Under the effect of water and various flow rates of acidic aqueous chemical solution, the mass of the sample was reduced inordinately. The mass damage level of granite was described by the mass loss factor Dt: Dt = (m0 −mt) /m0 × . (2) D t = ( m 0 − m t) / m 0 × 100 %. ( 2) In Eq. 2, m0 is the original mass of the sample and mt is the ...
Liquid nitrogen fracturing and hot dry rock geothermal development are both emerging technologies in the field of energy. However, during the extraction of geothermal energy, it can cause the evolution of geological fractures, leading to the diffusion of groundwater and pollutants, thereby causing environmental pollution issues. Currently, …

We measure the permeability, porosity and formation factors of granite specimens following thermal treatment including the use of NMR to certify …
News. Arsenic is a naturally occurring element, but long-term exposure can cause cancer in people. There has been a substantial amount of research done to address arsenic in groundwater and drinking-water supplies around the country. The USGS studies local and national sources of arsenic to help health officials better manage our water …
Moreover, the cooling mode on the granite also has a certain influence on the stimulation effect. After water-cooling on the heated granite (300 °C), combined with the CO 2 bearing fluid stimulation (240 …
Experimental results and analysis. Under the action of cooling shocks, the high-temperature granite was damaged to different extents. The temperature difference between the high-temperature rock and the cold medium at 150 °C is so small that there is almost no cracking on the rock surface, so the cooling shock effect on the granite at 150 …

Granite is the most common intrusive igneous rock. Due to its high strength it has been widely used in the construction industry and deep mining operations are often conducted in the vicinity of granitic rocks. Therefore, it is crucial to understand granite׳s mechanical behavior, in particular, under cyclic loading conditions.

This phenomenon implies that the damage degree of granite increases and more micro-cracks are expected to form inside the granite because of the effects of high-temperature and acidic stimulation. Notably, the mechanical response behavior from 400 °C to 600 °C changes significantly, which is caused by structural water loss and phase ...
