Abstract
This study elucidates the possibility of CO2 injection-induced formation of a complex cloud-fracture network (CFN) in granite, along with shearing (shear slip) of natural pre-existing fractures under conventional (~ 150–300 °C) and superhot (> ~ 400 °C) geothermal conditions, potentially providing additional connecting flow paths between the stimulated natural fractures. Here, we conduct a set of experiments under triaxial stress states at 150 °C and 450 °C on cylindrical granite samples containing a sawcut (representing a natural fracture) inclined 45° from the sample’s axis. CO2 injection induced dynamic shear slip on the sawcut, with higher slip velocities at 150 °C owing to the higher elasticity of the rock than that at 450 °C. The lower viscosity of CO2 also allowed it to more uniformly pressurize the sawcut, resulting in higher slip velocities and slip displacements compared with those based on water injection in the 150 °C experiments. This implies that under conventional geothermal conditions, CO2 injection can stimulate the same volume of rock as that of water injection at lower injection-well pressures. The CFNs then formed via CO2 injection at pressures similar to those predicted by the Griffith failure criterion as the sawcut shear slip progressed at both experimental temperatures. The experiments also revealed potential challenges associated with CO2 injection in naturally fractured geothermal environments, such as narrow aperture CFNs, owing to decreasing differential stress during their formation; all these factors should be addressed in future research.

Enhanced weathering of industrial Ca-rich silicate byproducts in croplands is potentially profitable for large-scale atmospheric CO2 removal; during the weathering process, CO2 dissolves to form HCO3− and CO32− in alkaline soil pore water, which eventually flows into the ocean. However, the effectiveness of such systems is still in doubt, owing to the unrealistic models used for prediction and the insufficient consideration of the dynamic influences of soils on fluid chemistry. We determined the effectiveness of such systems for atmospheric CO2 removal, along with their characteristics, through a set of batch- and flow-through-type laboratory experiments, using andosol and decomposed granite soil as agricultural and non-agricultural soils, respectively, and Portland cement, steelmaking slag, and coal fly ash as industrial byproducts. The results of the batch-type experiments demonstrated that agricultural soils were suitable for CO2 removal, owing to their moderately high pH and Ca concentrations in pore water that prevented intensive calcium carbonate precipitation. The flow-through experiments demonstrated that a higher Ca-content byproduct can have a large atmospheric CO2 removal capacity. However, the magnitude of CO2 removal and its time-dependent behavior were difficult to predict because they were not in conjunction with the changes in the average pH value. This indicated that the diffusive transport of CO2 from the atmosphere-soil interface to deeper soils was more complex than expected. Maximizing CO2 removal requires a better understanding of the diffusive transport of CO2 through gas-filled pore spaces, created by unsteady-state air–water two-phase flow, due to intermittent rainfall.

Gold (Au) mining area is known to be one of the major sources of toxic elements; however, the potential risks of toxic elements from abandoned Au mines to the surrounding river basin districts and human exposure pathways to toxic elements need to be clarified. In this study, the distribution and mobilities of nine toxic elements (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Sb, Zn, Cr, Ni and V) in Kesennuma City, Tohoku Region in Japan, a typical Au-mining district with several river basins, were studied through a geochemical survey (including element total concentrations and water-/acid-leaching concentrations determinations, as well as GB calculations), and environmental assessment on these elements in soil, river sediment, and river water samples from the study area. The contamination evaluation by index of geo-accumulation (Igeo) and enrichment factor (EF) suggested that As, Cu, Ni and Sb enrichments were greatly observed in the vicinity of the abandoned Au mines; moreover, calculated GB upper values for Cu in the river sediment surpass that of Tohoku Region. It has been found in this study that each element has particular mobility, which eventually influences its exposure pathway to humans. For instance, As in soil and sediment poses adverse non-carcinogenic risks and unacceptable carcinogenic risks to especially children mainly through groundwater ingestion. To minimize the potential risks associated with exposure to toxic elements in Au-mining districts, effective risk management measures should be implemented around river system by Au-mining companies even after their long-time closures, based on the consideration of each element’s mobility.

Abstract
Understanding the diffusive transport behavior of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in near-surface soils is important because soil VOC emissions affect atmospheric conditions and climate. Previous studies have suggested that temperature changes affect the transport behavior; however, the effect of these changes are poorly understood. Indeed, under dynamic temperature conditions, the change in VOC flux is much larger than that expected from the temperature dependency of the diffusion coefficient of VOCs in air. However, the mechanism is not well understood, although water in soil has been considered to play an important role. Here, we present the results of experiments for the upward vertical vapor-phase diffusive transport of two VOCs (benzene and tetrachloroethylene) in sandy soil under sinusoidal temperature variations of 20–30 °C, as well as its numerical representation. The results clarify that the unexpectedly large changes in emission flux can occur as a result of changes in the VOC concentration gradient due to VOC release (volatilization) from/trapping (dissolution) into water, and that such flux changes may occur in various environments. This study suggests the importance of a global evaluation of soil VOC emissions by continuous measurements in various soil environments and/or predictions through numerical simulations with thorough consideration of the role of water in dynamic soil environments.

Environmental Earth Sciences, 巻:81, 号:5, 2022年03月
Soil pollution by heavy metals is increasing continuously in developing countries due to industrial activities such as mining. This study addresses the distribution, potential risk to human health, and ecological risk of heavy metals (Cu, Ni, Cr, Co and Zn) taken from the soil in the vicinity of a relinquished Cu–Ni mine in Selibe Phikwe, Botswana. Furthermore, source apportionment of heavy metals was also conducted through Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF). The geochemical analysis results showed that the mean Cu, Ni, Cr, Pb, Co and Zn concentrations in the soil reached 141.65, 132.30, 87.64, 4.30, 8.97 and 37.15 mg/kg, respectively. Although Hazard Quotient (HQ) calculations results suggest that non-cancerous risks of the target heavy metals are low under the present conditions, the Hazard Index (HI) calculation results indicate a potential non-carcinogenic risk of Cr (HI > 1) for children. The mean values for cancer risk (CRtotal) also reached 3.00 × 10–5 in children and 5.59 × 10–5 in adults. The findings also suggested a potential ecological risk resulting from Cu and Ni in the region. The PMF model effectively revealed that Pb, Zn, and Co were mainly geologic, while anthropogenic sources were primarily responsible for the Cr, Ni, and Cu enrichment in soils. This study suggests that inexpensive risk mitigation efforts such as phyto-capping should be implemented, particularly in areas with slag piles and tailings dams.

Soil moisture is a key factor for mercury (Hg) emission from soil. Despite its significance for Hg emissions, the effect of soil moisture on Hg flux and fractions has not been thoroughly investigated. The objective of this study was to elucidate the influences of soil moisture and temperature on Hg fluxes from soils and Hg fractions. A kinetic study was performed to measure Hg emission fluxes of six soil samples under different temperature (T) (15 °C, 20 °C, 25 °C, 30 °C, and 35 °C) and moisture conditions (0%, 10%, and 20% added water). The results showed that the Hg fluxes increased with increases in T and soil moisture. A linear correlation was found between ln (Hg emission flux) and 1/T for the six soil samples at different moisture contents (R2 = 0.73–0.99). The range of activation energy (Ea) values was 25.31–57.86 kJ/mol. The Hg fractions in soils of different moisture content were determined by a sequential extraction method. The results demonstrated that soil moisture affected the Hg fractions in soils. The Ea values had different relationships with soil moisture in different soils. There were correlations between Ea and the elemental and mercuric sulfide fractions for air-dried soils. However, for moist soils, Ea was negatively correlated with the water-soluble and acid-soluble fractions. Collectively, the combination of the Hg emission kinetics and Hg fraction measurement of different moist soils indicated that Hg emission was affected by both total Hg concentration and Hg fractions.

