文摘To solve the problem of ammonia wastewater pollution generated from preparing rare earth carbonate using the ammonium bicarbonate precipitation method,an eco-friendly precipitant,magnesium bicarbonate,was used to prepare lanthanum cerium carbonate.The lanthanum cerium sulfate solution obtained from the smelting and separation of Baotou mixed rare earth ore was used as the raw material.The influence of pH on the content of impurities,including SO^(2-)_(4)and magnesium,and the existing states of SO^(2-)_(4)n lanthanum cerium carbonate products,as well as the thermal decomposition behavior of the products,were deeply explored.SO^(2-)_(4)mainly exists in the form of rare earth sulfate complex salts in lanthanum cerium carbonate products.The fo rmation of the salts can be effectively avoided by adjusting the pH of the precipitation process.Then the content of SO^(2-)_(4)in the product is controlled.When the pH ranges from 6.00 to 7.12,the content of SO^(2-)_(4)in the product ranges from 0.42 wt%to 0.99 wt%.The content of MgO is lower than 0.04 wt%.Both contents meet the requirements of the national standard GB/T 16479-2020.In this study,lanthanum cerium carbonate products with low-content SO^(2-)_(4)were prepared.In addition,the existing states of SO^(2-)_(4)in the products are revealed.The research provides a new method for controlling the impurity content in preparing lanthanum cerium carbonate.

文摘Transition metal-carbonate interfaces often act as active sites in heterogeneous catalytic reactions.The interface between transition metal and metal carbonate exhibits a dynamic equilibrium during the CO_(2)hydrogenation reaction,involving surface carbonate hydrogenation and CO_(2)chemisorption.Nonetheless,there have been few reports on engineering the activity of the interface between transition metal and alkaline earth metal carbonate for catalytic CO_(2)conversion.This work demonstrated that the incorporation of CaH_(2)in Ni/CaCO_(3)enhances the CO_(2)methanation activity of the catalysts.The CO_(2)conversion for Ni/CaH_(2)-CaCO_(3)reached 68.5%at 400°C,which was much higher than that of the Ni/CaCO_(3)(31.6%) and Ni/CaH_(2)-CaO (42.4%) catalysts.Furthermore,the Ni/CaH_(2)-CaCO_(3)catalysts remained stable during the stability test for 24 h at 400°C and 8 bar.Our research revealed that CaH_(2)played a crucial role in promoting the activity of the Ni-carbonate interface for CO_(2)methanation.CaH_(2)could modify the electronic structure of Ni and tune the structural properties of CaCO_(3)to generate medium basic sites (OH groups),which are favorable for the activation of H2and CO_(2).In-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis combined with density functional theory calculations demonstrated that CO_(2)activation occurs at the hydroxyl group (OH) on the CaH_(2)-modified Ni-carbonate surface,leading to the formation of CO_(3)H*species.Furthermore,our study has confirmed that CO_(2)methanation over the Ni/CaH_(2)-CaCO_(3)catalysts proceeds via the formate pathway.
文摘Present industrial decarbonization technologies require an active CO_(2)-concentration system,often based on lime reaction or amine binding reactions,which is energy intensive and carries a high CO_(2)-footprint.Here instead,an effective process without active CO_(2)concentration is demonstrated in a new process-termed IC2CNT(Insulationdiffusion facilitated CO_(2) to Carbon Nanomaterial Technology)decarbonization process.Molten carbonates such as Li_(2)CO_(3)(mp 723℃)are highly insoluble to industrial feed gas principal components(N2,O_(2),and H2O).However,CO_(2) can readily dissolve and react in molten carbonates.We have recently characterized high CO_(2) diffusion rates through porous aluminosilicate and calcium-magnesium silicate thermal insulations.Here,the CO_(2) in ambient feed gas passes through these membranes into molten Li_(2)CO_(3).The membrane also concurrently insulates the feed gas from the hot molten carbonate chamber,obviating the need to heat the(non-CO_(2))majority of the feed gas to high temperature.In this insulation facilitated decarbonization process CO_(2)is split by electrolysis in the molten carbonate producing sequestered,high-purity carbon nanomaterials(such as CNTs)and O_(2).

