Dissolution and precipitation reactions are the primary mechanisms that occur when a rock
(ie, a mineral assemblage) is in contact with a fluid out of equilibrium. They play a critical …

The portfolio of available synchrotron radiation techniques is increasing notably for cements
and pastes. Furthermore, sometimes the terminology is confusing and an overall picture …

Predicting the mechanical performance of concrete from composition and processing
remains a grand challenge. Our work focuses on predicting damage evolution in ultrahigh …

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is likely to be a critical technology to achieve large
reductions in global carbon emissions over the next century. Research on the subsurface …

Depleted oil reservoirs are considered a viable solution to the global challenge of CO2
storage. A key concern is whether the wells can be suitably sealed with cement to hinder the …

The conductivity of cement/carbon nanofiber (CNF) composite materials has previously
been shown to be affected by parameters such as eg CNF content or water to cement (w/c) …

Chemical reactions of class G oil well cement submerged in CO 2-saturated brine were
experimentally investigated to evaluate the effects of nano-silica and curing conditions. The …

The application of X-ray micro-computed tomography (μ-CT) for quantitatively characterizing
reactive-flow induced pore structure evolution including local particle detachment …

The disruption of interface layer occurring in cement stones during corrosion was
investigated using three-dimensional (3D) X-ray computed tomography (CT). This study was …

Ensuring geological containment of injected CO 2 is a key requirement in the planning and
execution of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects. This includes a proper analysis …