This study explored a key challenge of aqueous indirect CO2 mineralization: the consumption of chemicals for a large pH swing between acidic and alkaline conditions and the production of waste fluid. Herein, we proposed and experimentally examined the technical feasibility of a sustainable process for enhanced CO2 mineralization using a new potentially recyclable alkaline solution of chelating agent [N,N-dicarboxymethyl glutamic acid (GLDA)] at near-room temperatures. This process comprising the following: enhanced Ca extraction from silicates with suppressed formation of silica-rich passivation layer via the combined actions of proton and chelating agent attacks at weakly alkaline conditions; Ca carbonation using sodium carbonate at high pH and temperature; and regeneration of the extraction solution (i.e., a decrease in pH and silicon removal) via CO2 gas dissolution. Ca extraction experiments using representative calcium silicate (CaSiO3) at various GLDA concentrations and initial pHs under 50 °C demonstrated the possibility of enhanced Ca extraction with almost all GLDA molecules combining with Ca (Ca/GLDA≈1) at an optimum condition (0.1 M GLDA and pH 8 in this study). This type of extraction is desirable as it contributes to an efficient Ca carbonation in addition to a decreased stability of the Ca-GLDA complex; indeed, most of the extracted Ca were carbonated to aragonite at 80 °C. Moreover, such extraction with the relatively low pH of 8 was found to be desirable for solution regeneration that involves pH adjustment (reduction) because of low silica solubility at lower pH. It was demonstrated that room-temperature CO2 bubbling removed almost all Si as amorphous SiO2, during which CO2 captured as NaHCO3 was also occurring. The recyclability of extraction solution was also demonstrated in this paper. This study encourages further extensive studies to optimize reaction conditions, particularly for using alkaline solid wastes, to make the process both technically and economically feasible.

Complex cloud-fracture networks, favorable for enhanced geothermal system reservoir development, were shown to be able to be achieved in granite under superhot geothermal conditions, with temperatures of approximately 400-500 degrees C, by injecting low-viscosity water at these temperatures. Nonetheless, water utilization has several drawbacks, such as its reactivity with rock-forming minerals. Carbon dioxide (CO2), which has a low viscosity similar to that of the low-viscosity water under both superhot and lower-temperature conventional geothermal conditions, is a proposed replacement to overcome these challenges. This low viscosity of CO2 motivates its application to create cloud-fracture networks under various geothermal conditions. The present study, for the first time, demonstrated the formation of cloud-fracture networks in granite under both geothermal conditions through a set of CO2 fracturing experiments conducted from 200 to 450 degrees C under conventional and true triaxial stress states. The Griffith failure criterion was shown to be applicable for the formation of a cloud-fracture network in both geothermal conditions because it indicated that the fracture network was formed by the stimulation of pre-existing microfractures. The formation of cloud-fracture networks has potential advantages, such as additional fracturing in the presence of sizable natural fractures and a lower risk of induced seismicity; however, CO2 fracturing has the challenge of narrower fracture apertures under conventional geothermal conditions, which should be addressed in future research.

Scientific Reports, 巻:11, 号:1, 2021年12月Abstract Improving geothermal systems through hydraulic stimulation to create highly permeable fractured rocks can induce seismicity. Therefore, the technique must be applied at a moderate intensity; this has led to concerns of insufficient permeability enhancement. Adding chemical stimulation can mitigate these issues, but traditional methods using strong mineral acids have challenges in terms of achieving mineral dissolution over long distances and highly variable fluid chemistry. Here, we demonstrate a novel chemical stimulation method for improving the permeability of rock fractures using a chelating agent that substantially enhances the dissolution rate of specific minerals to create voids that are sustained under crustal stress without the challenges associated with the traditional methods. Applying this agent to fractured granite samples under confining stress at 200 °C in conjunction with 20 wt% aqueous solutions of sodium salts of environmentally friendly chelating agents (N -(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine-N ,N ′,N ′-triacetic acid andN, N -bis(carboxymethyl)-l -glutamic acid) at pH 4 was assessed. A significant permeability enhancement of up to approximately sixfold was observed within 2 h, primarily due to the formation of voids based on the selective dissolution of biotite. These results demonstrate a new approach for chemical stimulation.

The model considers a series of phenomena under the unsaturated condition such as multi-phase flow consisting of a non-aqueous phase liquid, water, and gases together with the permeation of rainfall into the surface soil, the volatilization/condensation of VCSs, and the adsorption/desorption of VCSs. On this basis, this work clarified a mechanism for the generation of a volatilization flux at the ground surface. In addition, the effects of various transport phenomena in the surface soil on the magnitude and seasonal changes in this flux due to variations in weather factors such as rainfall level, temperature, and air pressure were quantitatively evaluated. This newly developed prediction model can be utilized to estimate dynamic variations in the flux under real-environmental conditions.

The characteristics of groundwater pollution caused by illegal waste dumping and methods for predicting and remediating it are still poorly understood. Serious 1,4-dioxane groundwater pollution—which has multiple sources—has been occurring at an illegal waste dumping site in the Tohoku region of Japan. So far, anti-pollution countermeasures have been taken including the installation of an impermeable wall and the excavation of soils and waste as well as the monitoring of contamination concentrations. The objective of this numerical study was to clarify the possibility of predicting pollutant transport in such dynamic and complex hydrologic environments, and to investigate the characteristics of pollutant transport under both naturally occurring and artificially induced groundwater flow (i.e., pumping for remediation). We first tried to reproduce the changes in 1,4-dioxane concentrations in groundwater observed in monitoring wells using a quasi-3D flow and transport simulation considering the multiple sources and spatiotemporal changes in hydrologic conditions. Consequently, we were able to reproduce the long-term trends of concentration changes in each monitoring well. With the predicted pollutant distribution, we conducted simulations for remediation such as pollutant removal using pumping wells. The results of the prediction and remediation simulations revealed the highly complex nature of 1,4-dioxane transport in the dumping site under both naturally occurring and artificially induced groundwater flows. The present study suggests possibilities for the prediction and remediation of pollution at illegal waste dumping sites, but further extensive studies are encouraged for better prediction and remediation.

Landfill site selection is problematic in many countries, especially developing nations where there is rapid population growth, which leads to high levels of inadequate waste disposal. To find sustainable landfill sites in sprawling cities, this study presents an approach that combines geographic information system (GIS) with multi-criteria (social, environmental and, technical criteria) and the population growth projection. The greater Maputo area in Mozambique was selected as a representative city for the study, which is undergoing rapid urbanization. Six criteria, i.e., land use, transport networks, hydrology, conservation reserve, geology and slope, were considered and overlaid in the GIS using an analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The arithmetic projection of the population trend suggests that the greater Maputo area is experiencing a rapid and uncontrolled population growth, especially in Matola city. These pronounced changes in population then significantly change the landfill placement decision making. Dynamic and static scenarios were created, based on the analysis of multi-criteria and the areas likely to undergo future increased population growth. A comparative evaluation in a scenario of dynamic behavior considering future population showed that suitable areas for landfill sites have been drastically modified due to social and environmental factors affected by population distribution in some regions. The results indicate that some suitable areas can generate land use conflicts due to population growth with unplanned land use expansion. Finally, the western part of Matola city is recognized as the most recommendable landfill site, which can serve both Maputo and Matola city with affordable costs. This study provides an effective landfill placement decision making approach, which is possible to be applied anywhere, especially in developing countries to improve sustainable municipal solid waste management systems.

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 巻:11, 号:1, 2021年07月
Among the CaCO3 polymorphs, aragonite demonstrates a better performance as a filler material in the paper and plastic industries. Despite being ideal from the environmental protection perspective, the production of aragonite particles via CO2 mineralization of rocks is hindered by the difficulty in achieving high production efficiencies and purities, which, however, can be mitigated by exploiting the potential ability of chelating agents on metal ions extraction and carbonation controlling. Herein, chelating agent N,N-dicarboxymethyl glutamic acid (GLDA) was used to enhance the extraction of Ca from calcium silicate and facilitate the production of aragonite particles during the subsequent Ca carbonation. CO2 mineralization was promoted in the presence of 0.01-0.1 M GLDA at <= 80 degrees C, with the maximal CaCO3 production efficiency reached 308 g/kg of calcium silicate in 60 min using 0.03 M GLDA, which is 15.5 times higher than that without GLDA. In addition, GLDA showed excellent effects on promoting aragonite precipitation, e.g., the content of aragonite was only 5.1% in the absence of GLDA at 50 degrees C, whereas highly pure (>90%, increased by a factor of 18) and morphologically uniform aragonite was obtained using >= 0.05 M GLDA under identical conditions. Aragonite particle morphologies could also be controlled by varying the GLDA concentration and carbonation temperature. This study proposed a carbon-negative aragonite production method, demonstrated the possibility of enhanced and controlled aragonite particle production during the CO2 mineralization of calcium silicates in the presence of chelating agents.