文摘Magnesium alloy is a promising biodegradable metal material for hard tissue engineering.However,its high corrosion rate limits its application.In our previous study,we biomimetically deposited a calcium carbonate coating on the surface of magnesium alloy using siloxane induction.This calcium carbonate coating demonstrated excellent in vitro biocompatibility and provided partial protection for the magnesium alloy substrate.In this study,we further enhanced the corrosion resistance of the calcium carbonate coating by treating it with stearic acid and its derivative,sodium stearate.Electrochemical corrosion tests revealed that the sodium stearate-treated calcium carbonate coating reduced the corrosion rate by two orders of magnitude.Additionally,in vitro biocompatibility assessments showed that while the biocompatibility of the sodium stearate-treated coating was slightly reduced,it remained acceptable compared to the magnesium substrate.This study builds on our previous work and offers a promising reinforcement strategy for degradable magnesium alloys in medical applications.

文摘To address the challenges in studying the pore formation and evolution processes,and unclear preservation mechanisms of deep to ultra-deep carbonate rocks,a high-temperature and high-pressure visualization simulation experimental device was developed for ultra-deep carbonate reservoirs.Carbonate rock samples from the Sichuan Basin and Tarim Basin were used to simulate the dissolution-precipitation process of deep to ultra-deep carbonate reservoirs in an analogous geological setting.This unit comprises four core modules:an ultra-high temperature,high pressure triaxial stress core holder module(temperature higher than 300°C,pressure higher than 150 MPa),a multi-stage continuous flow module with temperature-pressure regulation,an ultra-high temperature-pressure sapphire window cell and an in-situ high-temperature-pressure fluid property measurement module and real-time ultra-high temperature-pressure permeability detection module.The new experimental device was used for simulation experiment,the geological insights were obtained in three aspects.First,the pore-throat structure of carbonate is controlled by lithology and initial pore-throat structure,and fluid type,concentration and dissolution duration determine the degree of dissolution.The dissolution process exhibits two evolution patterns.The dissolution scale is positively correlated to the temperature and pressure,and the pore-forming peak period aligns well with the hydrocarbon generation peak period.Second,the dissolution potential of dolomite in an open flow system is greater than that of limestone,and secondary dissolved pores formed continuously are controlled by the type and concentration of acidic fluids and the initial physical properties.These pores predominantly distribute along pre-existing pore/fracture zones.Third,in a nearly closed diagenetic system,after the chemical reaction between acidic fluids and carbonate rock reaches saturation and dynamic equilibrium,the pore structure no longer changes,keeping pre-existing pores well-preserved.These findings have important guiding significance for the evaluation of pore-throat structure and development potential of deep to ultra-deep carbonate reservoirs,and the prediction of main controlling factors and distribution of high-quality carbonate reservoirs.

文摘Burial dissolution is a critical diagenetic process influencing ultra-deep carbonate reservoir development and preservation.Artificial carbonate samples with different internal structures were prepared,and high-temperature and highpressure dissolution kinetic simulations were conducted.The results demonstrate that the intensity of burial dissolution is controlled by temperature and pressure,while tectonic-fluid activity influences the development pattern of burial dissolution,ultimately determining the direction of its differential modification.Extensive burial dissolution is likely to occur primarily at relatively shallow depths,significantly influencing reservoir formation,preservation,modification,and adjustment.The development of faults facilitates the maintenance of the intensity of burial dissolution.The maximum intensity of burial dissolution occurs at the tips and overlap zones of faults and intersections of multiple faults.The larger the scale of the faults,the more conducive it is to the development of burial dissolution.Burial dissolution fosters the formation of fault networks characterized by enhanced reservoir capacity and permeability.Burial dissolution controlled by episodic tectonic-fluid activity is a plausible explanation for forming the Tarim Basin's ultra-deep fault-controlled“stringbead-like”reservoirs.

文摘The study aims to investigate the carbonated water erosion mechanism of lining concrete in tunnels traversing karst environment and enhance its resistance.In this study,dynamic carbonated water erosion was simulated to assess erosion depth,microstructure,phase migrations,and pore structure in various tunnel lining cement-based materials.Additionally,Ca^(2+)leaching was analyzed,and impact of Ca/Si molar ratio in hydration products on erosion resistance was discussed by thermodynamic calculations.The results indicate that carbonated water erosion caused rough and porous surface on specimens,with reduced portlandite and CaCO_(3) content,increased porosity,and an enlargement of pore size.The thermodynamic calculations indicate that the erosion is spontaneous,driven by physical dissolution and chemical reactions dominated by Gibbs free energy.And the erosion reactions proceed more spontaneously and extensively when Ca/Si molar ratio in hydration products was higher.Therefore,cement-based materials with higher portlandite content exhibit weaker erosion resistance.Model-building concrete,with C-S-H gel and portlandite as primary hydration products,has greater erosion susceptibility than shotcrete with ettringite as main hydration product.Moreover,adding silicon-rich mineral admixtures can enhance the erosion resistance.This research offers theory and tech insights to boost cement-based material resistance against carbonated water erosion in karst tunnel engineering.

