Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of detection technology, and in particular relates to an apparatus and method for determining the solubility of carbon dioxide in formation water. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, commonly used methods for determining the solubility of carbon dioxide in high-temperature, high-pressure water, both domestically and internationally, can be categorized into direct and indirect methods based on their characteristics. Based on differences in apparatus and principles, they can be classified into static methods, circulating methods, bubble point / dew point methods, flow methods, kinetic methods, in-situ spectroscopic methods, and laser Raman methods. Static method: Degassed liquid is added to a vacuum-sealed reactor. Gas is introduced into the reactor and stirred, maintaining a constant temperature (equilibrium temperature) for a period of time to allow the gas and liquid phases to reach equilibrium and obtain the equilibrium pressure. The basic principle of this method is to calculate the gas solubility by the difference in the number of moles of gas under different conditions. Circulating method: Solute gas is introduced into an equilibrium reactor containing the sample. A circulating pump circulates the gas and liquid phases at a constant temperature, obtaining the temperature and pressure at gas-liquid equilibrium. Chromatographic analysis of the gas phase at this equilibrium is then performed to calculate the gas solubility. Bubble point / dew point method: By increasing (decreasing) pressure, a certain amount of liquid and gas in the reactor are mixed and balanced. While maintaining a constant temperature, the pressure is gradually decreased (increased). The temperature and pressure at which the first bubble (droplet) forms are observed through a viewing window, thus obtaining the bubble point (dew point) of the liquid (gas) mixture in the reactor. Connecting the bubble points (dew points) of liquid (gas) mixtures with different proportions yields the liquidus (gasus) line. This allows for indirect determination of gas solubility. Flow method: Gas and liquid materials are simultaneously injected into a preheated mixer. At a determined outlet temperature, they enter the reactor to form balanced gas and liquid phases. The balanced gas and liquid phases are extracted from the upper and lower parts of the reactor, respectively, and condensed for sampling and analysis. Kinetic method: Based on the premise of complete physical absorption without any chemical reaction, and grounded in a kinetic model, the solubility of the gas is solved by regression analysis of instantaneous rate and instantaneous concentration. In-situ spectroscopy: After adjusting the temperature of the reaction vessel containing an appropriate amount of solute to the test temperature, CO2 is introduced, and a magnetic stirrer is used to ensure full contact between the solute and CO2. The solute will gradually dissolve under increasing pressure, forming a mixture with CO2. Under a defined pressure, the absorbance of the mixture is measured periodically until the absorbance remains constant, indicating that the solute and CO2 have reached dissolution equilibrium. Laser Raman spectroscopy: The peak height ratio of CO2 and pure water in the system is detected and calculated over a certain period. By comparing the measured values, it is determined whether the system has reached thermodynamic equilibrium.
[0003] However, these methods all have their own shortcomings in measuring solubility: the static method requires a lot of time to reach equilibrium; the cyclic method must ensure that the gas phase is not affected by condensation or overheating inside the equipment before chromatographic analysis in order to reduce errors; the bubble point and dew point method is difficult to operate and it is hard to determine whether the mixture in the reaction vessel has reached the bubble point (dew point); the flow method is difficult to measure continuously and accurately, and requires a compressor for transporting gas and a pump for transporting liquid, resulting in high experimental costs; the in-situ spectroscopic method has the advantages of high accuracy, simple sampling and maintaining system equilibrium, but it is not yet clear whether the density change of supercritical carbon dioxide will affect the absorption of the spectrum.
[0004] Therefore, establishing a testing method with high data accuracy, fast detection speed, and the ability to continuously measure the solubility of carbon dioxide in formation water under high temperature and high pressure is of great significance to the development of carbon dioxide sequestration technology.