SUSTAINABILITY, 巻:13, 号:12, 2021年06月
The quantitative understanding of the transport behavior of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in near-surface soils is highly important in light of the potential impacts of soil VOC emissions on the air quality and climate. Previous studies have suggested that temperature changes affect the transport behavior; however, the effects are not well understood. Indeed, much larger changes in the VOC flux under in situ dynamic temperatures than those expected from the temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficients of VOCs in the air have been suggested but rarely investigated experimentally. Here, we present the results of a set of experiments on the upward vertical vapor-phase diffusive transport of benzene and trichloroethylene (TCE) in sandy soils with water contents ranging from an air-dried value to 10 wt% during sinusoidal temperature variation between 20 and 30 degrees C. In all experiments, the flux from the soil surface was correlated with the temperature, as expected. However, the changes in flux under wet conditions were unexpectedly large and increased with increasing water content; they were also larger for TCE, the volatility of which depended more strongly on the temperature. Additionally, the larger flux changes were accompanied by a recently discovered water-induced inverse correlation between temperature and flux into the overlying soil. These results demonstrated that the flux changes of VOCs under dynamic temperatures could be increased by volatilization-dissolution interactions of VOCs with water. Future extensive studies on this newly discovered phenomenon would contribute to a better understanding of the impacts of soil VOC emissions on the air quality and climate.

This study aims to investigate the targeting behavior of a gas phase consisting of multicomponent and gas-water multi-phase flow assumed in an in situ low-temperature oxidation (LTO) process as an enhanced gas recovery from a methane hydrate (MH) reservoir. Experimental and numerical studies on MH dissociation in porous media by simultaneous injection of N-2 and hot water were carried out. It can be confirmed based on experimental results that the equilibrium temperature as a result of the decrease of the molar fraction of methane gas (CH4) in the gas phase with N-2 injection was maintained at a lower level so that dissociated CH4 production was completed earlier. In addition, based on the experimental observation of change of equilibrium temperature, the interfacial model of MH for the estimation of fugacity change was constructed and introduced into the numerical model. The history matching for temperature change, permeability characteristics, and CH4 production during simultaneous injection process was subsequently conducted. Through the optimization of each parameter, it was found that the calculated results could reproduce a series of behaviors quantitatively. As a result, from the viewpoint of the behavior of the gas phase consisting of multicomponents on MH dissociation, the validity of a numerical model developed for an in situ LTO process has been confirmed.

Superhot geothermal environments with temperatures of approximately 400-500 degrees C at depths of approximately 2-4 km are attracting attention as new kind of geothermal resource. In order to effectively exploit the superhot geothermal resource through the creation of enhanced geothermal systems (superhot EGSs), hydraulic fracturing is a promising technique. Laboratory-scale hydraulic fracturing experiments of granite have recently demonstrated the formation of a dense network of permeable fractures throughout the entire rock body, referred to as a cloud-fracture network, at or near the supercritical temperature for water. Although the process has been presumed to involve continuous infiltration of low-viscosity water into preexisting microfractures followed by creation and merger of the subsequent fractures, a plausible criterion for cloud-fracture network formation is yet to be clarified. The applicability of the Griffith failure criterion is supported by hydraulic fracturing experiments with acoustic emission measurements of granite at 400 degrees C under true triaxial stress and at 450 degrees C under conventional triaxial stress. The present study provides, for the first time, a theoretical basis required to establish the procedure for hydraulic fracturing in the superhot EGS.

HELIYON, 巻:7, 号:5, 2021年05月
River sediments have the effect of aggregating geochemical environmental information, such as that related to geological and artificial pollution resulting from mine closure. This information comprises high-dimensional data and is related to the distribution and quantities of elements in river sediments. However, accessing and interpreting this geochemical information can be difficult. This study employed a data-driven analysis that can be mathematically and statistically reduced in dimension. Using high-dimensional geochemical and environmental information on river sediments, this study evaluated the environmental impact of closed mines. Sample for analysis were collected from three rivers. There are differences in the existence of mines and mine wastewater treatment methods in this river. A total of 33 elements were measured in river sediments. Frequency distribution analysis and Principal component analysis revealed that the elements had unique distribution and frequency characteristics in each river catchment. Four environmental factors could be extracted from the relationship of elements due to lower dimension. PC1 was influenced by the land use in the river area. PC2 captured the geological background. PC3 captured the mixing-diluting effect that occurs in rivers. PC4 effectively captured the effects of domestic wastewater and the effects of closed mines. The effects of the closed mines could be confirmed using the PC4 score for the Okawa River and the Akagawa River. By examining the elemental relationships obtained using these mathematical methods, it is possible to infer the effect of geological features and mines on sediment physiochemistry using existing data on river sediments.

APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL, 巻:11, 号:8, 2021年04月
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in contaminated soils have been investigated in near-surface environments to describe their transport behaviors and the resultant impacts of vapor intrusion into buildings. Prior studies have suggested that temperature changes significantly influence such transport behaviors in near-surface soils; however, the nature of these influences and their mechanisms have remained unclear. This is because an inverse correlation between the in situ temperature and VOC flux changes has been suggested but has not been experimentally investigated or demonstrated. Herein, we show the results of a set of experiments on the vertical and upward vapor-phase diffusive transport of benzene in sandy soils for different sand grain size and water content combinations under sinusoidal temperature changes between 20 and 30 degrees C. Under all experimental conditions, changes in the flux from the soil surface correlated with temperature changes, whereas changes in the flux into the overlying soil showed inverse correlations. Concurrent monitoring of the relative humidity revealed that an inverse correlation was exhibited in response to the condensation and volatilization of water. Moreover, the intensity of the inverse correlation was independent of grain size but was larger at higher water contents. Overall, water in soil may induce an inverse correlation.

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT, 巻:193, 号:4, 2021年04月
Coal fly ash (CFA) is a useful recycled resource for uses such as cement raw material. To manage and evaluate safety for effective utilization of CFA, the leaching concentration and amounts of toxic elements in CFA need to be determined. In this study, 38 types of CFA and aged CFA generated in Japan were used to measure the occurrence and leaching concentration range of As and Se. In addition, the leaching characteristics over the long term were examined using statistical analysis. Leaching concentrations of As and Se from CFAs were in the range of 0.001-0.163 mg/L (average: 0.025 mg/L, median: 0.014 mg/L) and 0.001-0.189 mg/L (average: 0.071 mg/L, median: 0.055 mg/L), respectively. In general, the concentrations of aged CFAs were less than those of the CFAs with a few exceptions. Leaching concentrations of As and Se in the tank leaching test changed with time, and As and Se concentrations in the dispersions increased with stirring time. In contrast, pH of the dispersion decreased with time. The relation between As or Se and CFA factors showed that As or Se and pH or Ca were highly correlated. However, in aged CFAs for long-term use, the correlation coefficient for the relation between As and other factors was low while that for Se-S was high. Considering the effective utilization of CFA as a long-term recyclable resource, the leaching processes of As and Se in CFA would change with time depending on the environmental conditions.

Kengo Nakamura; Yuusuke Inoue; Takeshi Komai
JOURNAL OF BUILDING ENGINEERING, 巻:35, 2021年03月
Coal fly ash mixed with cement is a substitute civil engineering material that can secure the physical properties of concrete solidification. The benefits of this substitute were qualitatively evaluated the porosity distribution and phase change and the compressive strength resulting from chemical reactions. Visualization of the 3D porosity distribution of coal fly ash mixed material concrete with different material moisture ratios by X-ray CT is important for this purpose. The specimens were subjected to a uniaxial compression test and the porosity distribution was measured by X-ray CT after 7, 28, and 120 days. The strength at 120 days was 15-23 MPa for all specimens. Porosity increased 2% in all specimens as they aged. From the results of the 3D porosity distribution, specimens with a moisture ratio of 17 or 19 wt% had a porosity of 47% according to the porosity distribution histogram. These specimens also exhibited a porosity distribution with a layered structure. The other specimens (moisture ratio of 21 wt% with different mixing methods) were observed to have no layered structure and numerous large spherical pores. These results suggest that the porosity structure produced by the moisture ratio is important for the strength development of concrete containing coal fly ash. Moreover, a uniform porosity distribution and structure imparted by the correct moisture ratio appears to contribute to long-term strength development by effective chemical reactions in the specimen.

