Pore-scale modeling and simulation of reactive flow in porous media has a\nrange of diverse applications, and poses a number of research challenges. It is\nknown that the morphology of a porous medium has significant influence on the\nlocal flow rate, which can have a substantial impact on the rate of chemical\nreactions. While there are a large number of papers and software tools\ndedicated to simulating either fluid flow in 3D computerized tomography (CT)\nimages or reactive flow using pore-network models, little attention to date has\nbeen focused on the pore-scale simulation of sorptive transport in 3D CT\nimages, which is the specific focus of this paper. Here we first present an\nalgorithm for the simulation of such reactive flows directly on images, which\nis implemented in a sophisticated software package. We then use this software\nto present numerical results in two resolved geometries, illustrating the\nimportance of pore-scale simulation and the flexibility of our software\npackage.\n
