摘要The structural changes in the CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO slag system with varying CaO contents were investigated through molecular dynamics(MD)simulations,and its effect on the dissolution behavior of alumina inclusions was characterized by the Kullback-Leibler(KL)divergence.The slag structure analysis revealed that the[AlO]tetrahedral structure was the primary network structure in the slag.With increasing the CaO content,the non-bridge oxygen(NBO)content in the slag structure increases,and the bridge oxygen(BO)content decreases,thereby reducing the complexity of the slag network structure.Raman spectroscopy detection verifies the results of the MD simulations.The results indicated that the dissolution rate of alumina inclusions accelerates with increasing the CaO content in the slag,owing to the reduced complexity of the slag network structure and the enhanced interatomic interactions.The simulation results for the dissolution of alumina inclusions were consistent with theoretical calculations based on the slag inclusion capacity and the dimensionless dissolution rate of inclusions.Radial distribution function analysis demonstrated that the interaction between atoms in the slag system and alumina inclusions strengthens,increasing the dissolution rate of alumina inclusions.The[AlO6]octahedral structure of the alumina inclusions is disrupted,forming BO structures,which in turn enhances the complexity of the slag network structure,slowing the dissolution rate of alumina inclusions.In contrast,the slag system with a higher CaO content has a relatively simpler network structure,promoting faster alumina inclusion dissolution.

摘要Examining carbonate dissolution kinetics at mineral-water interface is crucial to understand numerous environmental and geochemical processes,including global carbon cycling,CO2sequestration in deep geological reservoirs,and trace elements release in terrestrial and aquatic environments.Here we explored the effect of circumneutral to alkaline pH solutions(pH 6-11)on dissolution kinetics of pure dolomite and Ca and Mg release stoichiometry in flow-through reactor experiments at 25±1℃.Results revealed that the dolomite dissolution rates obtained from effluent Ca and Mg concentrations(RCaand RMgin mol/cm2/s)were dependent on input solution pH and HCO3-log activity.The pH dependence of dissolution rates showed two distinct trends,i.e.,at circumneutral pH ranging between 6 and 8,the dissolution rate decreased with increasing pH,with minimum rate at pH 8.While in the highly alkaline pH range(pH 9-11),the dolomite dissolution rate increased with an increasing pH.Irrespective of the input pH,the dolomite dissolution rates indicated a reverse relationship with HCO3-log activity,with the lowest dissolution rate(R Ca=3.80×10-12mol/cm2/s)at pH 8 where HCO3-log activity attained the highest value(-3.957).The lower R Ca and R Mg obtained at pH 8 compared to all the other pH could possibly be attributed to an inhibition caused by high HCO3-log activity in solution at this pH.Dolomite dissolution rates were non-stoichiometric at all the experimental pH values,showing higher preferential Ca over Mg release(RCa>RMg)whereas an opposite trend was observed at pH 8,with RCa<RMgat the steady state.Saturation index values calculated using geochemical speciation modelling were positive for Mg-bearing minerals(brucite,dolomite,artinite)at alkaline pH of 10-11,indicating favourable conditions for their precipitation under studied conditions.This study provides insights on the significance of log ion activities of HCO3-and Me-OH+under varying pH for elucidating the dissolution mechanism of dolomite in circumneutral to alkaline aqueous environments.

摘要Nanofiltration(NF) technology,with its capacity for nanoscale filtration and controllable selectivity,holds significant promise in diverse applications.However,the current upper bound of permeance and selectivity of NF membranes is intrinsically constrained by the morphology and structure of the polyamide(PA) selective layer.This issue arises because NF membranes typically exhibit relatively smooth nodular structures,which theoretically impede efficient water transport.In this study,we enhanced the formation of nanobubbles by synergistically regulating with surfactant and low temperatures,resulting in the fabrication of PA NF membranes with a crumpled morphology.We observed that lower temperatures promote enhanced gas solubility in the aqueous phase,facilitating increased nanobubble formation through the foaming effect of surfactant sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate(SDBS).Consequently,this resulted in the creation of PA NF membranes with more crumpled structures and superior performance,with pure water permeance reaching 36.25 ± 0.42 L m-2h-1bar-1,representing an improvement of 14.47 L m-2h-1bar-1compared to the control group.Additionally,it maintains a high Na2SO4 rejection rate of97.00 % ± 0.58 %.The PA NF membranes produced by eliminating nanobubbles and free interfaces exhibited a smooth structure,whereas introducing nanobubbles(through Na HCO3 addition,N2 pressurization,and ultrasonication) resulted in the formation of crumpled membranes.This emphasized that the large amount of nanobubbles generated by SDBS and low temperature in the interfacial process played a critical role in shaping crumpled PA NF membranes and enhancing membrane performance.This approach has the potential to provide valuable insights into customizing the structural design of TFC PA NF membranes,contributing to further advancements in this field.

