Main controlling factors and exploration enlightenment of aluminous rock series gas reservoirs in Ordos Basin,NW China

Based on the data of outcrop,core,logging,gas testing,and experiments,the natural gas accumulation and aluminous rock mineralization integrated research was adopted to analyze the controlling factors of aluminous rock series effective reservoirs in the Ordos Basin,NW China,as well as the configuration of coal-measure source rocks and aluminous rock series reservoirs.A natural gas accumulation model was constructed to evaluate the gas exploration potential of aluminous rock series under coal seam in the basin.The effective reservoirs of aluminous rock series in the Ordos Basin are composed of honeycomb-shaped bauxites with porous residual pisolitic and detrital structures,with the diasporite content of greater than 80%and dissolved pores as the main storage space.The bauxite reservoirs are formed under a model that planation controls the material supply,karst paleogeomorphology controls diagenesis,and land surface leaching improves reservoir quality.The hot humid climate and sea level changes in the Late Carboniferous–Early Permian dominated the development of a typical coal-aluminum-iron three-stage stratigraphic structure.The natural gas generated by the extensive hydrocarbon generation of coal-measure source rocks was accumulated in aluminous rock series under the coal seam,indicating a model of hydrocarbon accumulation under the source.During the Upper Carboniferous–Lower Permian,the relatively low-lying area on the edge of an ancient land or island in the North China landmass was developed.The gas reservoirs of aluminous rock series,which are clustered at multiple points in lenticular shape,are important new natural gas exploration fields with great potential in the Upper Paleozoic of North China Craton.

Application and Properties of Organic Emulsion Coated Phosphogypsum in Aluminous Rock Based Mineral Polymer Composite

A polarizing microscope,X-ray diffraction(XRD),fourier transform infrared spectrometer(FTIR),scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer(SEM-EDS),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and micro computed tomography(Micro CT)were used to investigate the relation between the structure and properties of the composite.Meanwhile,the physical properties,mechanical properties and strength mechanism were researched.The experimental results show that the structure and morphology of coated phosphogypsum remain intact in the composite,which shows good compatibility and forms a clear interface layer of transition zone between the coated phosphogypsum and the matrix,conforming to the structure of particle reinforced inorganic composites.The emulsion coated phosphogypsum has a certain strengthening effect on the aluminous rock mineral polymer composite.The compressive strength of the composite can reach 16.5 MPa when the amount of coated phosphogypsum is 40%,and the apparent density is 1.75 g·cm^(-3),which is significantly lower than that of common concrete;the thermal stability of the composite is also improved to a certain extent.Some certain chemical reactions occur in the process of forming the matrix of aluminous rock mineral polymer materials,with a structure of three-dimensional network.The research will provide a new way for the comprehensive utilization of phosphogypsum and low-grade aluminous rock.
