    The document summarizes research on self-potential signals associated with a redox front in a water-saturated porous medium without an electronic conductor present. The researchers conducted experiments where they generated a sharp redox potential distribution and measured resulting self-potential anomalies. They found that despite the absence of an electronic conductor, modest self-potential signals were observed due to ionic current from electro-migration and electro-osmosis, though they were much weaker than if an electronic conductor was present. The researchers concluded that diffusion potentials from the redox gradient alone could explain the measurable self-potential anomalies observed.

    Objective
    we consider the case of a sharp redox potential distribution generated in a water-saturated porous medium with no electron conductor present to bridge electron donors and acceptors in the system.

    These experiments demonstrate that despite the absence of electron conductors, self-potential anomalies can be observed.
    However, their magnitudes are much weaker than in the case of the geobattery associated with an abiotic electronic conductor.

    Description of phase 1: There were 3 transport processes:
    Operation Equations Comments

    Electro-migration

    (OH)=20.6108 m2 s1 V1, e1.6 h. <(6 days) very effective in Phase 1.


    for QV=0.77 C m3 , h=20.6 h< 6 days so effective in phase 1 Less effective than Electro-migration L=6 cm and D=2109 m2 s1, d= 21 days very long ,The least significant process.

    Evolution of the pH and the redox potential at the cathode and at the anode as a function of time(Experiment 2, Phase 1, total duration of Phase 1:6 days). 1(A. Revil et al., 2009)

    Conclusion
    in the presence of a sharp redox potential gradient only modest self-potential signals are generated in a porous material in the absence of an electronic conductor.

    despite their small magnitudes, the diffusion potentials observed in the experiments were measurable and can be easily observed .
    An assumption that a possibly biotic electronic conductor should be presented to explain the high values of SP anomalies in contaminated landfill was presented.