摘要As the carrier of charge storage,the electrode determines the efficiency of the energy conversion reaction between the battery and the substance.However,with the continuous development of scientific research,electrode preparation is still facing complex technical problems,and it is difficult to achieve a balance in performance,cost,and technology.Based on the ion dissolution and deposition behavior of Mn2+/MnO2 and Al3+/Al,a novel cathode-free aqueous ion dissolution/deposition battery is designed,which can contribute 15 mAh at 16 cm2 in a voltage window of 0.5-1.8 V.The charge storage and the attenuation mechanism are systematically investigated.The battery model with compensable electrolyte was constructed,and the cycle characteristics of the cathode-free aqueous ion dissolution/deposition battery were optimized,which could achieve 1000 h continuous operation.This system provides a low-cost and high-safety solution for future high-energy density and large-scale energy storage.Future research will focus on optimizing electrolytes,controlling deposition morphology,and improving interface stability to further promote the commercialization of cathode-free batteries.

摘要Tellurium(Te),emerging as a promising alternative to sulfur(S)and selenium(Se),offers significant advantages for potassium(K)ion storage due to its comparable theoretical volumetric capacity(2619 mAh cm-3)and higher electronic conductivity(~102 S m-1),which promotes rapid charge transfer and improves reaction kinetics.However,substantial volume changes during potassiation/depotassiation and the shuttling effect of polytellurides hinder the feasibility of K-Te batteries.Moreover,comprehensive studies on the phase formation and dissolution mechanism of K-polytellurides(K-pTen)employing various in situ and ex-situ techniques are scarcely reported.Herein,we introduce a rational strategy utilizing nickel(Ni)and cobalt(Co)heteronuclear double-atom catalysts(DACs)encapsulated within hollow porous carbon nanospheres(Ni/Co-NHPCNS)as hosts for tellurium impregnation(Te-Ni/Co-N-HPCNS).In situ and ex-situ XRD analysis revealed continuous phase transformation during discharge from amorphous Te(starting at OCV)to K2Te3(discharged to 1.5 V)and finally to K5Te3(discharged to 0.5 V).During the reverse scan,K5Te3 was reversibly converted to K2Te3(charged to 3.0 V).Additionally,density functional theory calculations have shown that the presence of Ni/Co-DAC significantly impedes the dissolution of K-pTen species,thereby expediting the reaction kinetics to unprecedented levels(3000 cycles at 2.0C).When tested as a negative electrode for K-ion storage in a full-cell layout,the prepared nanostructure exhibits highly reversible K-ion redox reactions,demonstrating its potential for commercial applications.We believe that the comprehensive design and characterization strategy discussed herein will open new frontiers for obtaining nanostructures with unparalleled electrochemical performances.

摘要On the basis of 2100 MPa ultra-high-strength bridge cable steel wire designed by our research group in the early stage,we further understand the change of the performance of the steel wire after hot dipping,which paves the way for the optimization of the hot dipping process and the development of higher-strength steel wire.Cold-drawn wires(5.9 and 7.0 mm in diameter)underwent controlled thermal exposures in a salt bath furnace simulating industrial hot dipping conditions(440-460℃,10-300 s),followed by multi-scale characterization combining tensile testing,scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope,and three-dimensional atom probe tomography.The results revealed a critical time-dependent competition between strengthening and softening mechanisms:short-duration treatments(≤30 s)enhanced strength through cementite dissolution and carbon supersaturation in ferrite,while prolonged exposures(>60s)degraded performance through lamellar spacing coarsening and dislocation annihilation.It is worth noting that the peak strength is ahead of the elongation in time to meet the standard requirements,which indicates that the process window should be optimized by the hot dipping process.Experiments and kinetic analysis determined that 30-60s was the best processing time,and the balance performance was achieved by controlling the dissolution of cementite.

