Applications and Prospective of X-Ray Scattering on Geological Porous Media
The field of energy geology mainly focuses on geological porous materials(such as minerals,rocks,and soil)as research targets which are applied to conventional and unconventional oil and gas exploration and development,traditional and critical mineral exploitation,geothermal energy utilization,carbon dioxide capture and storage,radioactive nuclear waste storage,and hydrogen energy storage and utilization.However,with the routine research methods to study the properties of porous media materials entering the bottleneck period in theory and technology,the high-flux large scientific devices represented by X-ray scattering have gradually emerged,opening up a new method for non-destructive characterization of geological porous media materials from nm to cm size structure two-dimensional and three-dimensional characterization.Since X-ray scattering has not been widely used in the field of energy geology,in this paper it introduces the basic principle of X-ray scattering,its application history,examples in the field of energy geology,and synchrotron radiation stations in China and abroad for energy geologists.Besides,in this paper it proposes the prospect of X-ray scattering in the field of geological porous media characterization to promote the research of X-ray scattering in the field of energy geology and its wide application.