文摘Filtration is a prevalent treatment modality in the domain of wastewater management.Depending on the materials and properties of the filtration media,filtration can be classified into four main categories:microfiltration,ultrafiltration,nanofiltration,and reverse osmosis.The present study focuses on the preparation of a novel porous CaCO_(3)microfiltration membrane,which is based on the microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation(MICP)biomineralization process.Initially,CaCO_(3) crystal particles with urease activity are prepared by controlling the MICP mineralization process.Secondary microbial mineralization is used to cement the loose calcium carbonate particles,forming a continuous porous solid CaCO_(3)membrane with certain mechanical strength.Filtration tests on bacterial cells,extracellular proteins,and polysaccharides show that the MICP-driven porous CaCO_(3) membrane effectively removes Escherichia coli,Brachybacterium sp.,and activated sludge,with removal rates of 99.998%,99.983%,and 99.996%,respectively.Compared to conventional filter paper,this porous CaCO_(3) membrane demonstrates superior capability in removing extracellular polymers(EPS).Furthermore,the CaCO_(3) microfiltration membrane prepared using the MICP process also exhibits ideal pore space,non-blocking characteristics,and high permeability.

文摘Conversion and capture of carbon pollutants based on carbon dioxide to valuable green oil-field chemicals are target all over the world for controlling the global warming.The present article used new room temperature amphiphilic imidazolium ionic liquids with superior surface activity in the aqueous solutions to convert carbon dioxide gas to superior amphiphilic calcium carbonate nanoparticles.In this respect,tetra-cationic ionic liquids 2-(4-dodecyldimethylamino)phenyl)-1,3-bis(3-dodecyldimethylammnonio)propyl)bromide-1-H-imidazol-3-ium acetate and 2-(4-hexyldimethylamino)phenyl)-1,3-bis(3-hexcyldimethylammnonio)propyl)bromide-1 H-imidazol-3-ium acetate were prepared.Their chemical structures,thermal as well as their carbon dioxide absorption/desorption characteristicswere evaluated.Theywere used as solvent and capping agent to synthesize calcium carbonate nanoparticles with controlled crystalline lattice,sizes,thermal properties and spherical surface morphologies.The prepared calcium carbonate nanoparticles were used as additives for the commercial water based drilling mud to improve their filter lose and rheology.The data confirm that the lower concentrations of 2-(4-dodecyldimethylamino)phenyl)-1,3-bis(3-dodecyldimethylammnonio)propyl)bromide-1-H-imidazol-3-ium acetate achieved lower seawater filter lose and improved viscosities.

文摘The opening of the Central South Atlantic and the consequent formation of the eastern Brazilian continental margin was marked by a complex history of mafic magmatism,carbonate sedimentation,and deposition of a thick salt layer.The carbonates underlying the salt layer(pre-salt carbonates)were formed in restricted lacustrine basins.Here,the timing and fluid sources of deposition,diagenetic,and hydrothermal alterations of the pre-salt carbonate rocks are defined through in-situ U-Pb dating,87Sr/86Sr,and trace element analyses of samples from the Santos Basin.The very alkaline nature of the Aptian lake(s)produced characteristically unique and widely distributed carbonate rocks such as Mg-clays with calcite spherulite and calcite crystal shrub limestones transitioning laterally and vertically into travertines formed by hydrothermal pulses during basin evolution.Hydrothermalism caused extensive replacement,dissolution,and calcite cementation.REE+Y PAAS-normalised patterns and 87Sr/86Sr ratios indicate that deposition/eo-diagenesis of the primary carbonates occurred in a lacustrine environment primarily controlled by evaporation,pH,and continental water source,with 2%–10%hydrothermal fluid input.Trace elements and Sr-isotope of travertines and burial diagenetic phases show that they are produced from a hot mixture of mafic/mantle-derived fluids and dissolution/alteration of older carbonate formations.U-Pb dating indicates that carbonate deposition occurred between 124.8±2.6 Ma and 120.0±1.6 Ma,earlier than previously proposed,followed closely by the circulation of hydrothermal fluids.Replacement and cementation ages range from 120.5±2.4 Ma to 80.4±2.4 Ma.

