气-水两相砂介质中饱和度-毛细压力关系与水位波动之间的响应

利用时域反射仪（TDR）与微型张力计（T5）联用装置,测定气-水两相砂介质中因水位波动产生的连续干燥与湿润循环过程中饱和度-毛细压力（S-p）关系曲线.同时,研究了多重水位波动对S-p关系曲线、孔隙流体运移的滞后性及空气剩余饱和度的作用.结果表明,TDR、T5和数据自动采集器联用装置可较准确测量出气-水两相条件下S-p关系的动态变化.同一介质中不同干燥过程的侵入压值比较接近,与干燥过程的初始水饱和度无关;而干燥或湿润过程的S-p关系曲线和滞后程度则与其初始水饱和度密切相关.在特定的干燥和湿润循环过程中,初始水饱和度大小对空气剩余饱和度的值影响不大,用于预测非湿润相流体剩余饱和度的Land的假设需要修正.本研究结果对进一步研究水位波动条件下地下有机污染物运移具有借鉴作用,可为修正NAPL Simulator 提供实验依据.     

静电场和聚乙二醇等处理对大豆种子抗吸胀冷害的促进作用的比较

用正、负高压静电场（HVEF）,聚乙二醇（PEG）,氯化钙（CaCl2）和二甲基亚矾（DMSO）等方法预处理大豆种子,比较种子抗低温吸胀冷害的能力结果表明：负高压静电场处理能促进膜相转变或损伤修复,并能在低温吸胀时减少无机离子,有机大分子物质的外渗;还能提高种子内自由基清除酶系的活性,促进糖原和贮存蛋白的代谢及生长调节物质的水平比较几种处理方法的效果表明：高压静电场处理主要提高自由基清除酶系和基础代谢酶的活性,而对吸胀时的膜损伤修复的促进效果较小;聚乙二醇和氯化钙则在促进种子吸胀时的睦相转变和膜损伤修复方面有显著作用所有的处理方法均在不同程度上抑制羟自由基（HO）的产生,从而减轻膜脂质过氧化的伤害.     

ZnO NPs对水培小麦(Triticum aestivum L)种子不同发育阶段的影响

氧化锌纳米颗粒(ZnO NPs)是目前应用最为广泛的纳米材料之一,已有研究表明其对生物体具有显著的毒性效应。为了研究ZnO NPs的毒性与种子发育阶段的关系,选择小麦(Triticum aestivum L)作为受试植物,将处于不同发育阶段的小麦种子置入ZnO NPs悬浮液中进行培养,研究了ZnO NPs对水培小麦种子不同发育阶段的影响。结果表明,虽然ZnO NPs对处于吸胀阶段、萌动阶段和发芽阶段的小麦都可以产生毒性,但是毒性的大小随小麦发育阶段的不同而表现出明显的差异(P0.05)。在60 mg·L-1暴露浓度下,用ZnO NPs对处于吸胀阶段、萌动阶段和发芽阶段的小麦种子进行处理,小麦根长的抑制率分别为37.8%、80.2%和95.7%;就萌动阶段和发芽阶段而言,ZnO NPs的毒性与其浓度有关,浓度越大毒性越大,即具有显著的浓度效应。上述研究结果对于全面准确地评价ZnO NPs毒性具有重要的意义。     

Contact angle measurements of CO2–water–quartz/calcite systems in the perspective of carbon sequestration

This work presents contact angle measurements for CO₂–water–quartz/calcite systems at general sequestration pressure and temperature conditions (200–3000 psig and 77–122 °F). The effect of drop volume, repeated exposure of the substrates to dense water saturated CO₂, pressure and temperature on the contact angles is examined. In the 1st measurement cycle, the contact angles for the quartz substrate varied from 46 to 48° and 47 to 46° for gaseous (water saturated) CO₂ and liquid (water saturated) CO₂ respectively, at 77 °F. For calcite substrate, these values varied from 45 to 48° and 42 to 40°, respectively. Remarkably, this work highlights a characteristic permanent shift in the contact angle data with repeated exposure to dense, water saturated, CO₂. The contact angle data trends after repeated exposure to the dense, water saturated CO₂ varied from 89 to 91° and 85 to 80° for the quartz substrate for gaseous (water saturated) CO₂ and liquid (water saturated) CO₂ respectively, at 77 °F. For calcite substrates, these values varied from 60 to 59° and 54 to 48°, respectively. This important observation has serious implications towards the design and safety issues, as a permanent positive contact angle shift indicates lower CO₂ retention capabilities of sequestration sites due to a reduction in the capillary pressure. It is further confirmed that the permanent shift in the contact angle is due to surface phenomena. With an increase in temperature (from 77 to 122 °F), the contact angle shift is reduced from about 45° to about 20° for quartz substrates. Other observations in the contact angle data with respect to pressure are in good agreement with the trends reported in the literature.     

