LUNCH: KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
- Tianfu Xu – Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
- Reactive Transport Modeling for CO2 Geological Sequestration Reactive transport modeling is necessary to investigate long-term CO2 injection in deep saline aquifers, because aluminosilicate mineral alteration is very slow under ambient deep-aquifer conditions and is not amenable to experimental study. Reactive transport modeling can solve many problems and answer questions related to CO2 geological sequestration, including fate and transport of injected CO2, storage security or caprock integrate, and impact of potential leakage on the groundwater quality. In this talk, Tianfu will give an overview on the theory and numerical method, and then present reactive transport modeling examples.
