Formation of amorphous silica nanoparticles and its impact on permeability of fractured granite in superhot geothermal environments

Abstract Superhot geothermal environments in granitic crusts of approximately 400–500 °C are a frontier of geothermal energy. In the development of such environments, there is a concern of a reduction of permeability of fractured granite due to the formation of fine particles of amorphous silica ind...
