被引用回数：11 パーセンタイル：64.37(Energy & Fuels)This study evaluates petrophysical properties of representative geological rocks in the context of injectivity, storage space, and caprock integrity for effective utilization and long-term storage of carbon dioxide. A total of 10 geological rocks were selected as representative storage media for consideration as saline aquifers & depleted oil and gas reservoirs, basalts, and cap rocks, as well as utilization in organic-rich shale and coal seams. An integrated suite of laboratory tests, including liquid immersion porosimetry, gas expansion porosimetry, grain size distribution, mercury intrusion porosimetry, and gas diffusion, were performed on these various rock samples. The results exhibit a disparity of petrophysical properties among two broad groups of rocks: rocks selected for possible storage of CO
have porosities of 
10-25%, permeabilities of 10

m
, 
m-sized pore-throat size distribution, and mostly good pore connectivity; in contrast, the potential caprocks have porosities of 0.5-5%, permeabilities of 10

m, pore throat sizes of 
50 nm, and probably poorly connected pore networks. An understanding of the measured facets of pore structure and contribution of fractures is also critical in the context of different testing principles and data interpretation of petrophysical analyses, as well as observational scales in the laboratory and field, and therefore reliable confidence of CO storage and utilization performance. Our work further illustrates the controlling influence of grain size distribution and geological processes on pore size distribution and pore connectivity for a wide range of rock types and lithologies, and particularly presents the extent and behavior of CO gas diffusion with a custom-designed apparatus for a holistic understanding of various petrophysical attributes of widely different geological rocks.

被引用回数：4 パーセンタイル：71.02(Nuclear Science & Technology)The REPRO-TDE test was performed at a depth of about 400 m in the ONKALO underground research facility in Finland. Synthetic groundwater containing radionuclide tracers (HTO, Cl-36, Na-22, Ba-133, Cs-134) was circulated for about four years in a packed-off interval of the injection borehole. Tracer activities were additionally monitored in two observation boreholes. The test was the subject of a modelling exercise by the SKB GWFTS Task Force. Eleven teams participated in the exercise, using different model concepts and approaches. Predictive model calculations were based on laboratory-based information concerning porosities, diffusion coefficients and sorption partition coefficients. After the experimental results were made available, the teams were able to revise their models to reproduce the observations. General conclusions from these back-analysis calculations include the need for reduced effective diffusion coefficients for Cl-36 compared to those applicable to HTO (anion exclusion), the need to implement weaker sorption for Na-22, compared to results from laboratory batch-sorption experiments, and the observation of large differences between the theoretical initial concentrations for the strongly-sorbing Ba-133 and Cs-134 and the first measured values a few hours after tracer injection. Different teams applied different concepts, concerning mainly the implementation of isotropic vs. anisotropic diffusion, or the possible existence of Borehole Disturbed Zones around the different boreholes. The role of microstructure was also addressed in two of the models.

被引用回数：6 パーセンタイル：58.63(Engineering, Civil)Mass transport in geomedia as influenced by the pore structure is an important phenomenon. Six rocks (granodiorite, limestone, two chalks, mudstone, and dolostone) with different extents of heterogeneity at six different particle sizes were studied to describe the effects of pore connectivity on mass transport. The multiple methods applied were porosity measurement, gas diffusion test, and batch sorption test of multiple ions. Porosity measurement results reveal that with decreasing particle sizes, the effective porosities for the "heterogenous" group (granodiorite and limestone) increase, whereas the porosities of "homogeneous" group (chalks, mudstone, and dolostone) roughly remain constant. Gas diffusion results show that the intraparticle gas diffusion coefficient among these two groups, varying in the magnitude of 10
to 10
m/s. The batch sorption work displays a different affinity of these rocks for tracers, which are related to their mineral components. For granodiorite, mudstone, and dolostone, the adsorption capacity increases as the particle size decreases, due to higher specific surface area in smaller particle-size. In general, this integrated research of grain size distribution, rock porosity, intraparticle diffusivity, and ionic sorption capacity gives insights into the pore connectivity effect on both gas diffusion and chemical transport behaviors for different lithologies and/or different particle sizes.

