研究目的
Investigating the influence of sample preparation methods on the reproducibility of spectral induced polarization measurements in unconsolidated sediments.
研究成果
Sample preparation significantly influences SIP measurements in unconsolidated sediments, with reproducibility depending on the filling method and material properties. Tapping is suitable for sand, while pressing is better for silt. Porosity serves as a proxy for pore space changes, and a decrease in porosity reduces relaxation times and chargeabilities. The findings highlight the need for detailed preparation descriptions and material-specific methods to improve comparability in laboratory studies.
研究不足
The study is limited to laboratory conditions and specific sample materials; variations in fluid conductivity and unidentified processes may affect results. Porosity estimations assume a mean grain density, which may not be accurate for all materials. The sample holder does not allow extraction of fluid for post-measurement conductivity checks.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved SIP measurements using an impedance analyzer to assess the impact of different sample filling methods on the reproducibility of phase spectra and IP parameters. Four filling methods were tested: trickle, trickle and tap, trickle and press, and trickle and stir.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Three soil samples (sand and silt materials) from Braunschweig, Germany, were used, with grain size distributions analyzed. Samples were dried and saturated with a sodium chloride solution.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a Princeton Applied Research VMP3 impedance analyzer, a sample holder made of acrylic glass with stainless steel disks and agar gel, and potential electrodes of Nickel silver. Materials included sodium chloride solution and soil samples.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Samples were prepared using the defined filling methods, stored for two days to minimize time-dependent effects, and SIP measurements were conducted at frequencies from
5：01 to 100 Hz. Porosities were estimated from dry mass and sample volume. Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using Debye decomposition to obtain mean relaxation times and normalized chargeabilities, with reproducibility assessed through spectral comparisons and parameter variations.
