Visualization of diffusion phenomena in porous media by means of X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning
The migration of water and contamination materials in rock structures is a significant issue in projects that utilize deep underground locations such as "carbon-dioxide capture and storage" (CCS) and disposal of high-level nuclear waste. These phenomena are also important in the area of preservation of stone structures of cultural heritage signficance, as such stone structures are usually located outside, exposed to wind and rain. The migration of contamination materials in the underground environment, especially in porous rock mass, is governed mainly by water permeation and diffusion. In this study, one-dimensional diffusion testing was conducted and the process in the porous materials was visualized by X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning. Diffusion is the process caused by the concentrate or density gradient, and is a suitable phenomenon for X-ray CT analysis. In this paper, information related to diffusion is extracted from X-ray CT image data and the distribution of concentration is estimated. From the obtained density distribution, diffusion coefficients are evaluated. One-dimensional permeation tests were also conducted and intrinsic permeabilities of porous materials are evaluated, then the relation between diffusion coefficients and intrinsic permeability is discussed.
