Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of geological science and engineering technology, and particularly to a method and device for quantifying the chemical and physical erosion of rocks. Background Art
[0002] The weathering and erosion of rocks are closely related to the evolution of the topography of the earth's surface, the development of karst caves in karst areas, the durability and stability of engineering buildings, the global carbon cycle and climate change, and the release and migration of underground pollutants. Since rocks are aggregates of multiple minerals formed under complex geological processes, there are obvious differences between the strong cementation state between mineral particles and the weak cementation state between soil particles. At present, the measurement method for soil erosion mainly calculates its physical erosion rate by monitoring the change in soil volume. The degree of chemical reaction between soil particles and fluid is relatively low and is often ignored. For rocks, the erosion of rocks by the external environment (such as fluid action) is divided into two categories: physical erosion and chemical dissolution. Among them, chemical dissolution mainly refers to the chemical reaction of soluble minerals in rocks with water and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, inducing the dissolution of rock minerals and destroying the cementation between minerals; physical erosion refers to the processes such as abrasion and migration of rock mineral particles under the shear action of fluid. Under seepage conditions, rocks will be affected by both chemical dissolution and physical erosion. At present, the measurement methods for rock erosion rate often rely on the method of scanning and reconstructing the morphology of the rock wall surface. By comparing the geometric morphology differences of the rock wall surface before and after erosion, the wall recession rate and the overall rock erosion rate are calculated. However, this method can only measure the overall rock erosion rate (including chemical dissolution and physical erosion), and it is difficult to separate the two.
[0003] Due to the significant differences in the mineral composition and distribution of different rocks, how to quickly quantify the contributions of the chemical dissolution rate and physical erosion rate of rocks to the total rock erosion rate in the laboratory is of great significance for the accurate calculation of the erosion degree in karst areas, the precise prediction of the evolution of the earth's morphology, and the time assessment of the development of underground rock leakage channels. For example, during the geological sequestration of carbon dioxide, the injected CO 2 will react with the original brine in the sequestration site to generate carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3 ), and then erode the fractured rock (CaCO 3 +H 2 CO 3 =Ca 2+ +2HCO 3 -). Currently, classical theories often only consider the chemical dissolution rate and it is difficult to accurately predict the physical erosion rate, thus underestimating the total erosion rate and resulting in potential risks in the process of CO 2 geological sequestration.
[0004] Based on this, there is an urgent need for a new solution to solve the above problems, so as to quickly quantify the chemical and physical erosion volumes of rocks in the laboratory, and then quantify the rock erosion rate, and achieve the goal of calibrating the internal relationship between the physical erosion rate and the chemical dissolution rate in different rocks.

[0045] Using the present invention to test different rocks can achieve the goal of calibrating the internal relationship between the physical erosion rate and the chemical corrosion rate in different rocks.
[0046] In some embodiments, in Step 1, the rock model is encapsulated in the microfluidic chip 2 and both ends of the fracture are respectively communicated with the liquid inlet channel and the liquid outlet channel of the microfluidic chip 2. It can be understood that at least part of the microfluidic chip 2 is made of a transparent material to facilitate observing the change of the fracture state on the rock model outside the microfluidic chip 2.
[0047] It can be understood that the liquid inlet channel and the liquid outlet channel of the microfluidic chip 2 have interface structures to facilitate liquid inlet and outlet by connecting with pipelines.
[0048] In this embodiment, seepage-erosion experiments are carried out in a microfluidic model. Compared with in-situ rock erosion experiments, this microfluidic experimental method is fast and economical.
[0049] In some embodiments, the scheme of establishing a rock model and encapsulating the rock model in the microfluidic chip 2 can be fabricated by the method of Chinese Patent Application CN201910238487.X - A Microfluidic Chip 2 for the Study of Chemical Corrosion in Geological Processes. Before encapsulating the microfluidic chip 2, the thickness of the rock model slice, that is, the length of the crack, is measured and denoted as h. 0 Among them, the rock model in this scheme is the microfluidic chip body in Chinese Patent Application CN201910238487.X.
