Storage Sites for Carbon Dioxide in the North Sea and Their Particular Characteristics (2023)
Journal Article
Rigby, S. P., & Alsayah, A. (2024). Storage Sites for Carbon Dioxide in the North Sea and Their Particular Characteristics. Energies, 17(1), Article 211. https://doi.org/10.3390/en17010211

This paper reviews and evaluates work on the structural complexity of the potential carbon dioxide storage sites in the North Sea, including the nature of the reservoir structures, the reservoir rocks, the presence of inter-layers, faults, and fractu...

Coupled multiphase flow, geochemical, and geomechanical modelling of the impact of shale interlayers on CO2 migration (2023)
Journal Article
Alsayah, A., & Rigby, S. P. (2023). Coupled multiphase flow, geochemical, and geomechanical modelling of the impact of shale interlayers on CO2 migration. Geoenergy Science and Engineering, 229, Article 212101. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoen.2023.212101

The need to find sufficient capacity for geological carbon dioxide (CO2) storage to meet demand means less-than ideal, heterogeneous reservoirs need to be considered. Many such reservoirs are apparently compartmentalised by inter-layers, which may he...

Evolution of the pore structure-transport relationship during catalyst reduction and sintering studied by integrated multi-scale porosimetry and multi-modal imaging (2023)
Journal Article
Mousa, S., Novak, V., Fletcher, R. S., Kelly, G., Garcia, M., Macleod, N., …Rigby, S. P. (2023). Evolution of the pore structure-transport relationship during catalyst reduction and sintering studied by integrated multi-scale porosimetry and multi-modal imaging. Chemical Engineering Science, 277, Article 118880. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ces.2023.118880

Catalyst pellet fabrication parameters significantly impact final product performance. Tabletted pellets are complex, hierarchical structures that evolve differently over various levels during subsequent processing. Multi-scale porosimetry and multi-...

The Anatomy of Amorphous, Heterogeneous Catalyst Pellets (2023)
Journal Article
Rigby, S. P. (2023). The Anatomy of Amorphous, Heterogeneous Catalyst Pellets. Materials, 16(8), Article 3205. https://doi.org/10.3390/ma16083205

This review focuses on disordered, or amorphous, porous heterogeneous catalysts, especially those in the forms of pellets and monoliths. It considers the structural characterisation and representation of the void space of these porous media. It discu... Read More about The Anatomy of Amorphous, Heterogeneous Catalyst Pellets.