摘要An alkaline autoclave dissolution method was developed to directly extract LiOH fromα-spodumene in NaOH−Na2SO4−CaO system.Approximately 90.3%Li,10.27%Si,and 9.62%Al were leached under optimal conditions:ore to CaO mass ratio of 1:1,liquid-to-solid ratio of 14 mL/g,NaOH and Na2SO4mass concentrations both of 15%at 280℃for 3 h.Notably,the addition of Na2SO4was found to selectively replace Li+while simultaneously reduce NaOH consumption.Kinetic analysis was also provided further insight into the dissolution behavior ofα-spodumene in this system.This innovative autoclave process can eliminate the energy-intensive high-temperature calcination for phase transformation,and enables the direct preparation of LiOH·H2O fromα-spodumene.

摘要The dissolution of unstable minerals such as feldspar and carbonate is currently recognized as the primary cause of the dissolution pores in most clastic rock reservoirs globally.However,research has shown that quartz dissolution pores generally occu py a certain proportion in fo reland basins typified by the Kuqa Depression.This paper studied the dissolution characteristics of quartz through the thin section analysis of the Cretaceous Bashijiqike Formation reservoir in the Kuqa Depression and molecular dynamics simulations,the findings profoundly clarify the influence of stress on quartz dissolution.It was found that the dissolution of quartz grains in the study area is quite common based on thin section observations.The molecular dynamics simulation experiments comprise two sets of experiments:umbrella sampling and molecular dynamics simulation of dissolution process.Through the umbrella sampling,it was found that under lateral compressive stress conditions,the free energy barrier for quartz dissolution is reduced.In molecular dynamics simulation experiments,there is a notable substance exchange process between quartz and the solution,ultimately forming a transition layer with a thickness of several angstroms,this layer exhibits greater thickness under lateral compressive stress conditions.In the simulated closed fluid mineral reaction system,the dissolution products of quartz enter the solution for a period of time,then ultimately reprecipitate on the surface of quartz.Through thin section analysis and molecular dynamics simulation research,the atomic level process of quartz dissolution under lateral compressive stress conditions has been elucidated,it may provide a new perspective on the formation mechanism of deep and ultra-deep high-quality clastic reservoirs.

摘要Mathematical model-based accurate evaluation of the remediation process at organic pollution sites serves as an efficient approach to the management and remediation of contaminant source zones.Numerical and upscaled analytical solution models are effective mathematical methods for reproducing the Dense Nonaqueous Phase Liquid(DNAPL)remediation process.However,in the current design of pollutant removal schemes,effective mass transfer models for characterizing the elution behaviors of contaminants remain lacking.In this study,two mathematical methods integrated with improved mass transfer models were employed to simulate the multi-stage contaminant elution behaviors under two distinct scenarios:A mixed-source region subjected to continuous water flushing and a residual DNAPL source treated with shorter-duration pulse flushing of the ethanol solution.Both the improved numerical model and upscaled analytical solution model demonstrated enhanced accuracy,which was attributed to the incorporation of solubilization mechanisms into mass transfer processes and the adoption of a multi-source region division method.The Mean Absolute Errors(MAE)of the numerical simulation for the two scenarios were 20.68 mg/L and 6.93 mg/L,respectively,whereas those of the upscaled model were 33.29 mg/L and 8.60 mg/L,respectively.Comparing the two improved models,the numerical model exhibited higher accuracy,while the upscaled model was characterized by faster computation speed and fewer input parameters.

摘要Burial dissolution is a critical diagenetic process influencing ultra-deep carbonate reservoir development and preservation.Artificial carbonate samples with different internal structures were prepared,and high-temperature and highpressure dissolution kinetic simulations were conducted.The results demonstrate that the intensity of burial dissolution is controlled by temperature and pressure,while tectonic-fluid activity influences the development pattern of burial dissolution,ultimately determining the direction of its differential modification.Extensive burial dissolution is likely to occur primarily at relatively shallow depths,significantly influencing reservoir formation,preservation,modification,and adjustment.The development of faults facilitates the maintenance of the intensity of burial dissolution.The maximum intensity of burial dissolution occurs at the tips and overlap zones of faults and intersections of multiple faults.The larger the scale of the faults,the more conducive it is to the development of burial dissolution.Burial dissolution fosters the formation of fault networks characterized by enhanced reservoir capacity and permeability.Burial dissolution controlled by episodic tectonic-fluid activity is a plausible explanation for forming the Tarim Basin's ultra-deep fault-controlled“stringbead-like”reservoirs.

