Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions by underground carbon dioxide storage or by coupling intermittent renewable energy with underground hydrogen storage are solutions essential to the future of energy. Of particular importance to the success of underground storage is the fundamental understanding of geochemical reactions with mineralogical phases and flow behavior at the length scale at which interfaces are well resolved. Fast synchrotron-based three-dimensional x-ray microcomputed tomography (µCT) of rocks is a widely used technique that provides real-time visualization of fluid flow and transport mechanisms. However, fast imaging results in significant noise and artifacts that complicate the extraction of quantitative data beyond the basic identification of solid and void regions. To address this issue, an image-processing workflow is introduced that begins with unpaired domain transfer by cycle-consistent …
