Treatment of Geothermal Waste Water to Prevent Silica Scaling
Silica scaling potential from geothermal waters puts limits on to what extent the heat from the water can be extracted. Once the waters become over-saturated with respect to amorphous silica, the handling of such waters becomes problematic. Many methods have been proposed to address this problem. One of them is aging the geothermal waste water allowing monomeric silica in excess of amorphous si...
متن کاملStructural Modification of Amorphous Fused Silica under Femtosecond Laser Irradiation
Non-linear absorption of femtosecond laser pulses enables the induction of structural changes in the interior of bulk transparent materials without affecting their surface. This property can be exploited for the transmission welding of transparent dielectrics, three dimensional optical data storages and waveguides. In the present study, femtosecond laser pulses were tightly focused within the i...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics computer simulation of amorphous silica under high pressure
The structural and dynamic properties of silica melts under high pressure are studied using molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulation. The interactions between the ions are modeled by a pairwise-additive potential, the so-called CHIK potential, that has been recently proposed by Carré et al. The experimental equation of state is well-reproduced by the CHIK model. With increasing pressure (den...
متن کاملMolecular Hydrogen Formation on Amorphous Silicates Under Interstellar Conditions
Experimental results on the formation of molecular hydrogen on amorphous silicate surfaces are presented for the first time and analyzed using a rate equation model. The energy barriers for the relevant diffusion and desorption processes are obtained. They turn out to be significantly higher than those obtained earlier for polycrystalline silicates, demonstrating the importance of grain morphol...
متن کاملThermodynamics and kinetics of silica scaling
Silica scaling is probably the principal factor limiting the extraction of energy from high temperature geothermal systems. Silica exists in a number of polymorphs from quartz through to opal A (or amorphous silica). The thermodynamics of the solubility of quartz and amorphous silica with variations in temperature, salt content, pH and pressure are discussed. However, in silica saturated geothe...