Task 9C of the SKB Task Force on Modelling of Groundwater Flow and Transport of Solutes (Task Force GWFTS) was the third subtask within Task 9 and focused on (1) predictive and (2) back-analysis modelling of experimental results from the REPRO-TDE in situ diffusion experiment. The test was performed at a depth of about 400 m in the ONKALO underground research facility in Finland. Synthetic groundwater containing radionuclide tracers (HTO, Cl-36, Na-22, Ba-133, Cs-134) was circulated for about four years in a packed-off interval of the so-called injection borehole. Tracer activities were additionally monitored in two observation boreholes arranged as a right-angled triangle and located at about 0.1 m wall-to-wall from the injection borehole. Eleven modelling teams participated in the modelling exercise, using different model concepts and approaches. Three main types of models were applied: (1) An analytical solution to the diffusion-retention equations, (2) continuum-porous-medium-type numerical models, and (3) microstructure-based models. The predictive model calculations were based on laboratory-based information concerning porosities, diffusion coefficients and sorption partition coefficients available in the task description. Microstructural characterisation of rock samples was also available and used by the teams using microstructure-based models.

被引用回数：22 パーセンタイル：88.96(Chemistry, Physical)Mechanistic understanding and predictive modeling of radionuclide diffusion in Na- and Ca-montmorillonite are essential to evaluate the long-term evolution of the bentonite barrier and their impact on radionuclide migration during geological disposal of radioactive wastes. Thus, the diffusion behavior of Cs, I, and tritiated water (HTO) in compacted Ca-montmorillonite was investigated as a function of porewater salinity and dry density via both experiments and models. The effective diffusion coefficient (De) followed in the order of Cs 
HTO I. The De of Cs decreased with increasing salinity, whereas the dependence of De of I on salinity was uncertain. The cation excess and anion exclusion effects for Ca-montmorillonite were lower than those for Na-montmorillonite. The integrated sorption and diffusion (ISD) model, assuming the homogeneous pore structure and the electrical double layer (EDL) theory for 2:1 electrolyte (CaCl), could account for the observed trends for De in Ca-montmorillonite. The lower dependence of De on the porewater salinity in Ca-montmorillonite was caused by the reduction of the EDL thickness for divalent cations (Ca
) in comparison with that for monovalent cations (Na). The multipore model could improve the fit for De of I at low salinity due to the reduction of interlayer pore volumes and anion exclusion effect, however, the disparity at higher densities was considerably larger. From these results, cation diffusion for compacted Ca-montmorillonite could be mainly explained by the electrostatic interactions in the homogeneous pore model; in contrast, anion diffusion was sensitive to both electrostatic interactions and heterogeneous pore structures. The proposed ISD model is an effective tool to evaluate the radionuclide diffusion and sorption behavior in both compacted Ca-montmorillonite and Na-montmorillonite.

Matrix diffusion and sorption are key processes to predict the transport of radionuclides in crystalline rocks for geological repository. Based on the previous studies, cationic sorption onto biotite would play an important role to evaluate the sorption and diffusivity of radionuclides in crystalline rock. In order to investigate the impact of sorption of cations in biotite on the diffusivity, in this study, we conducted through-diffusion tests of Cs, Co and Sr for several types of crystalline rocks, and compared the results in different concentrations of K that is one of the major cations of groundwater and also strong competitor for Cs sorption onto biotite. Moreover, the elemental maps of multiple tracers sorbed onto biotite of these rocks were directly obtained by using a laser ablation (LA)-ICP-MS, which provides microscale distribution of tracer elements within the rocks.

Fluid flow and chemical transport in porous media are the macroscopic consequences of pore structure, which integrates geometry (e.g., pore size and surface area, pore-size distribution) and topology (e.g., pore connectivity). Low-permeability geological media whose pores are poorly interconnected will exhibit the characteristics of anomalous diffusion and sample size-dependent effective porosity, which will strongly impact long-term net diffusion and retention of radionuclides in geological repository settings. A suite of experimental approaches is utilized to study the microscopic pore structure and macroscopic fluid flow and chemical transport for a range of natural rocks (such as clay/shale, crystalline rock, salt), in addition to clay minerals. With a particular focus on quantifying the presence and magnitude of isolated pores for a reduced effective porosity in low-permeability geomedia, the integrated methodologies for basic properties and pore structure characterization include X-ray diffraction, thin section petrography, grain size distribution, water immersion porosimetry, mercury intrusion porosimetry, nitrogen physisorption, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray computed tomography, and (ultra-)small angle neutron (or X-ray) scattering. In addition, custom-designed gas diffusion, tracer recipe involving a range of anionic and cationic chemicals with subsequent analyses by laser ablation and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, along with batch sorption, column transport, and imbibition tests were conducted for coupled effects of pore structure and chemical retention/transport.

To investigate the barrier performance of a pre-Neogene sedimentary rock for deep geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste, the heterogeneity of the rock matrices and the diffusion behaviors of cesium, iodine, and HDO were examined. The structures of the rock samples examined by X-ray Computed Tomography are used to interpret the diffusion behaviors of the ions and HDO. The research reveals that the rock's heterogeneity significantly influences radionuclide diffusion, challenging traditional models and underscoring the need for advanced modeling.

