Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of water conservancy engineering and geotechnical engineering measurement facilities, in particular to a gas diffusion coefficient testing device and method based on multi-component gas diffusion theory. Background Art

[0002] The diffusion and migration of gas in porous media involves many fields, such as the diffusion of natural gas as a clean energy in underground porous rock formations, the migration of landfill gas in landfill cover systems, and the diffusion of toxic and harmful gases in complex terrain after gas field leakage. Therefore, it is particularly important to master the diffusion and migration mechanism of gas. At the same time, the diffusion gas mostly exists in the form of multi-component gas. For example, landfill gas is composed of methane, carbon dioxide, ammonia, VOCs and other gases.

[0003] At present, the gas diffusion coefficient is mainly obtained through indoor gas diffusion experiments based on Fick's law. For example, the advection diffusion model (ADM) is most commonly used to describe gas migration in porous media. ADM is a linear superposition of the convection flux calculated based on Darcy's law and the diffusion flux calculated based on Fick's law. The Fick's law used is applicable to the description of gas diffusion in a two-component gas system. However, traditional detection devices have limitations such as poor airtightness, complex use, and inability to control temperature. Moreover, Fick's law is only applicable to diffusion in two-component gases, which is inconsistent with the actual situation of multi-component gases and has low prediction accuracy. Therefore, seeking measurement technology for the diffusion coefficient of multi-component gases is of great significance for improving the atmospheric environment for human survival and has great value for the sustainable development of the economy and society.

[0010] S2. The first cylindrical box and the second semi-cylindrical box are fixed to the base by bolts, and then the first cylindrical box and the second semi-cylindrical box are connected by snaps;

[0014] S6. Repeat the above S4 and S5 processes through the test parameters or test conditions of multi-component gas diffusion to achieve the diffusion performance study of multi-component gas under different working conditions;

[0015] S7. After the experiment, the multi-component gas diffusion coefficient is obtained through the multi-component gas diffusion model.

[0016] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, S7 is specifically:

[0045] The heat preservation box 2 is a hollow cylindrical structure, which can be divided into three parts: a first semi-cylindrical box body 11, a second semi-cylindrical box body 12 and a base 13. Figure 5 As shown, the first semi-cylindrical box 11 has a first bottom bolt hole 11-1 at the bottom, sampling tube interfaces 11-4 and 11-5 for placing the second upper chamber sampling tube 8-2 and the second lower chamber sampling tube 10-2 respectively, and an air intake pipe interface 11-3 connected to the lower chamber air intake pipe 10-4, and a first bottom groove 11-2 at the bottom; the second semi-cylindrical box 12 has a sensor interface 12-1 for connecting the temperature sensor 3 at the top, sampling tube interfaces 12-5 and 12-6 for placing the first upper chamber sampling tube 8-1 and the first lower chamber sampling tube 10-1 respectively on the side, and a second bottom groove 12-2 and a bottom bolt hole 12-4 at the bottom; as shown Figure 7 As shown, the base 13 is provided with three base protrusions 13-1, a base groove 13-2 and a base bolt hole 13-3, and the base 13 is connected to the first semi-cylindrical box 11 and the second semi-cylindrical box 12 by bolts 7. After the diffusion double chamber 1 is connected to the heat preservation box 2, the air pipe 4 is used to connect to the gas cylinder 5.

[0046] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the diffusion double chamber 1 is composed of only two parts, the upper chamber 8 and the lower chamber 10, which are assembled with the sample ring 9, thereby reducing the number of parts and components and reducing the probability of air leakage in the device. At the same time, O-rings are placed at the connection between the upper chamber 8 and the lower chamber 10 and the sample ring 9 to enhance the sealing of the device.

[0047] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the diffusion double chamber 1 is placed in an insulation box 2, and a temperature sensor 3 is provided in the insulation box. The temperature of the device can be controlled by adding an external heating belt and insulation materials.

[0048] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the sample ring 9 is of a pull-and-release type and can be directly used for sample preparation, facilitating rapid replacement of test soil samples.

[0049] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the first semi-cylindrical box body 11 and the second semi-cylindrical box body 12 of the thermal insulation box 2 have openings 11-7 and 12-7 on the side edges respectively, and are connected by a buckle 14, so that the thermal insulation box can be quickly disassembled and assembled. In addition, the bottom has a first bottom groove 11-2 and a second bottom groove 12-2 and a first bottom bolt hole 11-1 and a second bottom bolt hole 12-4, which are fixed to the base 13 by screws 7.

[0050] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the first upper chamber sampling tube 8-1, the second upper chamber sampling tube 8-2, the first lower chamber sampling tube 10-1, and the second lower chamber sampling tube 10-2 can be used for flushing the gas chamber before the experiment and for connecting the gas pressure gauge 15 to achieve accurate judgment of the air tightness of the device, and can also be used for injection and sampling of the gas to be tested during the experiment.

[0051] The gas diffusion coefficient test method based on multi-component gas diffusion theory is:

[0052] S1. Sample filling and device air tightness test. After the soil sample is prepared, fill it into the sample ring 9, connect the upper chamber 8, the lower chamber 10, the sample ring 9 and the porous plate 16 through bolts 6, and place O-rings in the groove 8-4 at the bottom of the upper chamber and the groove 10-5 inside the lower chamber. The groove 10-6 at the bottom of the diffusion double chamber 1 and the base protrusion 13-1 of the insulation box base 13 are installed one by one to fix the diffusion double chamber 1 and the base 13. Connect the diffusion double chamber device 1 to the gas cylinder 5 through the air pipe 4, and connect and fix all parts to achieve airtightness. Pass the experimental gas, and observe that the reading of the barometer 15 does not change within 2 hours to ensure the air tightness of the device.

