1 Precipitation Reaction Fronts in Subsurface Environments: Insights from Experiments and Challenges for Modeling and Engineering INL Subsurface Biogeochemical Research (SBR) Scientific Focus Area George Redden (Technical Lead) Yoshiko Fujita Hai Huang Timothy Johnson* Roelof Versteeg** Mike McIlwain Luanjing Guo Zhijie Xu* Don Fox *Now at PNNL, **Now at Sky Research James Henriksen Robert Smith - University of Idaho Tsigabu Gebrehiwet - University of Idaho Lee Slater, Chi Zhang - Rutgers University Alexandre Tartakovsky - PNNL Andre Revil - Colorado School of Mines
2 Reaction front A region where reactants are mixing at the molecular scale to create conditions where reactions occur. Strong local chemical gradients Potentially far from equilibrium Challenging for scaling and volume averaging A A B B? A B B A A + B = C System described by A x,y,z, B x,y,z and C x,y,z System described by A, B and C
3 Engineering mineral precipitation often involves injecting at least one component of a multi-component reaction.
4 Why focus on induced mineral precipitation? Consequences Permeability reduction Fracture sealing Flow path modification for applications Environmental remediation Geologic carbon sequestration Subsurface resource extraction Geothermal (high T, P, sc-co 2 ) Enhanced oil recovery In situ mining Waste isolation repositories Subsurface energy storage and recovery Fuels, heat, pressure Geotechnical engineering of soils
5 The INL SFA: Basic and applied science aspects of amendment-driven precipitation reaction fronts Emphasize experiments at intermediate scales where system level behavior can be observed Behavior of Complex Systems AND Complex Behavior of Systems Consider conditions that could be relevant in engineered systems Physical and chemical gradients Kinetically controlled processes Strong physical-chemical process coupling Context: Modifying the mobility of 90 Sr Ca 2+ Ca 2+ HCO 3 - HCO 3 - Sr 2+ Sr 2+ Sr 2+ Coprecipitation Encapsulation Flow diversion
6 Examples of mixing-precipitation reaction fronts: INL SFA experimental campaigns I. Mixing and precipitation by double diffusion Ca 2+ CO 3 2- II. Parallel flow Ca 2+ CO 3 2- III. Sequential mixing Ca 2+ CO 3 2- IV. Urease facilitated precipitation of CaCO 3 urea CO 2-3 Ca 2+ CaCO 3
7 I. Double-Diffusion Mixing and Precipitation

9 Predecessor to gel experiments: Diffusion and precipitation in a sand matrix SO 4 2- Ca 2+ Concentration nucleation K sp SO 2- Saturation 4 Ca 2+ state Saturation
10 Precipitation expected in 6 hours. No visible change after 6 days. Blue dye added. Migrating barrier. Chemical asymmetry? Density driven?
11 Double diffusion in gel columns CaCl 2 gel NaHCO 3 or NaH 2 PO 4 Diffusion-driven mixing zone/precipitation Hypotheses concern chemical asymmetry, reaction front focusing and migration Implications: Utility of predictions based on volume averages Sensing and data interpretation challenges
12 Carbonate vs. phosphate systems CO 3 2- Ca 2+.1M.1M PO 4 3- Ca 2+
13 Carbonate vs. phosphate systems Ca 2+ :PO 4 3- Ca 2+ :CO 3 2-
14 Carbonate system: model simulations HCO 3 - CaCO 3(s)
15 Phosphate system banding: Model simulations CaHPO 4 2H 2 O Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 OH 2
16 Ion ratios vary within mixing zones A B Traditional precipitation rate models consider only the saturation state, not the ratio of the component ions: Rate = k ( 1 Ω) n B A where Ω = { Ca }{ CO K so } However, precipitation rates and precipitate phase/morphology depend on ion ratio = Implications for pore filling, and solid solution chemistry
17 CaCO 3 precipitation kinetics at constant saturation (Ω~12) but variable ion ratio Max precipitation rate observed where log(r) = (CO 3 2- )/(Ca 2+ ) ~ - 0.6

45 Sensing: Complex Resistivity
46 Complex resistivity (CR, a.k.a. induced polarization) Interfacial polarization Electrolytic conduction Interfacial polarization NH 4,Na, H +, OH - Adsorption (Ca, Sr) CO Na, H + - Desorption Distribution of charge Source Current V+ V- E = 0 E = 0 V + V - Potential Phase Shift Time Amplitude
47 Urea Hydrolysis Mediated Calcite Precipitation Experiment: CR response Urea hydrolysis Polarization (σ ) Bulk conductivity (S/m) Urea stage 1 hydrolysis Conduction (σ ) stage 2 Urea hydrolysis and CaCO 3 ppt Z1 real (S/m) Z2 real (S/m) Z3 real (S/m) Z4 real (S/m) Z5 real (S/m) Z6 real (S/m) Z7 real (S/m) Z8 real (S/m) Time (minutes) Conduction and polarization mechanisms are sensitive to urea hydrolysis and precipitation processes. Processes driving the increases in phase delay during stage 1 (urea hydrolysis only) are likely responsible for the increases in bulk conductivity in hydrolyzing zones. Interfacial polarization (IP) methods offer potential for tracking reaction fronts
