Static Young's modulus ( ) is a critical property required in numerous petroleum calculations. Various models to forecast have been proposed in the literature. However, existing models, by and large, lack precision and are confined to specific data set ranges.

The research presented here investigates the reaction mechanism of wollastonite in situ mineral carbonation for carbon dioxide (CO) sequestration. Because wollastonite contains high calcium (Ca) content, it was considered as a suitable feedstock in the mineral carbonation process. To evaluate the reaction mechanism of wollastonite for geological CO sequestration (GCS), a series of carbonation experiments were performed at a range of temperatures from 35 to 90 °C, pressures from 1500 to 4000 psi, and salinities from 0 to 90,000 mg/L NaCl.

Fission tracks are linear trails of intense radiation damage in the crystal structure of a mineral, produced by spontaneous fissioning of uranium-238 (U) atoms. Detail information on the low-temperature thermal histories of rocks, below∼120 °C for tracks in apatite and below∼350 °C for zircon, can be provided by Fission-track (FT) analysis. The purpose of this article is to present apatite and zircon fission-track data, and U-Pb granite ages that provide information about the cooling histories of a rock which can be crucial in comprehending the exhumation episodes of the study area, in particular, and the region, in general.