Scaling of spontaneous imbibition data with wettability included

Wettability is a dominant parameter governing spontaneous imbibition. However less attention has been paid to the effect of wettability on the scaling of spontaneous imbibition data. Actually few models can include wettability in scaling of spontaneous imbibition data. To this end, a scaling model has been developed for NAPL (oil)-saturated porous media with different wettability based on the fluid flow mechanisms in porous media. Relative permeability, capillary pressure, initial water saturation, and wettability are considered in the scaling model. Theoretically this scaling model is suitable for both cocurrent and countercurrent spontaneous imbibition. The experimental data of countercurrent spontaneous water imbibition at different wettability cannot be scaled using the frequently used scaling model but can be scaled satisfactorily using the scaling model developed in this study. An analytical solution to the relationship between recovery and imbibition time for linear spontaneous imbibition has also been derived in the case in which gravity is ignored. The analytical solution predicts a linear correlation between the recovery by spontaneous water imbibition and the square root of imbibition time, which has been verified against experimental data.     

覆压及水分对含瓦斯煤体渗吸特性的影响研究

为研究外加水分条件下受载含瓦斯煤体的渗吸特性,利用自主设计的含瓦斯煤体等压渗吸实验装置对煤体中水分及瓦斯的运移进行连续监测,并在瓦斯压力恒定不变的条件下研究覆压及外加水分对煤体渗吸距离、渗吸速度以及瓦斯置换量的影响。结果表明:水分在煤体中的渗吸距离随时间增长先是快速增加,而后缓慢增大。在相同外加水分条件下,相同时刻水分的渗吸速度随覆压增大而增大;在相同覆压条件下的煤体,相同时刻水分的渗吸速度随外加水分的增大而增大;渗吸过程中水分置换出来的瓦斯量随时间变化分为3个阶段,在第1个阶段覆压和外加水分的变化对瓦斯置换量影响不大,之后的2个阶段瓦斯置换量随着外加水分和覆压的增大而增大,并逐渐达到1个极限值。     

Secondary imbibition in NAPL-invaded mixed-wet sediments

A previously developed pore network model is used here to study the spontaneous and forced secondary imbibition of a NAPL-invaded sediment, as in the displacement of NAPL by waterflooding a mixed-wet soil. We use a 3D disordered pore network with a realistic representation of pore geometry and connectivity, and a quasi-static displacement model that fully describes the pore-scale physics. After primary drainage (NAPL displacing water) up to a maximum capillary pressure, we simulate secondary imbibition (water displacing NAPL). We conduct a parametric study of imbibition by varying systematically the controlling parameters: the advancing contact angles, the fraction of NAPL-wet pores, the interfacial tension, and the initial water saturation. Once the secondary imbibition is completed, the controlling displacement mechanisms, capillary pressures, relative permeabilities, and trapped NAPL saturations are reported. It is assumed that NAPL migrates into an initially strongly water-wet sediment, i.e., the receding contact angles are very small. However, depending on the surface mineralogy and chemical compositions of the immiscible fluid phases, the wettability of pore interiors is altered while the neighborhoods of pore corners remain strongly water-wet-resulting in a mixed-wet sediment. Here, we compare three different levels of wettability alteration: water-wet (advancing contact angles (20 degrees to 55 degrees), intermediate-wet (55 degrees to 120 degrees), and NAPL-wet (120 degrees to 155 degrees). The range of advancing contact angles and the fraction of NAPL-wet pores have dramatic effects on the NAPL-water capillary pressures and relative permeabilities. The spatially inhomogeneous interfacial tension has a minor impact on the trapped NAPL saturation and relative permeability to NAPL, and a slight effect on the relative permeability to water. The initial water saturation has a slight effect on the two-phase flow characteristics of water-wet sediments; however, with more NAPL-wet pores in the sediment, it starts to have a profound effect on the water and NAPL relative permeabilities.

为解决含瓦斯煤渗吸效应测试方法存在弊端、缺陷等问题,利用自制的等压泄压装置对煤样罐内的瓦斯压力进行连续监测,同时对含瓦斯煤在不同吸附平衡压力和不同含水率等压环境下的最大置换量与非等压环境下的最大置换量进行测试。结果表明:等压泄压装置的可行性（R）在98%~99.3%之间,可用于研究外加水分对煤中瓦斯的渗吸效应;等压环境下的最大置换量大于非等压环境下的最大置换量;相同吸附平衡压力下,随着含水率的增加,最大置换量的差值有减小的趋势;相同含水率下,随着吸附平衡压力的增加,最大置换量的差值亦有减小的趋势。因此,等压泄压装置为研究含瓦斯煤渗吸效应提供可靠的工具,使得到的研究结果更具有工程意义,从而为明晰水力化措施防突机理提供理论指导。