Noriaki Watanabe; Hikaru Abe; Atsushi Okamoto; Kengo Nakamura; Takeshi Komai
SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 巻:11, 号:1, 2021年03月
Superhot geothermal environments in granitic crusts of approximately 400-500 degrees C are a frontier of geothermal energy. In the development of such environments, there is a concern of a reduction of permeability of fractured granite due to the formation of fine particles of amorphous silica induced by the phase change from subcritical water to supercritical water or superheated steam. However, the formation of silica particles and a resultant reduction in permeability have not been demonstrated to date. Therefore, experiments were conducted on the formation of amorphous silica particles with various combinations of temperature (430-500 degrees C) and pressure (20-30 MPa), in which the phase change of Si-containing water from liquid to either supercritical fluid or vapor was induced. Amorphous silica nanoparticles occurred under all conditions with smaller particles for higher temperature. The permeability of fractured granite was also observed to decrease significantly within several hours during injection of the particles into rock at 450 degrees C and 30 MPa under a confining stress of 40 MPa, with slower permeability reduction at a smaller number of particles or in the presence of larger aperture fractures. The present study suggests that the nanoparticles are likely to form and destroy the permeability in superhot geothermal environments, against which countermeasures should be investigated.

CHEMOSPHERE, 巻:263, 2021年01月
The Tohoku region of Japan is geologically diverse, with a long agriculture and mining history; however, little information about the origins and distribution mechanisms of elements in this region has been reported. This study aims to provide fundamental insights into the effects of geological features and anthropogenic activities on various elements, including toxic elements and rare-earth elements (REEs), in the Tohoku region. A geochemical database (2007, AIST) consisting of data for 53 elements in 485 river sediment samples from the region was used, and a data-driven method combining principal component analysis (PCA) was applied for analysis. GBs for numerous types of areas, including general areas (GGB), natural environments (NGB), high anthropogenic-influenced areas (AGB) and mineralised areas (MGB) were established; especially, MGB was newly proposed in this study to illuminate the role of ore deposits. Both PCA and GBs comparison results show that geological features (especially igneous rock distribution) were the most important factor affecting elemental distribution, rather than anthropogenic activities. In the PCA, the first principal component showed that REE resources were commonly associated with the distribution of granitic rocks and REE-bearing minerals. Anthropogenic contaminations from mining, urban, and anthropogenic areas played important roles as the origin of some toxic elements (e.g. Ni, Pb, Sb). Comparisons between these GBs effectively elucidated the enrichment of certain toxic elements (e.g., Hg, Sb) in ore deposit areas. This data-driven study not only clarified the origins of toxic elements, but also revealed the location of potential REE mineral resources in the Tohoku region. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

In this study, to enhance gas recovery from a methane hydrate reservoir, experimental and numerical studies that considered the acid injection process as a secondary gas recovery process after the depressurization operation were conducted. First, we experimentally analyzed the dissociation behavior of propane hydrate (PGH) in porous media by using acid injection and confirmed that the dissociation condition of PGH was shifted to the sides of low temperature and high pressure. This enabled the dissociation to proceed easily as the concentration of the injected acid increased. Then, on the basis of experimental observation, we conducted history matching for the temperature change and gas production behavior during PGH dissociation by acid injection, by varying the initial hydrate saturation, the reaction rate constant for acid consumption, and the intrinsic dissociation rate constant as the calculation parameters. Through history matching, we confirmed the validity of the developed numerical model targeting the dissociation of hydrates in porous media by acid injection.

In this study, a new in situ low-temperature oxidation (LTO) process was developed under the concept of effective utilization of heat generation, resulting from LTO of the injected organic substance (IOS), for the promotion of in situ dissociation of methane hydrate (MH) and the enhancement of gas recovery. When water containing the IOS component and air as an oxidant are injected into the MH reservoir, a high-temperature zone by heat generation is formed under the in situ condition. From this process, in addition to MH dissociation, a numerical model considering multicomponent flow in porous media with LTO reaction was constructed. From the calculation results, it was found that the high-temperature zone formed as a result of heat generation extended to the side of the production well, which promoted MH dissociation. In addition, gas recovery as high as 80% to 100% could be obtained through depressurization and in situ LTO process.

Artificial control of olivine alteration has potential applications for both H-2 production and CO2 reduction (by mineralization and hydrogenation). To explore methods to overcome the still-constrained olivine alteration problem, olivine + spinel alteration experiments were performed with the addition of Mg-Al spinel in CO2-rich (0.5 M NaHCO3) solution under hydrothermal conditions (300 degrees C and 10 MPa). Mg-Al spinel enhanced olivine serpentinization significantly (more than 2 times), and generation of both H-2 and CO2 hydrogenation products was accelerated (up to 3 times) with >= 10 wt% Mg-Al spinel especially at the latter stage of the 72 h reaction.Mineral measurements revealed that more Al released from Mg-Al spinel was incorporated into Al-serpentine by the replacement of Fe with higher Mg-Al spinel content. Both Al and Fe incorporated into Al-serpentine were released as the reaction proceeded. Thus, H-2 production was elevated with the presence of a large amount Mg-Al spinel at the latter stage of the reaction. HCO3 played an important role in the promotion of Mg-Al spinel dissolution with the release of Al, which was stored in magnesite after being utilized. This study also suggests that the presence of Mg-Al spinel (5-20 wt%) in the starting mineral does not have significant influence on the total H-2 yield from olivine alteration over the entire operation period.

Superhot geothermal environments in granitic crusts of ca. 400-500 degrees C and depths of 2-4 km are recognized as a frontier of geothermal energy. In developing such environments, hydraulic fracturing is a promising way to create or recreate permeable fracture networks to effectively access the energy through enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). However, there is a concern about the possibility of stabilizing or enhancing the permeability created by hydraulic fracturing, required for sustainable and profitable energy production, because pressure solution of the fracture surfaces may reduce permeability. On the other hand, permeability may be enhanced by free-face dissolution of the fracture surfaces even if pressure solution occurs. However, the rates of permeability reduction and enhancement are not fully understood, and the possibility of stabilizing/enhancing permeability is therefore unclear. We have conducted hydrothermal flow-through experiments on 400 degrees C fractured granite samples to clarify the influences of stress level and plasticity of the fracture on the rate of permeability reduction by pressure solution and the influences of pore water pressure and corresponding mineral solubility on the rate of permeability enhancement by free-face dissolution. Results suggest that permeability may be either stabilized or enhanced in superhot EGS even when pressure solution can occur by keeping the difference between the concentration of the pore water and the solubility of quartz higher than the stress-dependent permeability stabilization criterion.

Strategies of H-2 production and CO2 mineralization were combined through olivine [(Mg,Fe)(2)SiO4] serpentinization and carbonation in a CO2-rich hydrothermal system. However, natural mantle peridotites commonly contain not only olivine but also orthopyroxene and/or clinopyroxene, which have effects that are not well understood. The present study investigated the reactions in H2O-olivine/orthopyroxene-CO2 systems by performing hydrothermal experiments in 0.5 M NaHCO3 solutions at 300 degrees C and 10 MPa.The yields of H-2 and HCOOH initially were first suppressed in the presence of orthopyroxene; however, after orthopyroxene consumption, the rate of H-2 production increased significantly. H-2 yield increased to 348.3 mmol/kg(mineral) in 120 h with the presence of 20 wt % orthopyroxene at the beginning of the reaction. The initial suppression of H-2 generation was due to incorporation of more Fe(II) into serpentine [(Mg,Fe)(3)Si2O5(OH)(4)] in the high SiO2(aq) concentration system. The presence of orthopyroxene also dramatically accelerated serpentine formation. In contrast, magnesite [(Mg,Fe)CO3] formation was inhibited upon addition of orthopyroxene, which also contributed to the release of Fe(II). Therefore, peridotite containing <= 20 wt% of pyroxenes is more suitable for long-term H-2 production than pure olivine. When considering the reaction output of a water-peridotite-CO2 system, controlling the percentage of pyroxenes in the starting mineral may be more important than expected.

