ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a review on the applications of reactive transport modeling to two aspects of CO2 geological storage: the behavior of CO2 within the storage formation, and the change of the shallow groundwater in response to the potential leakage of CO2. These applications demonstrate the use of reactive transport modeling in understanding the water-gas-mineral reactions in CO2 geological storage, and reveal the need of reliable reaction rates and consistent thermodynamic database for sorption reactions to improve the predictability of reactive transport models.
