Mass transport by aqueous fluids is a dynamic process in shallow crustal systems, redistributing nutrients as well as contaminants. Rock matrix diffusion into fractures (void space) within crystalline rock has been postulated to play an important rol

Determining constraints imposed by salt fabrics on the morphology of solution-mined energy storage cavities, through dissolution experiments using brine and seawater in halite

Autor: Matthew R. Hall, David J.A. Evans, T. S. Barlow, Barbara Palumbo-Roe, Andrew L. Marriott, Aurelie Devez, Antoni E. Milodowski, L.P. Field

Large-scale compressed air energy storage facilities offer one solution to the UK9s energy demands, using solution-mined caverns in salt lithologies. For optimum gas storage efficiency, cavern geometry should ideally be smooth: spherical to cylindric
