Coastal asphalt pavements are highly susceptible to sea salt erosion, which leads to a
significant decrease in road performance and durability. However, the interface micro …

This research investigated the influence of sea salt on the adhesion properties of bitumen–
aggregate systems by molecular dynamics simulations in order to fundamentally understand …

Geological storage of acid gas has been identified as a promising approach to reduce
atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2), hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) and alleviate public concern …

The wettability of rock affects the interaction between CO 2, brine, and shale formation,
which affects CO 2 sequestration with enhanced gas recovery (CS–EGR) project. However …

Caprock plays a critical role in the long-term safety of CO 2 geological storage, and
breakthrough pressure serves as a key indicator for evaluating caprock sealing. The …

This study aims to investigate the cracking mechanism of strongly weathered purple
mudstone (SWPM) samples in Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) drawdown area, China under …

Reservoir wettability is very important to predict the structure and residual capture capacity,
potential CO 2 leakage accidents and improve the risk assessment and sequestration safety …

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to understand the interfacial properties of
brine (up to 5.4 mol/kg NaCl) and brine+ silica systems in the presence of CO2, hexane, and …

Water is the most abundant molecule found on the earth's surface and is a key factor in
multiscale rock destruction. However, given the fine-grained nature of rock and the …

The interaction between crude oil and pore surfaces is notable in the process of CO 2 and N
2 flooding, and some crude oil can hardly be displaced and remains on pore walls in the …
