Book cover Geologic Carbon Sequestration

Abstract

The article constitutes a review of so far obtained results of the mineralogical changes occurs in reservoir and cap rocks due to the effect of carbon dioxide injection and storage in the presence of saline. The impact of CO2 was observed based on the determination of mineralogical changes by SEM-EDS method. In order to evaluate such interactions (changes) a numerous laboratory investigations were carried our using special designed devices for this purposes where samples of rocks were flooded in artificial brines and closed in autoclaves. Next the CO2 stream was driven. The investigations were performed at different conditions of pressure, temperature and period of time. To determine the changes in the individual minerals, via the scanning electron microscopy method, the results of mineralogical observations of the same sort of minerals in rock samples before and after the experiment were described. In all investigated cases the minerals precipitation and dissolution processes were observed as the result CO2-brine-rock interactions. The changes were detected on the following minerals: feldspars, micas, dolomite, calcite, anhydrite, kaolinite, pyrite.
