Problems solved by technology

Common porous media such as dry water can achieve the goal of fast gas storage rate and large gas storage capacity, but under heating conditions, the water contained in it is easy to escape, causing the dry water structure to be damaged and cannot be restored to its original state, and cannot be recycled, thus hindering Its promotion and large-scale application in the industrial field

Embodiment 1

[0038] The prepared finished polymethyl methacrylate hydrogel was completely immersed in deionized water, and left for 24 hours to achieve swelling equilibrium.

[0039] Weigh 50g of polymethyl methacrylate hydrogel that has reached swelling equilibrium, and put it into a 300ml autoclave. The water content of the hydrogel is 60 wt%, and the pore size is 1 μm. Open the inlet valve of the methane gas cylinder, charge methane gas into the 300ml reactor until the pressure stabilizes at 30MPa.

[0040] After the temperature of the reactor was adjusted to 20°C and stabilized, hydrates began to form. The temperature and pressure of the hydration process were measured with a thermal resistance and a pressure sensor, respectively. A sudden drop in pressure was observed while the temperature was rising, indicating the massive formation of hydrates.

[0041] After a period of time, the temperature and pressure tend to be stable, and the hydration process is considered to be over. The...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for realizing reversible gas storage of gas hydrate by utilizing hydrogel. The method is as follows: using polymethacrylate hydrogel as the gas storage medium, which specifically includes the following steps: taking out the polymethacrylate hydrogel that has reached the swelling balance and putting it into a high-pressure reactor, sealing the high-pressure Reactor, open the valve of the gas cylinder, inflate the reactor; gas storage process: adjust the pressure and temperature of the high-pressure reactor to the specified temperature and pressure respectively, and start to generate gas hydrate. When the temperature and pressure no longer change, The gas hydrate stored in the polymethacrylate hydrogel is obtained; the decomposition process: the gas hydrate stored in the polymethacrylate hydrogel is heated up to decompose the gas hydrate stably, and the temperature and After the pressure has re-stabilized, the decomposition process is achieved. The invention has the advantages of realizing high gas storage capacity and high reversible gas storage effect, simple and easy process, no pollution and good stability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gas hydrates, in particular to a method for realizing reversible gas storage of gas hydrates by using hydrogel. Background technique [0002] Gas hydrate is an ice-like white solid substance formed by gas and water at low temperature and high pressure, and it is a kind of clathrate compound. Water molecules as the main molecules form a cage-like lattice structure, and the molecules as guest molecules fill the holes between the lattices. The water molecules forming the lattice are combined by strong hydrogen bonds, and the molecules and water molecules are connected by relatively strong hydrogen bonds. Weak van der Waals forces interact to realize gas storage in hydrates. [0003] The storage and transportation of gas with hydrate is a brand-new gas storage and transportation technology, which can be regarded as the reverse process of gas hydrate mining and decomposition in nature. This technology conver...