In this study, under the concept of effective utilization of heat generation resulting from mineral dissolution via acid injection for the promotion of in-situ dissociation of methane hydrate (MH) and the enhancement of gas recovery, we conducted a series of numerical analyses of the acid injection process as a secondary gas recovery from an MH reservoir after the depressurization operation. For the numerical analysis, based on the assumption that the charge balance in the injected acid solution after the contact with the solid matrix becomes neutral as a result of mineral dissolution into the water phase, two acid components before and after the contact with the solid matrix were defined. In addition, the kinetic parameters and heat of mineral dissolution during the acid injection were obtained through laboratory column tests and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis, respectively, and introduced into the developed numerical model. From the calculation results, it was found that the high-temperature zone formed because of heat generation resulting from mineral dissolution extended to the side of the production well promoting MH dissociation, and the total gas recovery through depressurization and acid injection was estimated at approximately 90%.

Groundwater plays a vital role in the arid Southern Gobi Region (SGR) of Mongolia. It is the only source of water supply and is largely utilized for mining operations, such as those at Oyu Tolgoi Mine. The area is expected to face severe water shortages for mining and drinking water, which may be related to changes in groundwater recharge due to climate change. Understanding the geochemical evolution of groundwater and recharge mechanisms is thus paramount for water resource management. In this study, for the first time, chemical and isotopic approaches have been used to characterize the groundwater origin and its associated recharge processes in the Gunii Khooloi basin, which is located in the SGR. Shallow groundwater is mainly characterized by Na(HCO3) and NaCl type; however, Gunii Khooloi aquifer is classified as NaCl type with high electrical conductivity. The stable isotope composition of the water in the deep Cretaceous confined aquifer shows depletion in H-2 and O-18 relative to modern rainfall and the Quaternary shallow aquifer, which indicates a weak interaction between the two aquifers. Modern groundwater was identified in the shallow streambed aquifer, probably due to the direct infiltration of rainfall. On the other hand, C-14 ages in the deep groundwater range from 2,800 to 33,500 years, which suggests that this is paleowater that was recharged during the glacial age. The results indicate that there is a need for strategic groundwater management in the Gunii Khooloi basin.

Hydration of Fe(II) bearing minerals, such as olivine ((Mg,Fe)SiO4), potentially generate hydrogen (H2). However, because of the low Fe(II) dissolution rate, the H2 production rate is usually low. We have recently proposed a novel system to promote H2 production and simultaneous CO2 storage in hydrothermal conditions via NaHCO3-enhanced olivine weathering. The present study reports the role of NaHCO3 on both H2 production from olivine hydration and on minerals generations on laboratory experiments in CO2-rich (0.5 mol/L NaHCO3) and CO2-free hydrothermal conditions at pH range of 8-11. The highest H2, HCOOH yields and carbonation rate reached at the CO2-rich experiment with lower alkaline pH at 8.25. The addition of high concentration NaHCO3 decreased pH from 10.92 to 8.25, whereas olivine and brucite dissolutions were accelerated. Thus, more Fe(II) was released from olivine and brucite, and H2 production was accelerated. At higher pH range, olivine dissolution was promoted, but brucite dissolution was suppressed in both CO2-rich and CO2-free conditions. This study suggests H2 production was promoted with the presence of HCO3-, but not the pH variation. The consumption of Fe(II)-bearing brucite was important in enhancing H2 production during olivine hydration process.

Here we report a novel experimental study on simultaneous hydrogen (H-2) production and CO2 storage. A high concentration of NaHCO3 (source of CO2) is utilized to promote H-2 generation from olivine (Mg, Fe)(2)SiO4) hydration, and then CO2 is reduced to formic acid (HCOOH) or sequestrated in magnesite (MgCO3) in a hydrothermal system. The effects of NaHCO3 concentration (0-1.0 mol/L) and initial pH (8-11) on H-2 production and CO2 storage were experimentally lab-scale tested at 300 degrees C. Both reaction pathways and reaction rates changed with variation of the reaction conditions. Under CO2-rich conditions, olivine consumption was promoted with the absence of Fe(II)-bearing brucite (Mg, Fe(OH)(2)), by which more Mg and Fe ions were released. Thus, the production of H-2 and carbonation processes were significantly accelerated. The highest H-2 generation rate reached 3.13 mmol/kg(olivine).h, which is more than 15 times higher than previously reported. The HCOOH yield was 129.1 mmol/kgolivine and magnesite ((Mg, Fe)CO3) generation reached a maximum of 19.2 wt% in 72 h. The enhancement of H-2 production at lower pH is primarily attributed to the presence of HCO3-, rather than the pH changes caused by NaHCO3 addition. The system proposed here has significant potential to be applied at the field-scale.

Multivariate analysis is applied to investigate geochemistry of several trace elements in top soils and their relation with the contamination source as the influence of coal mines in Jorong, South Kalimantan. Total concentration of Cd, V, Co, Ni, Cr, Zn, As, Pb, Sb, Cu and Ba was determined in 20 soil samples by the bulk analysis. Pearson correlation is applied to specify the linear correlation among the elements. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Cluster Analysis (CA) were applied to observe the classification of trace elements and contamination sources. The results suggest that contamination loading is contributed by Cr, Cu, Ni, Zn, As, and Pb. The elemental loading mostly affects the non-coal mining area, for instances the area near settlement and agricultural land use. Moreover, the contamination source is classified into the areas that are influenced by the coal mining activity, the agricultural types, and the river mixing zone. Multivariate analysis could elucidate the elemental loading and the contamination sources of trace elements in the vicinity of coal mine area.

1,4-ジオキサンは,環境動態が科学的に未解明であるため,従来のVOCsに比べて土壌汚染調査が困難である.本研究では,真砂土,黒ボク及び黒泥を対象として,土壌中の固相及び液相中の1,4-ジオキサンの分配の基礎的な検討を行った.各種分配試験(pH依存性,土壌含水比及び保水性)の結果では,分配試験初期に与えた1,4-ジオキサン濃度とほぼ同値の濃度となり,固相への分配割合は0.1~数%であった.しかし,高アルカリ条件では,1,4-ジオキサンが20%固相へ分配される可能性がある.土壌の保水性に着目すると1,4-ジオキサンは,有機分の少ない土壌で間隙水による希釈の影響によって濃度変化する可能性がある.このことから,特殊な環境(高アルカリ,低保水性)に移行しない限り,環境中に放出された1,4-ジオキサンは,間隙水または地下水へ移行することが示された.

However these various soils have complex forming mechanisms. This study examined geochemical characteristics of surface soils using statistical analysis. Principal component analysis (PCA), a very commonly used multivariate technique that can extract hidden structures and patterns from high-dimensional data, was applied to 633 classified soil samples. Soil samples collected in the Miyagi and Ibaraki prefectures were analyzed for major elements (Si, Ti, Al, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ca, Na and K) and heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Zn, As and Pb). Major elements showed most distinctive relationships with an inverse correlation between Si and Ti, Fe and Al. Heavy metals did not exhibit clear correlations with each other. However, background concentrations could be estimated using the frequency distribution and log-normal distribution curves. The background concentration of Cr, Cu, Zn, As and Pb were 50 ~150 mg/kg, 75 ~150 mg/kg, 200 ~300 mg/kg, 25 ~50 mg/kg and 30 ~60 mg/kg, respectively. Results of PCA clarified four common factors controlling major elements and heavy metals in the soil samples. They are 'Physicochemical formation', 'Soil components',' Vegetation effect' and 'Adsorption and desorption'. Soils are formed by leaching reactions from rain and groundwater and mixed organic matter from different vegetation types. Therefore, major elements and heavy metals in soil are affected by these processes, which are common to most soil types.

To investigate the mineral change and energy output of the olivine hydration and carbonation processes in carbon rich hydrothermal system, we monitored a reaction between olivine and NaHCO3 fluid at 300oC and 10 MPa. The study showed the addition of NaHCO3 can promote both the olivine alteration and carbonation process. H2 and HCOOH were regarded as the energy output, with the highest yield of 1.13 mmol and 6.45 mmol/L achieved at 1.0 mol/L of NaHCO3 solution in 72 h. Addition of NaOH promotes brucite generation. The whole process was simulated by kinetic pseudo-second-order model.

