Objectif
TO STRUDY THE REACTIONS BETWEEN WATER AND ROCK IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE REACTIONS THAT HAPPEN IN A HDR SYSTEM.
WITH IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE HDR PROJECTS IN THE CARNMENELLIS GRANITE (CORNWALL, U.K.) A NUMBER OF EXPERIMENTS AND ANALYSES ARE NECESSARY FOR THE UNDERSTANDING AND THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND EXPLOITATION OF SUCH ENERGY SOURCES. BECAUSE OF THE EXPERIENCE IN MULTI-ELEMENTAL TRACE ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES PRESENT IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ANTWERP, THIS GROUP WILL FOCUS ITS RESEARCH ON THE LOCATION, ANALYSIS AND BEHAVIOUR OF TRACE ELEMENTS DURING WATER-ROCK INTERACTIONS.
ADVANCEMENT:
ELECTRON ANALYSIS (E.P.M.A.) HAS BEEN PERFORMED ON BIOTITE AND MUSCOVITE MINERALS. SEVERAL INCLUSIONS HAVE BEEN FOUND AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THE MINERALS ARE VERY INHOMOGENEOUS. SECONDARY ION MASS SPECTROSCOPY (S.I.M.S.) IS MORE SENSITIVE AND BIOTITE HAS BEEN STUDIED USING THAT METHOD TO FIND THE LOCATIONS OF TRACE ELEMENTS SUCH AS LI, F, CL, BR, RB, I, CS IN SAMPLES FROM CARNMENELLIS GRANITE.
