Hydrogeochemical Characteristics of the Haiyuan-Liupanshan Seismic Belt at the Northeastern Edge of the Tibet Plateau by Xinyan Li, Xiaopeng Liu, Jianguo Du, Yueju Cui, Fengxia Sun

“…The higher concentrations of Ca2+ + Mg2+ and HCO3- were found in Group 2, which is located in the southeast of the HLFZ and may be attributed to carbonate weathering and the recharge of karst fissure water from ordovician dolomite and limestone. Contamination of groundwater in HLFZ is severe, with 78.6% of the sites classified as grade V, which means they cannot be used for drinking water or agriculture. …”

CO₂ Sequestration in a Carbonate Saline Aquifer: An Investigation into the Roles of Natural Fractures and Well Placement by Abdulrahim K. Al Mulhim, Mojdeh Delshad, Kamy Sepehrnoori

“…The geochemical interactions between the injected CO₂ and reservoir fluids and minerals reduce the free and trapped CO₂ quantities by dissolving calcite and precipitating dolomite. Furthermore, natural fractures impact the CO₂ quantities during early times only when the fractures cross the top layers. …”

The Accumulation Characteristics of the Paleozoic Reservoir in the Central-Southern Ordos Basin Recorded by Organic Inclusions by Ruijing Zhu, Rongxi Li, Xiaoli Wu, Xiaoli Qin, Bangsheng Zhao, Futian Liu, Di Zhao

“…The results have suggested two phases of fluid inclusions in both the Permian sandstone and the Ordovician Majiagou Formation dolomite reservoirs, and the fluid inclusions recorded the history from the early thermal evolution of hydrocarbon generation to the formation, migration, and accumulation of natural gas. …”

Experimental study on the impact of perpendicular and parallel bedding planes on the physical and geomechanical characteristics of carbonate rocks by Ahmed K. Abd El-Aal, Ahmed E. Radwan, Jabir Hussain, Mahrous A. M. Ali

“…The most pronounced recorded diagenetic features in the Khoman, Ain Giffara, and El-Heiz formations are cementation, followed by recrystallization, dolomitization, neomorphism, and micritization. Significant correlations were discovered, particularly between the UCS, SHR, and acoustic velocities. …”

Impact of rock mineralogy on reactive transport of CO2 during carbon sequestration in a saline aquifer by Mohamed Gamal Rezk, Ahmed Farid Ibrahim

“…Conversely, minerals like Calcite and Kaolinite positively correlated with CO2 solubility, with correlations of + 0.21 and + 0.23 respectively, without significantly promoting its conversion into mineral forms, while Quartz, K-Feldspar, and Dolomite show minor effects on CO2 trapping mechanisms. …”

Performance of sewage sludge reuse in the manufacturing of fired bricks by K. Moulato, M. Ammari, L. Ben Allal

“…The brick samples were then shaped, dried, fired at 930 Celsius degree, and qualified by tests, including linear and mass shrinkage, porosity, water absorption, density, compressive strength, X-ray diffraction, and leaching.FINDINGS: The analyses by X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction of the sludge revealed the presence of mineral constituents, including calcite, silica, kaolinite, and dolomite and shows an important amount of silicon dioxide (31.6 percent) and aluminum oxide (11.5 percent). …”