摘要Complex physical and chemical reactions during CO2sequestration alter the microscopic pore structure of geological formations,impacting sequestration stability.To investigate CO2sequestration dynamics,comprehensive physical simulation experiments were conducted under varied pressures,coupled with assessments of changes in mineral composition,ion concentrations,pore morphology,permeability,and sequestration capacity before and after experimentation.Simultaneously,a method using NMR T2spectra changes to measure pore volume shift and estimate CO2sequestration is introduced.It quantifies CO2needed for mineralization of soluble minerals.However,when CO2dissolves in crude oil,the precipitation of asphaltene compounds impairs both seepage and storage capacities.Notably,the impact of dissolution and precipitation is closely associated with storage pressure,with a particularly pronounced influence on smaller pores.As pressure levels rise,the magnitude of pore alterations progressively increases.At a pressure threshold of 25 MPa,the rate of change in small pores due to dissolution reaches a maximum of 39.14%,while precipitation results in a change rate of-58.05%for small pores.The observed formation of dissolution pores and micro-cracks during dissolution,coupled with asphaltene precipitation,provides crucial insights for establishing CO2sequestration parameters and optimizing strategies in low permeability reservoirs.

摘要Global coral reef ecosystems have been severely degraded due to the combined effects of climate change and human activities.Changes in the seawater carbonate system of coral reef ecosystems can reflect their status and their responses to the impacts of climate change and human activities.Winter and summer surveys in 2019 found that the ecological community of the Luhuitou coral reef flat was dominated by macroalgae and corals,respectively,contrasting with the conditions 10 years ago.The Luhuitou fringing reefs were sources of atmospheric CO2 in both seasons.In winter,the daily variation range of dissolved inorganic carbon(DIC)in Luhuitou coral reefs was up to 450μmol/kg,while that of total alkalinity(TA)was only 68μmol/kg.This indicated that the organic production was significantly higher than the calcification process during this period.The TA/DIC was approximately 0.15,which was less than half of that in healthy coral reefs;hence,photosynthesis-respiration processes were the most important factors controlling daily changes in the seawater carbonate system.The net community production(NCP)of the Luhuitou coral reef ecosystem in winter was as high as 47.65 mmol C/(m2·h).While the net community calcification(NCC)was approximately 3.35 and-4.15 mmol CaCO3/(m2·h)during the daytime and nighttime respectively.Therefore,the NCC for the entire day was-21.9 mmol CaCO3/(m2·d),indicating a net autotrophic dissolved state.In summer,the acidification was enhanced by thunderstorms and heavy rain with the highest seawater partial pressure of CO2(p CO2)and lowest pH T.Over the past 10 years,the increase rate of seawater p CO2 in Luhuitou reef was approximately 13.3μatm/a***,six times that of the open ocean,while the decrease rate of pH was approximately 0.0083/a,being five times that of the global ocean.These findings underscore the importance of protecting and restoring Luhuitou fringing reef,as well as similar reefs worldwide.

摘要The dominated contradiction in optimizing the performance of magnesium-air battery anode lies in the difficulty of achieving a good balance between activation and passivation during discharge process.To further reconcile this contradiction,two Mg-0.1Sc-0.1Y-0.1Ag anodes with different residual strain distribution through extrusion with/without annealing are fabricated.The results indicate that annealing can significantly lessen the“pseudo-anode”regions,thereby changing the dissolution mode of the matrix and achieving an effective dissolution during discharge.Additionally,p-type semiconductor characteristic of discharge productfilm could suppress the self-corrosion reaction without reducing the polarization of anode.The magnesium-air battery utilizing annealed Mg-0.1Sc-0.1Y-0.1Ag as anode achieves a synergistic improvement in specific capacity(1388.89 mA h g-1)and energy density(1960.42 mW h g-1).This anode modification method accelerates the advancement of high efficiency and long lifespan magnesium-air batteries,offering renewable and cost-effective energy solutions for electronics and emergency equipment.

