Benefits and restrictions of 2D reactive transport simulations of CO 2 and SO 2 co-injection into a saline aquifer using TOUGHREACT V3.0-OMP

Many simulation studies on CO2 storage in deep saline aquifers focus on flow transport modelling and pressure development. Studies including geochemical aspects mostly address the acidic impact of pure CO2 injection on the minerals of the reservoir complex. More recent reactive transport simulations respect compositions of a flue gas stream closer to reality, i.e. they include physical or geochemical impacts of impurities within the CO2 stream....