[0053] S2. Connecting the heat preservation device: The first cylindrical box 11 and the second semi-cylindrical box 12 are fixed to the base by bolts 7 , and then the first cylindrical box 11 and the second semi-cylindrical box 12 are connected by buckles 14 .

[0054] S3. Temperature setting. Wrap the heating tape and insulation cloth outside the insulation box, set the required temperature through the temperature controller, and control the internal temperature to the required temperature through the temperature sensor 3 inside the box.

[0055] S4. Injection of the gas to be tested. Use a syringe to slowly inject 50 mL of a mixed gas of CO2 and CH4 into the lower chamber 10 through the first lower chamber sampling port 10-1; inject 50 mL of O2 into the upper chamber 8 through the first upper chamber sampling port 8-1 to replace the air in the gas chamber.

[0056] S5. Gas sampling. Immediately after the gas is injected, 1 mL of gas is collected as the initial gas sample through the second upper chamber sampling port 8-2 and the second lower chamber sampling port 10-2 with a syringe and the sampling time is recorded; sampling is performed every minute within 10 minutes before the start of the experiment; sampling is performed every 5 minutes from 10 to 60 minutes; and sampling is performed every 20 minutes thereafter until 2 hours. If the saturation is high, the sampling interval can be appropriately extended. The concentrations of CH4, CO2 and O2 in the gas sample are analyzed by gas chromatography.

[0057] S6. Repeat the experiment. Repeat the above process through the test parameters or test conditions of multi-component gas diffusion to achieve the diffusion performance study of multi-component gas under different working conditions.

[0058] S7. Calculation of diffusion coefficient. Equation (3) is the mass conservation equation of multi-component gas. The gas contains three components, CH4, CO2 and O2. The diffusion of multi-component gas in porous media can be described by the dust-gas model (DGM), as shown in equation (4). The numerical model is established by equations (3) and (4), and the boundary conditions are shown in equations (5-7):

[0059]

[0060]

[0061] Among them, θ g is the gas pore volume ratio of the soil sample; R(m 3 / Pa·K / mol) is the ideal gas constant; T(K) is the absolute temperature; p i (Pa) is the partial pressure of gas component i; t(s) is the time; N i (mol / m 2 / s) is the diffusion flux of the i-component gas, which can be calculated by formula (4); z(m) is the depth; τ is the tortuosity coefficient; D ij (m 2 / s) is the binary diffusion coefficient of bulk diffusion of component i and component j in air; D iK (m 2 / s) is the Knudsen diffusion coefficient of component i.

[0062] At the initial moment, the concentration of each component gas in the soil is the concentration in the air:

[0063] C s =C air t=0 (5)

[0064] The gas concentration boundaries at the top and bottom of the soil column use integral boundaries. Assuming that the gas in the air chamber is evenly mixed, the gas concentration at the top boundary (or bottom boundary) at time t is equal to the gas concentration in the air chamber at time t, which can be calculated by adding (or subtracting) the gas flux flowing into (or out of) the air chamber during the time period t from the gas concentration at the initial time. The boundary condition at the top of the soil column is:

[0065]

[0066] In the formula, C 0,top is the initial concentration of the gas in the top air chamber at the initial moment. The boundary condition at the bottom of the soil column is:

[0067]

[0068] In the formula, C 0,bottom is the initial concentration of the gas in the bottom chamber at the initial moment.

[0069] After the experiment, the data obtained from the experiment were substituted into equations (3)-(7) to obtain the multi-component gas diffusion coefficient.

[0070] Figure 8 (a)-(c) in the figure respectively give the experimental data of O2, CH4 and CO2 concentrations in the upper and lower chambers measured by the double-chamber diffusion device (red squares and blue dots in the figure). Substitute the parameters of the experimental device (sample ring height, diameter, etc.) and the parameters of the test soil (porosity, water content, dry density, etc.) into the DGM model and Fick's law model, and obtain the concentration curve that best fits the experimental data by changing the tortuosity coefficient τ in the model (if τ takes other values, the simulated concentration curve will have a greater deviation from the experimental data points), as shown in Figure 8 As shown, the red solid line and dashed line are the gas concentration curves to be measured in the upper chamber, and the blue dotted line and dashed line are the gas concentration curves to be measured in the lower chamber. The simulation results show that the tortuosity coefficient τ of the sample soil obtained by the DGM model and the Fick law model is 0.1 (then the diffusion coefficient of each gas is τD ij ). At the same time, from Figure 8It can be seen that the experimental test data points are more evenly and closely distributed near the concentration curve obtained by the DGM model, indicating that the simulation performed by the DGM model is closer to the actual situation. The gas migration flux obtained by the Fick law describing gas diffusion is larger. At 20 minutes, the CH4 and CO2 concentrations in the top gas chamber obtained by the Fick law describing the gas diffusion model are 1.5 times the results of the multi-component gas diffusion model. Comparing the above results, it can be concluded that ignoring the interaction in the multi-component diffusion process may lead to large deviations in the prediction of multi-component gas concentrations. Using the DGM model can obtain more accurate prediction results.

[0071] The above-described embodiment is only a preferred solution of the present invention, but it is not intended to limit the present invention. A person skilled in the relevant technical field may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, any technical solution obtained by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
