Control of the smoldering front temperature in a carbon- and carbonate-containing porous medium in order to limit CO2 emissions

This PhD thesis focuses on the control of the smoldering front propagating in a porous medium containing fixed carbon and carbonates (CaCO3). The main objective is to reduce the front temperature, in situ (oil recovery or gas production from oil shale) or in process (combustion of semicoke), in orde...