In-situ dissociation process of gas hydrate by Partial-oxidation and heating through acid or oxidant injection into the reservoir has been proposed. However, it was only evaluated by simulator based on the calorific value of acid. In this study, we carried out gas hydrate dissociation experiments in laboratory scale, by acid injection for the evaluation of this process. From the results, we clarified that the equilibrium temperature shifts to low temperature. In the case of acid injection, the equilibrium temperature decreased from 6.6 °C to 3.5 °C. The gas production rate was enhanced to more than twice due to the effects of exothermic reaction and inhibitor.

In CO2 geological storage, CO2/brine/rock chemical interactions may lead to changes in mechanical properties of rocks. These changes can have impacts on performance and integrity in storage depending on their intensities. In case of sandstones consisting mainly of quartz and feldspar grains, there may be little changes in the properties because of low reactivities of the minerals. On the other hand, significant changes may occur in case of volcanic sandstones because they contain high-reactivity volcanic glasses. However, influences of the chemical interactions on the properties of volcanic sandstones have not been investigated so far. Thus, we have conducted triaxial compression experiments on two cylindrical volcanic sandstone samples consisting mainly of andesite/basalt and scoria grains (porosity: ca. 33%) at a confining/axial pressure of 30 MPa, pore pressure of 15 MPa, CO2 saturation of 50% or 77% and 60oC for several weeks. Bulk modulus, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio were measured intermittently. Before and after the experiment, porosity and permeability were also measured on each sample, and initial and final brine chemistries were analyzed. Additionally, X-ray CT was conducted on the samples before and after the experiment. Changes in bulk modulus and Young’s modulus were qualitatively similar whereas Poisson’s ratio was almost constant. In case of one of the sample that contained relatively large scoria grains of high porosities, bulk modulus first decreased, then recovered partially, and finally became constant. In case of the other sample, bulk modulus first increased and then became constant. The decrease and increase in bulk modulus may have been caused respectively by dissolution-induced collapse of the relatively large scoria grains and by precipitations of some minerals such as silica minerals. Permeability of one of the samples increased while permeability of the other sample decreased, although porosity decreased for both samples.

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd In this study, we applied sparse multiple linear regression (SMLR) analysis to clarify the relationships between soil properties and adsorption characteristics for a range of soils across Japan and identify easily-obtained physical and chemical soil properties that could be used to predict K and n values of cadmium, lead and fluorine. A model was first constructed that can easily predict the K and n values from nine soil parameters (pH, cation exchange capacity, specific surface area, total carbon, soil organic matter from loss on ignition and water holding capacity, the ratio of sand, silt and clay). The K and n values of cadmium, lead and fluorine of 17 soil samples were used to verify the SMLR models by the root mean square error values obtained from 512 combinations of soil parameters. The SMLR analysis indicated that fluorine adsorption to soil may be associated with organic matter, whereas cadmium or lead adsorption to soil is more likely to be influenced by soil pH, IL. We found that an accurate K value can be predicted from more than three soil parameters for most soils. Approximately 65% of the predicted values were between 33 and 300% of their measured values for the K value; 76% of the predicted values were within ±30% of their measured values for the n value. Our findings suggest that adsorption properties of lead, cadmium and fluorine to soil can be predicted from the soil physical and chemical properties using the presented models.

Natural gas production from methane hydrate reservoir requires supplying heat. However, it is necessary to decrease energy consumption, and some new ways for enhanced gas production are investigated. One of them is partial-oxidation and heating process, which is proposed newly by us. This process is injecting acid or oxidant into the reservoir, which makes several effects for enhanced gas production. One of them is heat effect which comes from mineral dissolution by acid injection. In this study, we evaluated this with simulation. In order to carry out this calculation, we extended conventional numerical simulation model, and some parameters were needed. These parameters were about the dissolution rate and the heat. Therefore, we made the flow experiment with a column and measured the heat of mineral dissolution with a differential scanning calorimetry. In this experiment, Toyoura sand as a sediment and hydrochloric acid were used. In based on those experimental results, we determined constants. We carried out three types of numerical analyses about injecting acid into the reservoir. The first of them was the calculation about the reservoir which has no methane hydrate. The next was about the methane hydrate reservoir. The last was also about the methane hydrate reservoir, but injected acid temperatures were changed. In these calculations about the methane hydrate reservoir, the initial saturation of methane hydrate is 20 % on the assumption that this process as the secondary recovery follows the depressurization. The results show that injecting acid whose concentration is 0.50 mol/L heats the reservoir by approximately 30 ℃ from the initial temperature of methane hydrate reservoir. Hence, the total gas production in that case is comparable with that in hot water injection at 50 ℃ . Additionally, the lower the temperature of injected acid is, the higher the effect of reaction heat of mineral dissolution is. In conclusion, acid injection to methane hydrate reservoir will be the effective way of enhanced natural gas production.

Tsunami deposits accumulated on the Tohoku coastal area in Japan due to the impact of the Tohokuold earthquake. In the study reported in this paper, we applied principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) to determine the concentrations of heavy metals in tsunami deposits that had been diluted with water or digested using 1 M HCl. The results suggest that the environmental risk is relatively low, evidenced by the following geometric mean concentrations: Pb, 16 mg kg(-1) and 0.003 ml L-1; As, 1.8 mg kg(-1) and 0.004 ml L-1; and Cd, 0.17 mg kg(-1) and 0.0001 ml L. CA was performed after outliers were excluded using PCA. The analysis grouped the concentrations of heavy metals for leaching in water and acid. For the acid case, the first cluster contained Ni, Fe, Cd, Cu, Al, Cr, Zn, and Mn; while the second contained Pb, Sb, As, and Mo. For water, the first cluster contained Ni, Fe, Al, and Cr; and the second cluster contained Mo, Sb, As, Cu, Zn, Pb, and Mn. Statistical analysis revealed that the typical toxic elements, As, Pb, and Cd have steady correlations for acid leaching but are relatively sparse for water leaching. Pb and As from the tsunami deposits seemed to reveal a kind of redox elution mechanism using 1 M HCl. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

異なる方法でカラム試験用カラムに充填した土壌試料の通水前後の間隙率分布をX線CTを用いて可視化し,間隙率分布によってどのような流体流動が生じうるかを考察した.水締め法で充填した土壌中の間隙率分布は均質であり,通水後の変化も顕著でなかったことから,このような均質な間隙率分布における流体流動は安定した一様なものであることが示唆された.一方,自由落下法で充填した土壌中の通水前の間隙率分布は,間隙率の大きな部分と小さい部分が層状に存在し,不均質であることが示された.不均質な間隙率分布では,流体流動はらせん状に生じ,さらに流量が時間とともに変化することが示唆された.その間隙率分布に起因して生じる流体流動‐輸送‐反応の連成現象を理解することが,必要不可欠なことであると考えられる.

It is important to understand the distribution mechanism of heavy metal elements in environmental systems, because the toxicities of various metals and metalloids significantly affect health risks. The heavy metals concentrations are controlled by a wide of variety environmental factors. This study aims to clarify main influence factors on the heavy metal distribution in sediment, soil, river in the Natori River, Sendai City. We firstly produced geochemical maps for heavy metal concentrations (As, Pb and Cr) of river sediment, neighboring soil (bulk component, soluble component in 1N HCl and in pure water) and river water. The heavy metals concentrations in river water increase from upper stream to down stream, whereas heavy metal concentrations in river sediments and soil vary little from upper stream to downstream. There are no anomalous distributions of heavy metals in the studied area, although many anthropogenic materials are found in sediment, soil and river water. The correspondence analysis was applied to investigate relationships of heavy-metal concentrations between sediment, soil and river water. The results indicate that the heavy metals (As, Pb Cr and Zn) in sediment, soil and river water are dominantly controlled by natural sedimentary processes, such as denudation and sedimentation. The proposed method could be further applied for other pollutants in various environment systems. From a viewpoint of risk assessment of heavy metals, it is suggested by the presence of closer relationship of heavy metals that contains the risk information of heavy metals.

