Abstract: Due to concentration difference, the ions in acidic solution diffuse and transport into sandstone, and chemically react with the components of the sandstone samples. On the basis of the unsteady diffusion theory, the reaction-diffusion equation for the solute transport process of acid-corroded sandstone is derived and the analytical solution is obtained. The corresponding MatLab program is compiled and preliminarily verified by indoor tests. The temporal and spatial distribution relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength of the acid-corroded sandstone and the concentration of the soaking solution is established, which provides an analytical method for the quantifying the influence of acid pollutants on water conservancy projects.