摘要The deep layer has become an important replacement field for oil and gas exploration,but the formation mechanism of effective reservoirs is unknown,and the distribution of dessert reservoirs is difficult to predict,which seriously affects the discovery of deep resources.In this paper,the reservoir of the first and second members of the Shahejie Formation in the Caofeidian 6-4S area of the Bozhong Depression is taken as an example.Through the comprehensive means such as well-seismic calibration,denudation recovery,source-sink quantitative coupling,basin simulation,microscopic observation,X-ray diffraction,inclusion and thermodynamic analysis,the reservoir formation mechanism of dissolution pores and the favorable area distribution of thermodynamic prediction of dissolution reaction in the study area are carried out.The results show that the dissolution pores are the dominant type,accounting for more than 80%of the total pores.The dissolution reaction between soluble minerals such as feldspar accumulated in the near source and acidic fluids such as organic acids formed in the adjacent strata is the main mechanism for the development of dissolution pores.The organic matter in the adjacent strata is controlled by temperature and pressure during the burial evolution process to form organic acids,and migrates to the adjacent reservoirs for selective dissolution under the action of pressure and other driving forces.The characteristics of thermodynamic parameters(ΔG,which can determine whether feldspar is dissolved)and kinetic parameters(R,indicating the degree of feldspar dissolution)of feldspar dissolution reaction show that the thermodynamic parameters of feldspar dissolution are positively correlated with temperature,and the kinetic parameters are correlated with the concentration of organic acid discharge.The results of thermodynamic and kinetic parameters are coupled with provenance-sedimentary facies-diagenetic facies,and it is predicted that the plane area of TypeⅠfavorable area is 50 km2,and the plane area of TypeⅡfavorable area is 62.4 km2.This method provides theoretical reference and method guidance for the prediction of favorable reservoir distribution of deep clastic rocks,and has a good application prospect.

摘要The challenge of wide brine source and its additional problems come from the economy(energy consumption and other costs),security(re-dissolution of surrounding salt rocks),and environment(groundwater pollution by brine)of salt cavern oil storage are worth examining to improve the efficiency of oil storage.Against this background,this work presented an operating mode of salt cavern oil and gas co-storage and using natural gas displacement for petroleum recovery.A gas-oil two-phase flow model with gas dissolution and exsolution was proposed to evaluate the application prospects of the new method precisely.Numerical studies indicated that the gas void fraction at the wellhead under quasi-steady state conditions is approximately 0.153,which belongs to bubbly flow,and the pressure at the wellhead of the central tube increased from 5.54 to 6.12 MPa during the entire transient flow stage,with an increase of 10.47%.Compared to the traditional method of using brine as the working fluid,the pump pressure rises from 2.92 to 14.01 MPa.However,if the new mode can be linked with the salt cavern gas storage and when the initial wellhead gas pressure exceeds 13 MPa,the energy consumption of the new method will be lower than that of the traditional brine-based operational mode.A new empirical formula is proposed to determine the two-phase flow pattern under different operating parameters.A special focus was given to energy consumption for oil recovery,which grows roughly in accordance with the operating pressure and oil recovery rate.However,the energy cost per volume of crude oil remains almost unchanged.This work provided a new solution for the serious brine problem and is expected to achieve petroleum recovery through natural gas displacement.

摘要Copper-nickel tailings(CNTs),consisting of more than 80wt%magnesium-bearing silicate minerals,show great potential for CO2mineral sequestration.The dissolution kinetics of CNTs in HCl solution was investigated through a leaching experiment and kinetic modeling,and the effects of reaction time,HCl concentration,solid-to-liquid ratio,and reaction temperature on the leaching rate of mag-nesium were comprehensively studied.Results show that the suitable leaching conditions for magnesium in CNTs are 2 M HCl,a solid-to-liquid ratio of 50 g·L−1,and 90℃,at which the maximum leaching rate of magnesium is as high as 83.88%.A modified shrinking core model can well describe the leaching kinetics of magnesium.The dissolution of magnesium was dominated by a combination of chemical reaction and product layer diffusion,with a calculated apparent activation energy of 77.51 kJ·mol−1.This study demonstrates the feasibil-ity of using CNTs as a media for CO2mineral sequestration.

摘要Dissolution kinetics of CaO·2Al2O3(CA2)particles in a synthetic CaO-Al2O3-SiO2steelmaking slag system have been investigated using the high-temperature confocal laser scanning microscope.Effects of temperature(i.e.,1500,1550,and 1600℃)and slag composition on the dissolution time of CA2particles are investigated,along with the time dependency of the projection area of the particle during the dissolution process.It is found that the dissolution rate was enhanced by either an increase in temperature or a decrease in slag viscosity.Moreover,a higher ratio of CaO/Al2O3(C/A)leads to an increased dissolution rate of CA2particle at 1600℃.Thermodynamic calculations suggested the dissolution product,i.e.,melilite,formed on the surface of the CA2particle during dissolution in slag with a C/A ratio of 3.8 at 1550℃.Scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry analysis of as-quenched samples confirmed the dissolution path of CA2particles in slags with C/A ratios of 1.8 and 3.8 as well as the melilite formed on the surface of CA2particle.The formation of this layer during the dissolution process was identified as a hindrance,impeding the dissolution of CA2particle.A valuable reference for designing or/and choosing the composition of top slag for clean steel production is provided,especially using calcium treatment during the secondary refining process.

