Multiphase, reactive transport modeling was used to identify the mechanisms controlling trace metal release under elevated CO2 conditions from a well-characterized carbonate aquifer. Modeling was conducted for both batch and column experiments. The column experiments resulted in higher trace metal concentrations because the rock to water ratio was higher. A kinetic desorption model fits the overall trends in release for seven trace metals observed in batch and column experiments exposing Edwards Aquifer material to elevated concentrations of CO2. Observed and predicted trace metal concentrations are compared to groundwater concentrations from this aquifer to determine the potential for leaking CO2 to adversely impact drinking water quality. Finally, a three-dimensional multiphase flow and reactive transport simulation of CO2 leakage from an abandoned wellbore into a generalized model of the shallow, unconfined portion of the aquifer is used to determine potential impacts on groundwater quality. As a measure of adverse impacts on groundwater quality, both the EPA's regulatory limits and the maximum trace metal concentration observed in the aquifer were used as threshold values. Results of the field scale simulations indicate that CO2 leakage into a carbonate aquifer is likely to cause decreases in pH and increases in TDS beyond observed ranges in the aquifer and beyond regulatory limits. However, trace metal concentrations are not predicted to exceed either the observed maximums or the regulatory limits. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