製鋼スラグの利用用途で,腐植物質との混合による磯焼け回復技術が注目されているが,製鋼スラグから溶出する重金属等の環境影響を検討する必要がある.本研究では純水による検討に加えて,海域利用を想定し,実海水を用いて振とう試験および浸漬式のシリアルバッチ試験を実施した.さらに,海域利用において要求される環境安全品質の考え方に基づき,海域利用への適合性について考察を行った.試験結果より,Cd,Pb,Cr,Bは,試験条件を変えた場合に,溶出濃度が港湾用途溶出量基準を超過することは確認されず,製鋼スラグ及び腐植物質の相互作用により,重金属類の溶出濃度は減少傾向を示した.また,本研究で想定した海域利用の環境安全品質を設定し,本試験結果を適用した結果,重金属類による海域汚染の原因となる可能性は低いことが示唆された.

Understanding the geochemical characteristics of tsunami deposits assists in revealing the mechanisms of tsunami inundation, assessing environmental risks, and using tsunami deposits industrially. Understanding geochemical characteristics is complex because geochemical compositions result from an accumulation of various known and unknown processes, such as original compositions of the hinterland, weathering, and transport. This study applies the principal component analysis (PCA) to the bulk chemistry of tsunami deposits generated by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake sampled from coastal areas ranging from Iwate prefecture to Fukushima prefecture. The PCA creates a set of uncorrelated synthetic variables called principal components (PCs) from a set of correlated observational data using an orthogonal transformation. By ignoring principal components that have small statistical variances, an important low-dimensional subspace can be extracted from a high-dimensional dataset. In addition, synthetic variables that have large statistical variances are considered to reflect important factors that control variations of datasets. The PCA was performed on whole-rock compositions of 18 major elements and heavy-metal elements. The first principal component (PC1) shows a clear inverse correlation between Si and other elements, which is considered to reflect the amount of sand composed of quartz and other silicate minerals. The second principal component (PC2) is characterized by a clear inverse correlation between minor elements such as lithophile and siderophile elements and chalcophile elements. The PC2 is considered to reflect the degree of enrichment of chalcophile elements caused by the interaction between original sediments and seawater. The third principal component (PC3) is characterized by an inverse correlation between Na and other major elements. The PC3 is considered to reflect the interaction between original sediments and seawater. Geological implications are not identified for other minor PCs, which have small variances (< 10%), probably due to observational noise and a combination of several known and unknown factors. The above three factors—amount of sand (PC1), enrichment of the chalcophile elements (PC2), and interaction of seawater (PC3) —are important processes that contribute to chemical variations of tsunami deposits generated by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake. These results and other geological evidence might be useful for understanding the mechanisms of tsunami inundation.

循環資源の環境利用は,循環型社会形成には必要不可欠である.循環資源と土壌は区別するものとされるが,環境利用には土壌汚染対策法と同じ基準値が採用されている.土壌を区別する以上,循環資源に適したリスク評価方法を行うべきである.製鋼スラグ中のフッ素の環境利用におけるリスク評価方法として,クリアランスレベルのシナリオの適用を検討した.検討の結果,土壌汚染対策法の基準値では,製鋼スラグの環境利用に関して過剰なリスク評価となっている.周辺住民の環境資材からのフッ素の摂取量は,クリアランスレベルのシナリオ適用時には,1/10~1/100となる.シナリオの選択から,人へのフッ素の摂取経路のパラメータより,循環資源に土壌汚染対策法基準値の10倍の値としても,人の健康リスクを脅かすものではないと考えられる.

日エネ学会大会要旨集, 2018年07月In order to improve the gas recovery rate from the gas hydrate reservoir, secondary recovery by thermal stimulation method aimed at recovering the temperature inside the reservoir is being considered. The heating method by acidic water injection is a new heat stimulation method proposed by us and enhances dissociation of hydrate by utilizing the heat generation by mineral dissolution in the reservoir due to acidic water injection. In the hydrate dissociation experiment by acidic water injection, the production enhancement effect by the inhibitor effect is clarified. Moreover, the influence of the heat generation effect was confirmed.

2018年 - 2018年, 日本語In this study, for the purpose of enhanced gas recovery from an methane hydrate (MH) reservoir, we conducted experimental and numerical study for acid injection process as a secondary gas recovery after the depressurization operation. This process is based on the concept of effective utilization of heat generation resulting from mineral dissolution via acid injection for the promotion of in-situ dissociation of MH. For the numerical analysis for the acid injection process, based on the assumption that the charge balance in the injected acidic solution after the contact with the solid matrix becomes neutral due to mineral dissolution into the water phase, we defined two acid components before/after the contact with the solid matrix. In addition, the kinetic parameters and heat of mineral dissolution during the acid injection were obtained through laboratory column tests and DSC analysis, respectively, and introduced into the developed numerical model. Using this numerical model, we conducted a series of numerical analyses for the acid injection process after the depressurization operation. From the calculation results, it was found that a high-temperature zone formed by in-situ heat generation resulting from mineral dissolution extended to the side of the production well to promote MH dissociation. Based on the total amount of methane gas trapped in MH at the initial stage, total gas recovery using depressurization and acid injection was estimated to be approximately 90% and we confirmed that the acid injection process is very effective as a secondary gas recovery targeting the MH reservoir under low-temperature and low-pressure condition after the depressurization operation.

1,4-ジオキサン(DXA)は発癌性を有する揮発性有機化合物(VOC)である。既存のスクリーニング技術では,DXAを土壌ガスから検出できなかった。DXAは帯水層に移行しやすく,他のVOCと混和する。本研究では,帯水層において,他のVOCとしてベンゼン(Bn)およびトリクロロエチレン(TCE)と混在したDXAの移動と残留について,DXA濃度分布の経時変化とDXA,Bn,TCEの残留量の比較により検討した。室内実験では,帯水層を土槽と飽和土により模擬した。間隙水にDXA,Bn,TCEを与えた。土壌を採取して溶出試験を行った。結果より,BnとTCEが5%未満だけ残留する条件でも,DXAは77%以上が残留することが分かった。また,DXAは流水に伴い移動するだけでなく,静水中でも移動することが分かった。水における高い残留性から,スクリーニングでは土壌または間隙水の採取が効果的と予想された。 - 2-1-2 部分加熱法によるガスハイドレートの増進回収効果

日本語In this study, we evaluated the effect of acid injection for enhanced natural gas production. To evaluate it with numerical analysis, we got the parameter about the calorific value in dissolution of Toyoura sand to three acids (Nitric acid, Hydrochloric acid and Sulfuric acid) and the reaction rate of the dissolution. Based on those results, we carried out simulations of the behavior in the MH reservoir in heating process by acid injection. The injection water (50 deg, °C) contained each acid (0.010 mol/L, 0.050 mol/L, 0.10 mol/L, 0.50 mol/L, 1.0 mol/L and no acid). As a result, MH reservoir was more heated in each acid injection than only hot water injection. The total gas production in the 3.0 years from starting the operation is enhanced by 17.2 percent at a maximum. In conclusion, the acid injection to MH reservoir is the good way of enhanced gas production from MH reservoir.