摘要The commercial ZK 60 magnesium alloy with extruded state experienced aging heat treatment(T 6)was dynamically loaded at strain rate of 3000 s−1 by means of the split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB)in this paper.Transmission electron microscopy(TEM)observations showed that the precipitatedβ′1 phases partially dissolved(spheroidized)with blurred interfaces within 160μs at 3000 s−1.The average length and diameter of the rod-shapedβ′1 phase particles were 48.5 and 9.8 nm after the T 6 heat treatment;while the average diameter of the sphericalβ′1 phases changed to 8.8 nm after loading.The deformedβ′1 phase generated larger lattice distortion energy than Mg matrix under high strain rate loading.Therefore,the difference of free energy(the driving force of dissolution)between theβ′1 phase and the matrix increased,making the instantaneous dissolution of theβ′1 phase thermodynamically feasible.The dissolution(spheroidization)of theβ′1 phase particles was kinetically promoted because the diffusion rate of the solute Zn atoms was accelerated by combined actions of adiabatic temperature rise,high density of dislocations(vacancies)and high deviatoric stresses during high strain rate loading.The increase in hardness of ZK 60-T 6 alloy could be attributed to solid solution strengthening,dislocation strengthening and second phase particle strengthening.

摘要Magnesium implants have received widespread attention in orthopaedic surgery.However,the mechanical degradation and concurrent inflammation caused by the rapid corrosion of Mg limits their applications.In this study,a kind of unique core-shell heterojunction CuS@PPy nanostructures was synthesized and then incorporated in polycaprolactone(PCL)to construct an intelligent coating(CuS@PPy/PCL)on micro-arc-oxidized Mg implants.The PCL-based coating can realize near-infrared(NIR)-driven antibacterial and controllable Mg dissolution according to different bone healing stages.At the beginning of bone remodelling,the coating exhibits promising antibacterial properties with 99.67%and 99.17%efficacy against S.aureus and E.coli,respectively,thanks to the singlet oxygen(1O2)and alkoxyl radicals(RO·)generated by the photodynamic effect of CuS@PPy heterojunction under low-power NIR light(1.5 W/cm2).In the bone reparative stage,the PCL-based coating can maintain high corrosion resistance to meet the mechanical requirements of Mg implants in human body fluid.However,after the complete rehabilitation of bones,through a high-power(2 W/cm2)NIR light,the PCL-based coating changed from an elastic to a viscous flow state(44.7℃)under the photothermal effects of CuS@PPy,leading to quick degradation of the PCL-based coating and following accelerating dissolution of the Mg implant(avoiding secondary surgery).Hopefully,this NIR-responsive coating may provide an innovative method for the antibacterial and controllable dissolution of Mg implants.

摘要Geological sequestration of carbon dioxide(CO2)entails the long-term storage of captured emissions from CCUS(Carbon Capture,Utilization,and Storage)facilities in deep saline aquifers to mitigate greenhouse gas accumulation.Among various trapping mechanisms,dissolution trapping is particularly effective in enhancing storage security.However,the stratified structure of saline aquifers plays a crucial role in controlling the efficiency of CO2 dissolution into the resident brine.In this study,a two-dimensional numerical model of a stratified saline aquifer is developed,integrating both two-phase flow and mass transfer dynamics.The model captures the temporal evolution of gas saturation,reservoir pressure,and CO2 dissolution behavior under varying geological and operational conditions.Specifically,the effects of porosity heterogeneity,permeability distribution,and injection rate on the dissolution process are examined,and sequestration efficiencies across distinct stratigraphic layers are compared.Simulation results reveal that in the early phase of CO2 injection,the plume spreads radially along the lower portion of the aquifer.With continued injection,high-saturation regions expand upward and eventually accumulate beneath the shale and caprock layers.Pressure within the reservoir rises in response to CO2 injection,propagating both vertically and laterally.CO2 migration and dissolution are strongly influenced by reservoir properties,with progressive dissolution occurring in the pore spaces of individual layers.High-porosity zones favor CO2 accumulation and enhance local dissolution,whereas low-porosity regions facilitate vertical diffusion.An increase in porosity from 0.25 to 0.30 reduces the radial extent of dissolution in the high-permeability layer by 16.5%.Likewise,increasing permeability promotes radial dispersion;each 10 mD increment extends the CO2 dissolution front by approximately 18 m.Elevated injection rates intensify both vertical and lateral plume migration:every 0.25×10−6 m/s increase in rate yields an average 100–120 m increase in radial dissolution distance within high-permeability zones.
