHG region, amplifying the greenhouse warming effect. In addition, these light-absorbing aerosols can interact with monsoon winds and precipitation, affecting extreme precipitation events in the HKHG, as well as weather variability and climate change over the TP and the greater Asian monsoon region.

Abstract:
Geochemical reaction modeling plays an increasingly vital role in several areas of geoscience, from environmental geochemistry and petroleum geology to the study of geothermal and hydrothermal fluids. This book provides an up-to-date overview of the use of numerical methods to model reaction processes in the Earth's crust and on its surface. Early chapters develop the theoretical foundations of the field, derive a set of governing equations, and show how numerical methods can be used to solve these equations. Other chapters discuss the distribution of species in natural waters; methods for computing activity coefficients in dilute solutions and in brines; the complexation of ions into mineral surfaces; the kinetics of precipitation and dissolution reactions; and the fractionation of stable isotopes. Later chapters provide a large number of fully worked calculation examples and case studies demonstrating the modeling techniques that can be applied to scientific and practical problems. Students in a variety of specialties from low-temperature geochemistry to groundwater hydrology will benefit from the wealth of information and practical applications this book has to offer.

Abstract:
Industrial wastewaters, particularly those associated with mining and mineral processing, can contain high con-centrations of sulphate. There are various methods of sulphate removal e.g. reverse osmosis, ion exchange, precipitation by lime, cements, and salts of barium and the biological removal process. The soluble salts of barium are most commonly used for precipitation of sulphate from aquatic acidic solutions to the insoluble product barium sulphate BaSO4. Benefits of precip-itation are high sulphate removal efficiency but limitations are toxicity of barium compounds and high economical costs. For this reason the recycling of BaSO4 to barium sulphide BaS (the precipitating reagent) is very important. The paper deals with study of BaSO4 reduction by activated carbon to BaS by thermal analysis and infrared spectrometry. DCS analysis indicated that conversion of BaSO4 to BaS in the range of temperature 800–1,000 °C was performed. Thermal analysis and infrared spectra of the products confirmed the change in its composition, but process of reduction by carbon was incomplete and in sample was still present a part of BaSO4. Presence of BaS was confirmed by colorimetric method.
