NMR microscopy of diffusive transport in natural porous mineral grains


EMSL Project ID
2515b

Abstract

We propose further 1H NMR studies of water-saturated natural porous mineral granules in order to investigate fluid transport in these materials. Previous significant distortions due to the paramagnetic content of the particles were mitigated by: 1) careful selection of particles, 2) chemical pretreatment with a reducing agent, and 3) employing a lower static magnetic.