建設現場で発生する自然由来の重金属を含有する土壌の取り扱いは汚染土壌の処理や建設発生土の有効利用の観点から社会的に大きな課題である。重金属類を含有する土壌を適切に管理するためには、土壌からの重金属類の長期的な溶出特性の把握が必要である。本研究では、堆積層の硬質粘土中のヒ素を対象として、粒径別にシリアルバッチ試験、酸/アルカリ溶出試験及び逐次抽出試験を適用し、一般環境下において溶出しうるヒ素の最大量(以下、可能最大溶出量という)を推定した。 シリアルバッチ試験の結果、液j固比10でのヒ素の溶出量は粒径に大きく依存し、1回の溶出量は液固比の増加に伴い漸減することが確認された。また、各種溶出試験から推定された可能最大溶出率から、当該土壌からのヒ素の可能最大溶出量は、粒径31.5-50.0mmの試料で最大2.1%程度、粒径<2mmの試料で最大10.5%程度であることが確認された。 - 製鋼スラグ環境利用におけるフッ素溶出量の検討

土壌における流体流動現象の理解は、環境工学、農学、防災などの分野において重要な課題である。土砂災害の発生メカニズムや土壌汚染における汚染物質の分布は、土壌内の孔隙水の移動が寄与している。その移動現象は、土壌中の流体流動現象も透水係数により表現され、そのパラメータの推定に関する研究も報告される。
しかし、実験室レベルの土壌中の透水性予測は、実環境の透水性を容易に再現することができない。これは、土壌の粒度や地盤内の割れ目、動植物の影響による孔隙分布の偏りによって、大きな流路の偏りが生じるためである。また、土質試験では土壌を均質なものとして扱うことから、実環境で生じる可能性のある不均質な孔隙分布や流路の偏りを実験室で再現することは不可能である。
土壌中に形成される孔隙分布がどのような形状を有しており、どのような流れが現象として生じるか不明確であるためである。このことから、土壌中の不均一な孔隙構造を評価することは困難であり、実環境における流体流動特性は解明されていない。実環境で土壌中に形成された孔隙構造と間隙水の流体流動を可視化し、土壌コア内に形成される孔隙や流路のネットワークを多角的に観察することで、土壌の持つ要素の中で何が流体流動プロセスに寄与しているか考察していく必要がある。
本研究では、室内実験から土壌内の孔隙分布をX線CTを用いて可視化し、部分体積効果を用いて土壌中に形成される二相(固相 vs 気相・液相)のデジタル土壌コアをモデリングすることで、土壌内の流路を流体流動モデルから透水係数などのパラメータの推定を行う。また、様々な環境の土壌コアを採取し、室内試験の結果とそのパラメータの比較を行うことで、実環境の土壌中の孔隙構造と流体流動プロセスの真値について考察していく。

超臨界地熱水の高温高圧の反応場を利用したジオリアクター(地下反応器)を活用することで、水素や炭化水素の生成、さらにはCO2削減メカニズムを可能にする新規の反応プロセスについて理論的、実験的に検討した。そのため、高機能かつ高性能ジオリアクターを想定した反応器を作製して、エネルギー・環境分野での新たなブレークスルーを導出するための理論的な裏付けを行った。水素はクリーンでカーボンフリーなエネルギーであるため、地球温暖化の抑制に寄与する新エネルギーと期待されている。しかし、製造プロセスでの副産物やコストの点に問題が指摘されている。そこで、天然の地圏環境を利用して水素製造とCO2削減とを同時に達成可能な水素製造法を新たに考案した。本水素製造法では、地下の地熱環境にCO2とカンラン石((Mg,Fe)2SiO4)を輸送し、水素生成と炭酸塩鉱物の形成をともなうカンラン石の加水反応を利用して水素を効率的に製造する。これと同時にCO2を炭酸塩鉱物として地下に固定するものである。多種類の鉱物および触媒を使用して実験した結果、カンラン石、輝石および尖晶石などの天然鉱物をCO2リッチの環境条件下で反応させることにより、高濃度の水素を生成できることが分かった。さらに、反応生成物として炭酸塩鉱物が生成されるため、CO2の固定化も同時に達成できることが分かった。
以上のように、本水素製造法は、目的に応じて発生した水素の一部あるいは全部を鉱物触媒反応によりCO2と反応させて炭化水素に転換して、新たな燃料資源を創成するという特長も有していることが判明した。また、水素生成とCO2固定化を同時に達成可能な炭素固定型エネルギー生産技術として構築するために必要な革新技術の基礎を固めることができた。

地球化学的調査による高次元データ取得と津波堆積物の統計数理解析に基づき、日本沿岸で過去1万年程度の間に発生した巨大地震津波の頻度を正確に把握することを目的とする。そのため、高密度で堆積物コア試料を地球化学的に分析し、従来の地質データと統合して得られた高次元データをスパースモデリング手法により解析した。この新技術により、各種のイベントや歴史的な事象を数理統計的に差別化して、歴史的な巨大津波による堆積物を高精度で判別できる包括的フレームワークを構築し、日本沿岸における地震津波イベントの頻度、浸水範囲の特定精度を向上させることを目指す。
東日本および西日本の国内数カ所の調査地点においてジオスライサー調査を新規に実施し、津波堆積物のコア試料を収集した。また、産総研および高知大学で保管されている既往のコア試料を対象として地質学的、地球化学的な解析作業を実施した。得られたコア試料は、高知大学コアセンターが所有するコアスキャニング装置により高密度で分析し、元素、有機物、粒径分布、粘土含有量等の分布をマッピングして高次元データを集積した。
特定地域における海洋堆積物と津波堆積物を対象にして、堆積状況に加えて風化や化学的変換に基づく物理化学プロセスに関して統計数理解析を実施した。具体的には、主成分分析や独立成分分析等により地質現象を支配する典型的なプロセスを抽出することで、地質情報を含むデータ駆動に基づいて津波堆積物をほかの堆積物と判別できることを確認した。
スパースモデリング手法を取得した高次元データに適用し、津波堆積物と非津波堆積物の統計数理的な分別に必要な統計数理情報を集積した。また、地質データおよび微化石等を含む津波堆積物の要素モデリングの機械学習を通じて、モデリングの規範となる事象や基底を抽出して、津波堆積物の地球化学特性に基づき津波堆積物の汎化性能を向上させた。

本研究では土壌をISO/CENに準じた手法で充填し,X線CTを用いることで内部の間隙分布や卓越流路を可視化した。得られた三次元の間隙分布と流路形成から,土壌の流路形成と溶出メカニズムについて考察した。
カラム内の卓越流路は,豊浦標準砂や真砂土は管中央付近に卓越流路を形成した。一方,関東ロームは管壁付近などに卓越流路を生じており,明らかに豊浦標準砂や真砂土とは流路形成の様相が異なることが確認された。そのため,現状のカラム試験では,同充填方法を使用しても流路が異なり,土壌の物理化学的特徴から,液固比や分散に大きな違いが生じている可能性が高い。

本研究では、再生製品の利用によって生じる環境リスクを考慮した環境リスクアセスメントを行うことを目標とした。
(1)pH依存性試験やシリアルバッチ試験などの溶出試験を実施し、その結果からフッ素の溶出形態の推定をPhreeqCなどの化学種組成の計算汎用プログラムを利用し、環境条件のフィッティングから溶出過程の各元素の関係性を含めた再生製品の溶出機構を評価する。溶出形態の推定後、溶出量が環境基準値に対して十分満足のできるものであるのかを評価し、リスクアセスメントを行う。
(2)再生製品の多くは、長期的なスタンスで利用される。リスクアセスメントを行う上でも溶出試験を行う試料に対して環境暴露加速試験(乾湿サイクル試験および凍結融解試験etc)実施が必要であると考えられる。環境状況としては、一般的な使用環境状況および寒冷地における使用状況を想定し、長期的なリスクアセスメントを目指す。
(3)廃棄物や副産物等の循環資源、および、それらを材料とする再生製品からの化学物質の溶出特性をある一過型の移流条件において把握するためにカラム試験を実施する。カラム試験の結果を用いて、フッ素の移行のモデル化をおこなうために試験条件(飽和、不飽和、環境水の設定)を実際の再生製品使用環境にフィッティングする必要がある。その上で、移行モデルの構築から環境中のフッ素のリスク評価を行う。
これまでの研究成果より、概ね上記の目的は、達成できたと考えられる。(1)より、PHREEQCを用いたリスクアセスメントは、製鋼スラグの成分より、セメント系鉱物やカルシウム化合物を中心として、製鋼スラグをモデル上で再現し、溶出傾向を実験及びモデルの双方の結果を用いて検証している。(2)では、製鋼スラグからの溶出するフッ素の溶出低減化のみならず、試験的に溶出量の増加する場合についても検討している。試験結果から、単一的な処理よりも、連続的な環境ストレスを試料に与えることで、製鋼スラグ表面の炭酸化を促進することが示された。(3)については、最終的に(1)とほぼ同様な手法を用いた。しかし、目的中には再生資源としており、製鋼スラグのみの評価では不十分である。今後、再生資源の環境リスク評価は、再生資源中に含まれる重金属やフッ素、ホウ素を対象として、様々な試料での実施し、多くの知見を収集する必要がある。
