  Experimental Methods and Progress of CO₂-Brine-Rock Interactions for CO₂ Storage in Saline Aquifers
  Author(s): Qian Chen, Jian Hou*, Bei Wei, Jiahe Sun and Qingjun Du
  
  The greenhouse effect caused by excessive CO2 emissions is a great challenge facing the world, and CO2 geological storage in saline aquifers is an effective way to solve this problem because of its great storage potential. The injection of CO2 into saline aquifers interacts with brine and rock, leading to complex physical and chemical reactions, which have a direct impact on the safety of CO2 storage. This review synthesizes findings from recent researches, particularly focusing on experimental studies of CO2-brine-rock interactions. Through a detailed review of both static dissolution and dynamic flow experiments, CO2-brine-rock interaction mechanisms and the influence of fluid/rock interactions on properties of brine and rock are elucidated. Meanwhile, this review points out that innovative experimental methods are ne.. View more»
