The contents of this monograph are two-scope. First, it intends to
provide a synthetic but complete account of the thermodynamic and
kinetic foundations on which the reaction path modeling of geological
CO2 sequestration is based. In particular, a great effort is devoted
to review the thermodynamic properties of CO2 and of the CO2-H2O
system and the interactions in the aqueous solution, the thermodynamic
stability of solid product phases (by means of several stability plots
and activity plots), the volumes of carbonation reactions, and
especially the kinetics of dissolution/precipitation reactions of
silicates, oxides, hydroxides, and carbonates.
Second, it intends to show the reader how reaction path modeling of
geological CO2 sequestration is carried out. To this purpose the
well-known high-quality EQ3/6 software package is used. Setting up of
computer simulations and obtained results are described in detail and
used EQ3/6 input files are given to guide the reader step-by-step from
the beginning to the end of these exercises.
Finally, some examples of reaction-path- and
reaction-transport-modeling taken from the available literature are
presented. The results of these simulations are of fundamental
importance to evaluate the amounts of potentially sequestered CO2, and
their evolution with time, as well as the time changes of all the
other relevant geochemical parameters (e.g., amounts of solid
reactants and products, composition of the aqueous phase, pH, redox
potential, effects on aquifer porosity). In other words, in this way
we are able to predict what occurs when CO2 is injected into a deep
aquifer.