In the safety assessment of geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste, it is an important task to confirm applicability of the models and parameters to quantify the radionuclide migration based on laboratory diffusion and sorption tests to the actual underground environment. In this study, the second Long-Term Diffusion (LTD-II) test at the GTS using tritiated water (HTO), Cl-36, Na-22, Cs-134 and Ba-133 as tracers were analysed focusing borehole disturbed zone (BDZ) effect near borehole and diffusion anisotropy by the foliation effect. We measured the detailed depth profile of the cations and wide-range distributions of HTO and Cl-36 around an injection hole by additional laboratory analysis, and in situ LTD-II test results were predicted by the scaling approach from laboratory to in situ condition.

天然の岩石や土壌中の放射性核種の移行を評価するうえで、風化生成物として含まれる粘土鉱物への放射性核種の吸着・固定は重要な現象のひとつである。放射性廃棄物の地層処分の安全評価や福島の環境中へ放出された核種の挙動評価において、重要な放射性核種であるCsは、主に粘土鉱物によって吸着・固定化される。岩石や土壌に含まれる代表的な粘土鉱物であるバーミキュライトはCsを強く吸着することが知られておりCsの移動挙動を支配する物質の一つである。バーミキュライトへのCsの吸着・脱着試験より、バーミキュライトは複数のCs吸着サイトが存在することが示唆されているが、その詳細なメカニズムについては解明されていない。そこで本研究では、Csが吸着したバーミキュライトの133Cs固体NMR実験とモデル構造によるシフト計算により、バーミキュライトに吸着したCsのケミカルシフトと構造の関係を調べた。

To develop a realistic model and reliable parameters for long-term safety assessments of geological disposal, it is necessary to understand and quantify the effects of heterogeneities around the fractures on radionuclide transport in fractured crystalline rocks. This paper presents a comprehensive approach developed for coupling laboratory tests, microscopic observations and modelling in order to understand and quantify tracer transport occurring in natural fracture, using different types of fractured granodiorite sample from the Grimsel Test Site, Switzerland. Realistic model incorporating heterogeneities around the fracture, and their properties such as porosity, sorption and diffusion parameters, provided a much better interpretation for experimental results of several tracers with different transport properties. Mechanistic understanding and detailed modeling considering the effects of heterogeneities around a natural fracture should improve confidence for the safety assessment in fractured crystalline rocks.

高レベル放射性廃棄物の地層処分において、岩盤中の割れ目は、放射性核種の主な移行経路として想定されている。割れ目中の核種は地下水の流れにより移行するが、割れ目の形状や性状が均一でないことから、その不均質性が移行挙動へ及ぼす影響の評価が課題である。これまでに原子力機構では、原位置試験場から採取した岩石の天然の割れ目を対象に、核種の移行挙動の理解及びモデル開発を進め、割れ目開口幅や割れ目表面近傍の変質層の重要性を示してきた。一方で、これまでに対象とした試料では数cm程度の移行評価にとどまり、より大きなスケールで想定される流路の選択性や連続性が移行挙動に及ぼす影響の評価が課題であった。本研究では、数十cm程度の移行距離を想定した大型の花崗閃緑岩の割れ目を対象に、トレーサー移行試験及びX線CT測定を実施した。それらの結果から、移行挙動に影響を及ぼすことが予想される割れ目の構造やトレーサーの流路の不均質性を調べた。

This study examines pre-Neogene sedimentary rocks, prevalent in the Japanese basement and considered potential host rocks for high-level radioactive waste (HLW) repositories. These rocks, characterized by their block-in matrix structures, present unique challenges in understanding the diffusion behaviors of radionuclides. Given their lithofacies, vein patterns, and fracture characteristics, an approach is required to clarify diffusion behaviors, based on their structural characteristics. The research employs through-diffusion experiments with Cs, I, and HDO to address this. The obtained breakthrough curves are modeled with the help of X-ray Computed Tomography (X-ray CT) scanning data. These investigations are pivotal in assessing the barrier performance of pre-Neogene sedimentary rocks for effective long-term containment of HLW.

Understanding the interaction of clay minerals with natural organic matter, such as humic acid (HAs) incorporating radionuclides, is an important research area for radioactive waste confinement. Nevertheless, the adsorption and migration behavior of HAs on the coexistence of clay minerals remains unclear. Herein, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are applied to understand the adsorption behavior of HAs on clay minerals.
