RESUMO
In the process of acidizing carbonate reservoirs, dissolution is employed for reservoir modification to enhance recovery rates. This study establishes a numerical model at the pore scale for acid-rock reaction flow based on a microscopic continuum medium model, integrating phase-field theory and component transport models. Subsequently, the results of the Darcy-Brinkman-Stokes model are compared to those of the arbitrary Lagrange-Euler method to validate the accuracy of the model. Finally, the flow behavior of the acid solution at the pore scale and the complex dissolution mechanisms in carbonate reservoirs are analyzed. The research indicates that the microscopic pore-scale dissolution in carbonate reservoirs mainly manifests as five dissolution modes: uniform dissolution, compact dissolution, conical wormholes, dominant wormhole, and ramified wormholes. Different distributions of microfractures will alter the flow state of the acid solution and the rock-acid reaction process within the pores. Once the wormhole breakthrough occurs, there is an increased probability of acid flow through the wormhole to the outlet, leading to a decrease in the effectiveness of the acidizing carbonate reservoirs. A proper understanding of pore-scale acid-rock reaction laws is of great significance for the development of carbonate oil and gas reservoirs.
RESUMO
Rechargeable Mg batteries are a promising energy storage technology to overcome the limitations inherent to Li ion batteries. A critical challenge in advancing Mg batteries is the lack of suitable cathode materials. In this work, we report a cathode design that incorporates S functionality into two-dimensional metal-organic-frameworks (2D-MOFs). This new cathode material enables good Mg2+ storage capacity and outstanding cyclability. It was found that upon the initial Mg2+ insertion and disinsertion, there is an apparent structural transformation that crumbles the layered 2D framework, leading to amorphization. The resulting material serves as the active material to host Mg2+ through reduction and/or oxidation of S and, to a limited extent, O. The reversible nature of S and O redox chemistry was confirmed by spectroscopic characterizations and validated by density functional calculations. Importantly, during the Mg2+ insertion and disinsertion process, the 2D nature of the framework was maintained, which plays a key role in enabling the high reversibility of the MOF cathode.
