Sodium silicate is an inexpensive environmentally friendly chemical with initial water-like viscosity, favorable for well and reservoir water managements. The interest in the application of sodium silicate for water control is increasing among...

Abstract: Different models are discussed to interpret the presence of kyanite as a stable phase in contact aureoles especially in the andalusite-, sillimanite-bearing aureoles. In such aureoles the polymorphic sequence ...

Abstract – Andalusite, kyanite and sillimanite occur in well-defined zones in the Ardara aureole, NW Ireland. Temperature and pressure conditions of the Al2SiO5-bearing pelites in this aureole were estimated using ten ...

This paper addresses alkaline sodium silicate (Na-silicate) behavior in porous media. One of the advantages of the Na-silicate system is its water-like injectivity during the placement stage. Mixing Na-silicate with saline water results in metal...
