Mineralogical and Morphological Features of Fractured Granitic Rock Tested under Water-rock Interaction

چکیده
Chemical analysis of the Water-rock interaction showed that hydrothermal altered rock contains large amount of fluoride. Considering that alteration has mainly occurred at the fractures’ cleavages, the aim of this paper is to investigate the change of the mineral composition between the cleavages and other parts of the granite surfaces. Scanning electron microscope with energy-dispersive spectrometry has been used in order to identify the change in the morphology and mineralogy of the minerals crystal that occurs on the natural surface of the rock specimens due to water-rock interaction. Second sub aim is to detect the change in the mineral composition between treated and untreated altered granitic rock specimens with water-rock interaction test. However fluoride amount might be in less concentration in biotite, experiments show that the precipitation of fluoride in the cleavages occurs in biotite mineral. This phenomenon might be due to the migration of hydrothermal water causing chloritization of biotite. SEM study of the altered fractured granitic rock indicated deposition of new minerals (fluorite) on the cleavages surfaces after water-rock interaction. One possibility might be due to dissolution of wollastonite.

UTILIZING CONCEPTUAL MODELING IN THE STUDY OF ONE OF THE IRANIAN FRACTURED CARBONATE RESERVOIRS
A typical Iranian carbonate matrix block surrounded by an open fracture was modeled in order to understand the fracture-matrix interaction and realize how to model the interaction best. The modeling was carried out by using a fine-scaled Eclipse model in the single porosity mode (the fractures were explicitly modeled). The model was extended to a stack of 6 matrix blocks to understand block-to-...

This research focuses on the identification and description of various features of pseudokarst in different parts of Alvand granitic batholith, Hamedan, west of Iran. In the literature, karst features have been presented as specific types of terrain or landscapes with particular characteristics suites of well-known surface and subsurface dissolutional forms. Whereas, pseudokarst refers to non-d...

A sequence of sixteen photomicrographs of thin sections of unaltered quartz diorite through a zone of deformation to myrmekite-bearing granite near Temecula, California, shows the textural and mineralogical changes that occurred in a quartz diorite as (1) K-metasomatism altered the primary plagioclase crystals to form microcline, myrmekite, quartz-bleb clusters, and recrystallized sodic plagioc...
متن کاملInfluence of particle size on non-Darcy seepage of water and sediment in fractured rock
Surface water, groundwater and sand can flow into mine goaf through the fractured rock, which often leads to water inrush and quicksand movement. It is important to study the mechanical properties of water and sand in excavations sites under different conditions and the influencing factors of the water and sand seepage system. The viscosity of water-sand mixtures under different particle sizes,...