[0050] Specifically, the microfluidic chip 2 in this embodiment includes a microfluidic chip body (i.e., the rock model) with microchannels arranged horizontally in parallel, and also includes an upper base layer, a middle base layer, a lower base layer, an upper adhesive layer, and a lower adhesive layer; the upper base layer, the upper adhesive layer, the middle base layer, the lower adhesive layer, and the lower base layer are arranged horizontally in parallel with the chip body from top to bottom. The middle base layer horizontally penetrates the chip body and divides it into an upper half and a lower half. The upper base layer and the upper adhesive layer are both located above the middle base layer; the lower adhesive layer and the lower base layer are both located below the middle base layer; there are also a liquid injection port, a liquid outlet port, and a drainage channel (an inlet liquid channel and an outlet liquid channel) arranged horizontally in the middle base layer; the liquid injection port and the liquid outlet port both vertically penetrate the upper base layer, the upper adhesive layer, and the middle base layer, and are both communicated with the drainage channel (the inlet liquid channel and the outlet liquid channel).
[0051] Both the upper adhesive layer and the lower adhesive layer are made of ultraviolet photosensitive glue; the material of the microfluidic chip body is a rock slice.
[0052] In some embodiments, in step two, before encapsulating the rock model, the crack length is measured and denoted as h. 0 , after encapsulation, the cross-sectional image of the crack is observed by a microscope with a camera, and the cross-sectional image data of the crack is collected into the data acquisition computer 6. According to the image, the cross-sectional area A of the rock crack is calculated. 0 , and then the initial volume of the rock crack is obtained and denoted as V. 0 =A 0 *h 0 . When establishing the crack, the cross-section of the crack is set to be the same everywhere, which is beneficial to calculating the crack volume.
[0053] In some embodiments, a high-precision CT can also be used to replace the microscope with a camera to detect the cross-sectional image information of the crack.
[0054] In some embodiments, in step three, the microfluidic chip 2 is placed on a visualization experiment platform for a fracture erosion test. An erosion liquid doped with a fluorescent agent is injected into the microfluidic chip 2 by an injection pump 1 to erode the rock fracture. During the injection process, the erosion liquid will erode the rock and carry out minerals. When the erosion has proceeded for a period of time △t, the injection is stopped. Subsequently, air is injected by the injection pump 1 to discharge all the dissolved solutions remaining in the microfluidic chip 2, and the discharged dissolved solution is collected at the outlet with a liquid collecting tube 4. A filter 3 is arranged between the liquid collecting tube 4 and the outlet of the microfluidic chip 2 to filter out insoluble mineral particles of physical erosion. During the experiment, a data acquisition computer 6 and an inverted fluorescence microscope 7 are used to record the geometric structure images of the rock fracture in real time.
[0055] In some embodiments, in step four, an ion chromatograph 5 is used to measure the molar amounts of various ions in the liquid collecting tube 4. According to the molar amounts of each ion measured by the ion chromatograph 5, combined with the known soluble mineral composition of the rock, the molar amounts Ni of various soluble minerals are analyzed, where i represents the i-th mineral. Furthermore, the volume of the chemically eroded part of the rock is calculated: Vchemical = ∑Ni·Vmol,i, where Vmol,i is the molar volume of the i-th mineral. In some embodiments, the measurement of the concentrations or molar amounts of various ions in the liquid collecting tube 4 can also be changed to detect by measuring the pH. However, the accuracy of pH measurement will be affected by external conditions. By measuring the pH to first measure the amount of hydrogen ions, and then calculating the total amounts of calcium, magnesium and other ions, and further calculating the volume of the chemically eroded part of the rock.
[0056] In some embodiments, in step five, a fluorescence microscope and a data acquisition computer 6 are used to record the relevant parameters of the rock fracture in the final state and calculate the area A of the rock fracture f , calculate the final fracture volume V f = A f * h 0 , and further calculate the total volume V of the rock eroded by the acid solution tot = V f - V 0 * h 0 .
[0057] In some embodiments, in step six: calculate the physical erosion volume of the rock and establish a proportional relationship between the physical erosion and the chemical erosion volume: V physical = V tot - V chemical , C correction = V physical / V chemical .
[0058] In some embodiments, the chemical erosion rate, the physical erosion rate and the total erosion rate are calculated by combining the erosion time and the erosion volume.
