Corrosion in CO2 Capture, Transportation, Geological Utilization and Storage

Liwei Zhang got his M.S. degree from Duke University in 2010 and his Ph.D. degree from Carnegie Mellon University in 2013. From 2013 to 2017, he worked as a postdoctoral research associate at National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). In July 2017, he was recruited by Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics (IRSM), Chinese Academy of Sciences as a full professor. Prof. Liwei Zhang's research has been focused on experimental and numerical studies on CO2-related reactive transport in porous media. Specific research areas include CO2-induced wellbore cement and casing corrosion, subsurface mineral dissolution and precipitation under geologic carbon storage conditions, and leaching behavior of metal ions from ores and fly ash induced by high concentration CO2. His research activities have resulted in one book, 5 book chapters and more than 100 journal articles and conference proceedings.