文摘The synthesis of polyurethanes(PUs)from the reaction of low molecular weight poly(ethylene carbonate)diol(PECD)is rarely investigated.This work reports a novel PU with excellent mechanical properties from the solution polymerization of 4,4-diphenylmethane diisocyanate(MDI)with PECD that was derived from the copolymerization of carbon dioxide(CO_(2))and ethylene oxide(EO).The tensile strength,the elongation at break and 300%constant tensile strength of the PECD-PU were up to 66±2 MPa,880%±50%and 13 MPa,respectively,higher than the control PUs from the reaction of MDI with commercial polyethers or polyesters.The PECD-PU with high CO_(2) carbonate content exhibited good solvent resistance and chemical stability.Of importance,the mechanical properties and chemical resistance of PECD-PU were significantly enhanced with the increasing content of CO_(2),i.e.,the carbonate unit in PECD.This work provides comprehensive properties of PECD-derived PUs,indicating that PECD is a competitive precursor for the preparation of PU and has broad application prospects.

文摘Many new and developed oilfields are confined to carbonate reservoirs with a complex void space structure.In this study,the behavior of carbonates as a function of decreased reservoir pressure was examined.The study was based on actual production data from wells rather than just on model data or results from computational experiments.Well-test data(170 well tests)and laboratory core samples(45 samples)results were used in the analysis.The problem of reservoir deformation has been compre-hensively addressed at the micro and macro levels.The effect of reservoir permeability throughout the entire reservoir volume on reservoir pressure was determined.With a decline in reservoir pressure,the permeability of fractures and pores in carbonates decreases.The deformation coefficients,which char-acterize the actual rate of decrease in permeability with decreasing reservoir pressure,were also calculated.The deformation coefficients and data from core studies using μ-CT and SEM were compared.Based on micro-CT data,the effective diameters of the voids were calculated to be 93μm,109μm,and 140μm for the Vinnikovskoe,Sofinskoe,and Sukharev fields,respectively.Based on μ-CT and SEM data,the predominant geometric shapes of the voids were assessed.The deformation coefficient of voids was found to depend on their size and geometric shape.The study's findings revealed deformation co-efficients of 0.172,0.205,and 0.748 for the Vinnikovskoe,Sofinskoe,and Sukharev fields,respectively.Maximum deformation coefficients are typical for large voids with a predominant slot-like shape.However,even with the predominance of primary spherical voids in carbonates,the permeability of voids decreases with decreasing reservoir pressure.

文摘This study explores the application of machine learning techniques for predicting permeability,porosity,and flow zone indicator(FZI)in carbonate reservoirs using well log data,aiming to overcome the limitations of traditional empirical methods.Six machine learning algorithms are utilized:support vector machine(SVM),backpropagation(BP)neural network,gaussian process regression(GPR),extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),K-nearest neighbor(KNN),and random forest(RF).The methodology involves classifying pore-permeability types based on the flow index,leveraging logging curves and geological data.Models are trained using seven logging parameters—spectral gamma rays(SGR),uranium-free gamma rays(CGR),photoelectric absorption cross-section index(PE),lithologic density(RHOB),acoustic transit time(DT),neutron porosity(NPHI),and formation true resistivity(RT)—along with corresponding physical property labels.Machine learning models are trained and evaluated to predict carbonate rock properties.The results demonstrate that GPR achieves the highest accuracy in porosity prediction,with a coefficient of determination(R~2)value of 0.7342,while RF proves to be the most accurate for permeability prediction.Despite these improvements,accurately predicting lowpermeability zones in heterogeneous carbonate rocks remains a significant challenge.Application of cross-validation techniques optimized the performance of GPR,resulting in an accuracy index(ACI)value of 0.9699 for porosity prediction.This study provides a novel framework that leverages machine learning techniques to improve the characterization of carbonate reservoirs.

