Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of gas hydrate, CO2 geological storage, low-carbon clean environmental protection technology, in particular to a liquid CO2-CO2 hydrate phase change kinetics determination experimental device, experimental method and calculation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the progress of industrialization and rapid population growth, CO2 emissions are increasing year by year. Global warming, climate change, and ecological destruction caused by the emission of greenhouse gases such as CO2 have attracted widespread attention. In order to achieve the goal of global carbon peak and carbon neutralization, it is necessary to develop potential CO2 treatment technologies. Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology is considered as a large-scale greenhouse gas emission reduction technology, and is considered as an indispensable key technology path to achieve global carbon neutralization.

[0003] Hydrate method CO2 capture and storage technology has obvious advantages due to its large gas storage capacity, environmental friendliness and stable and safe long-term storage capacity. CO2 hydrate refers to a cage-like structure composed of water molecules through hydrogen bonds, and CO2 fills the cage through van der Waals force. Under suitable temperature and pressure conditions, one volume of CO2 hydrate can store about 160-180 volumes (standard conditions) of CO2 gas, so CO2 hydrate has a large gas storage capacity. In addition, since CO2 hydrate is composed of water and CO2 molecules, the hydrate method CO2 capture and storage technology has obvious economic advantages and environmental friendliness. CO2 hydrate can exist stably for a long time under relatively mild temperature and pressure conditions (low temperature and high pressure), and is a CO2 storage medium with great potential. For example, CO2 is stored in the form of hydrate in seabed sediments, and the high pressure and low temperature natural environment in the seabed environment makes CO2 hydrate exist stably for a long time.

[0004] Currently, the key problem in the actual generation of CO2 hydrate is that CO2 has a relatively mild liquefaction condition compared with methane and nitrogen, and liquid CO2 can also be converted into CO2 hydrate. Therefore, under the temperature and pressure conditions of many practical application backgrounds, CO2 exists in the form of liquid, for example, in the hydrate method CO2 seabed storage technology at a water depth of more than 1000 meters, the pressure of CO2 hydrate generation is as high as 10 MPa or more, and the ambient temperature is about 3-10℃, under which CO2 can exist in the form of liquid. In addition, under the application background of CO2 capture at a high working pressure, CO2 can also exist in the form of liquid. However, the existing CO2 hydrate generation kinetics evaluation and quantitative research on CO2 capture and storage by the hydrate method are mostly suitable for the process of gaseous CO2 converting into CO2 hydrate. The inability to conveniently and quickly evaluate the kinetics (generation rate, etc.) of the process of liquid CO2 generating CO2 hydrate and quantitatively calculate the CO2 consumption is the biggest factor restricting the research and application of the phase change process.

[0045] A liquid CO2-CO2 hydrate phase transition dynamics measurement experimental method, which adopts the experimental device described above, includes the following steps:

[0046] (1) In the injection stage, a predetermined volume of hydrate reaction solution is injected into the reactor through the injection constant pressure part at a predetermined injection temperature;

[0047] (2) CO2 is introduced into the reactor through the CO2 gas source until the remaining volume of the reactor is filled with liquid CO2;

[0049] (4) When the cumulative water injection amount of the injection constant pressure part no longer changes, it indicates that no more hydrate is generated, and the reaction is ended.

[0050] Based on the above Figure 1 The experimental device shown, in a preferred embodiment, the liquid CO2-CO2 hydrate phase transition kinetics determination experimental method includes the following steps:

[0051] 1. Clean and dry the reactor 6 and seal it, put it into the second water bath 7, clean and dry the piston container 4, then fill it with hydrate reaction solution (in this case, 0.3wt% methionine solution), and then put the piston container 4 into the first water bath 5;

[0059] 9. When the cumulative water injection volume of plunger pump 1 no longer changes, it indicates that the volume of each phase in the reactor no longer changes, that is, no more hydrates are formed, and the reaction ends.

[0060] Example 3

[0061] In the kinetic evaluation of the formation of CO2 hydrate from liquid CO2, since pressure parameters cannot reflect the amount of CO2 in the hydrate formation system, this invention proposes to accurately calculate the amount of CO2 in the reaction system by using the injection volume under constant pressure conditions and based on the basic method of volume conservation.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, a method for determining and calculating the phase transition kinetics of liquid CO2-CO2 hydrate includes the following steps:

[0063] S1. Record the pressure, temperature, and cumulative water injection volume during the experiment at predetermined time intervals, and take the moment when CO2 hydrate begins to form as the initial time for calculation;

[0064] S2. Based on the initial temperature and pressure, calculate the initial density of liquid CO2 and the density ρ of the aqueous solution, respectively. w0 The solubility of CO2 in aqueous solution and the solubility of water in liquid CO2 are calculated. Based on the pressure and temperature at each subsequent moment from the initial moment, the density of liquid CO2 and the density of the aqueous solution ρ at the corresponding moments are also calculated. w The solubility of CO2 in aqueous solution and the solubility of water in liquid CO2;

[0065] S3, for the initial moment, according to the reactor volume conservation, the water mass conservation, and by using the initial moment cumulative water injection, the water solution density, the water solubility in liquid CO2, the volume of liquid CO2 in the reactor at the initial moment is calculated The volume of water solution V aq0 The water mass in the water solution The water mass dissolved in liquid CO2 Since the hydrate is not generated at the initial moment, the CO2 hydrate volume V h0 The water mass in the hydrate phase is 0 , wherein the reactor volume conservation formula and the water mass conservation formula are respectively:

[0066]

[0067]

[0068]

[0069] Wherein, ρ w0 is the water density corresponding to the initial moment of hydrate generation, V0 is the reactor volume, n w0 is the water mass injected into the reactor at the initial moment of hydrate generation, Q0 is the cumulative water injection into the reactor at the initial moment of hydrate generation;

[0070] S4, according to the volume of liquid CO2 at the initial moment calculated in step S3, the volume of water solution, and according to the liquid CO2 density at the initial moment calculated in step S2, the water solution density, the CO2 solubility in the water solution, the total mass of CO2 in the reactor at the initial moment is calculated

[0071] S5, for each time after the initial moment, according to the reactor volume conservation, the water mass conservation, and the CO2 mass conservation in the CO2 hydrate reaction process, by using the total mass of CO2 in the reactor at the initial moment, and by using the cumulative water injection at the corresponding moment, the liquid CO2 density, the water solution density, the CO2 solubility in the water solution, and the water solubility in liquid CO2 at each time after the initial moment, the CO2 mass in the hydrate at the corresponding moment in the reactor is calculated And according to the CO2 mass conservation in the reaction system, the CO2 dissolved in the water solution is calculated And the remaining CO2 mass of liquid CO2 Wherein, the reactor volume conservation formula, the water mass conservation formula, and the CO2 mass conservation formula are respectively:

[0072]

[0073]

[0074]

[0075]

[0076] wherein, n w is the amount of substance of water injected into the reactor at the respective time of each of the subsequent times of the initial time, Q is the cumulative amount of water injected into the reactor at the respective time of each of the subsequent times of the initial time, p w is the density of the corresponding aqueous solution at the respective time of each of the subsequent times of the initial time;

[0077] S6, outputting the amount of substance of CO2 in each phase at the initial time and at each of the subsequent times respectively and

[0078] In the present application, the aqueous solution mainly comprises water and also a small amount of additives, such as kinetic promoters like methionine, and since the content of the additives is very small (for example, the amount of additives added is ≤ 5wt%), it can be considered that the effect of the additives on the density of the aqueous solution and the solubility of CO2 in the aqueous solution can be ignored, and thus the effect of the additives on the density of the aqueous solution and the solubility of CO2 in the aqueous solution is reasonably simplified in the above calculation process, i.e. it is considered that the volume of water is equal to the volume of the aqueous solution, the density of the aqueous solution is equal to the density of water, and the solubility of CO2 in the aqueous solution is equal to the solubility in water. Therefore, in the present application, "water", "aqueous solution" and "hydrate reaction solution" are not specially distinguished and refer to the same concept in the present application.

[0079] In a specific example, the calculation process is as follows:

[0080] At the initial time of the reaction, 60 mL of a 0.3wt% methionine solution was injected into the reactor at 288.15K by means of a plunger pump.

[0081] 1. At the initial time of the hydrate generation, the temperature in the reaction system was 275.23K, the pressure was 5.5MPa, and the cumulative amount of water injected was 71.85 mL.

[0082] 2. The calculated density of liquid CO2, the density of the aqueous solution, the solubility of CO2 in the aqueous solution, and the solubility of water in liquid CO2 at the initial time were 0.92 g / cm 3 , 1.00 g / cm 30.033 mol / mol, 0.001 mol / mol.

[0083] 3、The volume of liquid CO2, the volume of aqueous solution and the volume of hydrate in the reactor at the initial moment are calculated as 28.16 mL, 71.84 mL and 0 mL respectively.

[0084] 4、The amount of substance of CO2 in each phase (i.e. the amount of substance of CO2 in hydrate, the amount of substance of CO2 dissolved in aqueous solution and the amount of substance of CO2 remaining in liquid CO2) and the amount of substance of water in aqueous solution at the initial moment are calculated, specifically, the amount of substance of water in aqueous solution, the amount of substance of CO2 in liquid CO2 and the amount of substance of CO2 in dissolved phase at the initial moment are 3.99 mol, 0.59 mol and 0.14 mol respectively, and no hydrate is generated at the initial moment, so the amount of substance of CO2 in hydrate phase is 0, and the total amount of substance of CO2 at the initial moment is 0.73 mol.

[0085] 5、For each time point after the initial moment, the corresponding data of each group at the time point are calculated. and Taking the 1000th group of data, i.e. 5000 seconds after the initial moment of CO2 hydrate generation, as an example, the pressure P is 5.58 MPa and the temperature T is 275.23 K, and the calculation is performed to obtain 0.41 mol, 0.06 mol, 0.26 mol.

[0086] 6、The amount of substance of CO2 in each phase is output respectively and

[0087] The amount of substance of CO2 in each phase in the above examples obtained according to the calculation method of Example 3 is shown in Table 1. Figure 3 Table 1

[0088] Through the above calculation process, the process of liquid CO2 generating CO2 hydrate can be accurately and conveniently quantitatively analyzed, the kinetic process of CO2 hydrate and the consumption of CO2 can be accurately evaluated, and theoretical support is provided for subsequent hydrate method CO2 capture and storage technology. The application can be applied in the fields of hydrate-based CO2 seabed storage, hydrate-based CO2 capture, gas hydrate storage and transportation, CO2 hydrate refrigeration technology, hydrate method fruit juice concentration and the like.
