Monitoring microseismic activity in core samples encased in core flooding apparatus subjected to confining and pore pressures
Geological sequestration of CO2 is considered as one of the most promising technologies to mitigate global warming. The process of CO2 injection and storage in the porous sandstones, however, may be accompanied with an increase in microseismic activity. In order to better understand the causes of …

Relative timing of dolomitization and silica cementation in the Cambrian Potosi and Eminence Dolomites in the Illinois Basin, USA
… Cambrian Potosi and Eminence Dolomites of the Illinois Basin are currently being considered as targets for subsurface carbon capture, transport and storage (CCS) because of their extensive regional distribution and high intrinsic porosity and permeability. Drill core and outcrop samples …

Flash calcination of limestone in a bench-scale sorbent activation process (SAP) unit
… 40 % of the total electricity in the United States. The flue gas generated from burning coal contains air pollutants including sulfur oxides (SOx), hydrochloric acid (HCl) and elemental and ionic mercury (Hgo and Hg2+). A process option to remove these pollutants from the flue gas is by …