文摘Drilling operations in carbonate rock heavy oil blocks(e.g.,in the Tahe Oilfield)are challenged by the intrusion of high-viscosity,temperature-sensitive formation heavy oil into the drilling fluid.This phenomenon often results in wellbore blockage,reduced penetration rates,and compromised well control,thereby significantly limiting drilling efficiency and operational safety.To address this issue,this study conducts a comprehensive investigation into the mechanisms governing heavy oil invasion using a combination of laboratory experiments and field data analysis.Findings indicate that the reservoir exhibits strong heterogeneity and that the heavy oil possesses distinctive physical properties.The intrusion process is governed by multiple interrelated factors,including pressure differentials,pore structure,and the rheological behavior of the heavy oil.Experimental results reveal that the invasion of heavy oil occurs in distinct phases,with temperature playing a critical role in altering its viscosity.Specifically,as temperature increases,the apparent viscosity of the drilling fluid decreases;however,elevated pressures induce a nonlinear increase in viscosity.Furthermore,the compatibility between the drilling fluid and the intruding heavy oil declines markedly with increasing oil concentration,substantially raising the risk of wellbore obstruction.Simulation experiments further confirm that at temperatures exceeding 40℃and injection rates of L/min,the likelihood of wellbore blockage significantly≥0.4increases due to heavy oil infiltration.Based on these insights,a suite of targeted mitigation strategies is proposed.These include the formulation of specialized chemical additives,such as viscosity reducers,dispersants,and plugging removal agents,the real-time adjustment of drilling fluid density,and the implementation of advanced monitoring and early-warning systems.

文摘Fluid-rock interaction plays a critical function in physical and chemical processes associated with the formation and evolution of oil and gas reservoir space.In the diagenetic stage of shallow burial,the dissolution of carbonate rocks by acidic fluids is conducive to the development of secondary pore space in reservoirs.In contrast,the free drift experiment based on water bath instrument can simulate the dissolution process of carbonate rocks in shallow burial environment effectively.In order to study the shallow burial dissolution mechanism of carbonate rocks in different acid solutions,14 samples of typical carbonate rocks of Sinian,Cambrian,Ordovician,Permian and Triassic ages in the Tarim and Sichuan basins,China were used.The dissolution experiments on carbonate rocks in sulfuric acid,acetic acid,hydrochloric acid,silicic acid and carbonic acid at shallow burial temperature(30℃≤T≤90℃)were carried out using a water bath instrument.The PHREEQC software was used to simulate the dissolution of carbonate minerals,in order to compare the results of constant temperature water bath experiment.The results show that acid solutions have significant dissolution effect on shallow burial carbonate rocks when T=50–60℃,which corresponds to the burial depth of 1500–2000 m in the Tarim Basin and 1110–1480 m in the Sichuan Basin.However,there were obvious differences in the dissolution and reformation of carbonate rocks in different acids.In particular,sulfuric acid solution produced by thermochemical sulfate reduction can significantly promote the dissolution of carbonate rocks,especially dolomitic limestone.Moreover,the dissolution of limestone reservoirs is stronger than that of dolomite reservoirs in shallow burial.The results will provide new insights into the study of dissolution laws and influencing factors of reservoir spaces and the evaluation and prediction of carbonate reservoirs in China.

文摘Seismic fault identification is a critical step in structural interpretation,reservoir characterization,and well-drilling planning.However,fault identification in deep fault-karst carbonate formations is particularly challenging due to their deep burial depth and the complex effects of dissolution.Traditional manual interpretation methods are often labor intensive and prone to high uncertainty due to their subjective nature.To address these limitations,this study proposes a transfer learningebased strategy for fault identification in deep fault-karst carbonate formations.The proposed methodology began with the generation of a large volume of synthetic seismic samples based on statistical fault distribution patterns observed in the study area.These synthetic samples were used to pretrain an improved U-Net network architecture,enhanced with an attention mechanism,to create a robust pretrained model.Subsequently,real-world fault labels were manually annotated based on verified fault interpretations and integrated into the training dataset.This combination of synthetic and real-world data was used to fine-tune the pretrained model,significantly improving its fault interpretation accuracy.The experimental results demonstrate that the integration of synthetic and real-world samples effectively enhances the quality of the training dataset.Furthermore,the proposed transfer learning strategy significantly im-proves fault recognition accuracy.By replacing the traditional weighted cross-entropy loss function with the Dice loss function,the model successfully addresses the issue of extreme class imbalance between positive and negative samples.Practical applications confirm that the proposed transfer learning strategy can accurately identify fault structures in deep fault-karst carbonate formations,providing a novel and effective technical approach for fault interpretation in such complex geological settings.
