Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of CO2 mineralization and coal mine goaf treatment technology, and in particular to an experimental device and method for simulating CO2 mineralization in goaf areas. Background Technology
[0002] CO2 sequestration provides an effective way to achieve the "dual carbon" goal. With the large-scale mining of coal mines and the formation of large-scale goaf areas, CO2 sequestration using coal mine goaf areas has been widely studied. At present, its technical routes mainly include directly utilizing the huge space of the goaf area for CO2 sequestration and using materials that can absorb CO2 for CO2 mineralization sequestration. Among them, CO2 mineralization sequestration provides a stable and leak-free method for fixing CO2, and does not even require long-term monitoring.
[0003] Large quantities of industrial solid waste, such as fly ash and carbide slag, are ideal raw materials for CO2 mineralization. By filling industrial solid waste into goaf areas and injecting CO2, a mineralization reaction can be achieved, which can achieve the triple effect of industrial solid waste treatment, CO2 emission reduction and goaf treatment. The mineralized carbonate products are also expected to achieve the effect of preventing and extinguishing fires caused by residual coal in goaf areas.
[0004] Current research on the mineralization of industrial solid waste and CO2 mainly focuses on laboratory conditions, with commonly used instruments including reactors and fluidized beds. However, given the unique conditions of goaf areas, such as high humidity, air leakage, and the presence of large amounts of coal-rock mixtures, existing experimental setups struggle to simulate goaf conditions for conducting mineralization experiments on industrial solid waste and CO2, leading to significant discrepancies between actual and experimental results.

[0040] 6) Leakage plugging effect study: By recording the dynamic changes of pressure values at the front, middle and rear of the filler before injection of the injection material in step 3) and after the mineralization reaction process in step 5) over time, the leakage plugging effect of CO2 mineralization material was obtained.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the invention. For those skilled in the art, some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted.
[0050] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below.
[0051] Example 1
[0052] like Figure 1 An experimental device for simulating CO2 mineralization in a goaf includes a reaction chamber, a material injection system, a gas injection system, a gas extraction system, and a monitoring system.
[0053] The reaction chamber includes a base 6 and an outer shell 11. The outer shell 11 has a viewing glass window on its front. Inside the outer shell 11 is a reaction cavity 4, which contains packing material 8, a coal-rock mixture with a mixing ratio of 4:1. A camera 15 is mounted outside the reaction chamber via a foldable connecting arm. The foldable connecting arm includes two connecting rods and two universal joints, and is mounted on the reaction chamber via the base. The connecting arm can be manually adjusted to fold or extend in different directions, thereby adjusting the camera's shooting angle to observe the air leakage situation of the CO2 mineralization material in the reaction cavity.
[0054] Except for the side with the viewing glass window, the outer shell 11 of the chamber is insulated from the reaction chamber 4. A small door is provided on the back of the outer shell 11 for filling the packing material 8. The door is also insulated and can be sealed with the outer shell.
[0055] A top-layer partition 10 is installed at the top of the reaction chamber 4, and several gas injection holes are provided at the top of the reaction chamber 4. Figure 1 (Omitted) The number of air injection holes is 10, and each hole is fitted with a sealing cap, allowing them to be opened or closed. The left side wall of the outer casing has 5 grouting holes, and the right side wall has 5 air extraction holes, all fitted with sealing caps, allowing them to be opened or closed.

The gas pipelines from the two cylinders are connected together, and each pipeline is equipped with a valve and a gas flow meter. Depending on the experimental conditions, the type of gas injected can be selected according to actual requirements, including pure CO2, pure N2, and mixtures of CO2 and N2 in different proportions. For example, if the injected gas is flue gas, the CO2 concentration is adjusted to 15%-20%, and the N2 concentration to 80%-85%. If the injected gas is CO2, only the CO2 cylinder valve is opened for injection; if the injected gas is N2, only the N2 cylinder valve is opened for injection. Gas cylinders 1 are connected to one of the injection ports of the reaction chamber via injection pipeline 26. The injection pipeline 26 is fitted to the injection port to ensure a tight connection. A gas flow meter 2 is installed on the injection pipeline 26 to monitor the amount of gas injected.
[0057] The left side of the reaction chamber is connected to a material injection system, which includes an injection machine 3. The injection machine 3 is connected to one of the grouting holes 7 on the left side wall of the reaction chamber via an injection pipe 22. The injection pipe 22 and the grouting hole are compatible and can achieve a tight connection. A grouting valve 5 is installed on the injection pipe 22.
[0058] The right side of the reaction chamber is connected to an extraction system, which includes an extraction pump 14. The extraction pump 14 is connected to an extraction port 13 on the right side wall of the reaction chamber via an extraction pipe 23. The extraction pipe 23 and the extraction port 13 are compatible and can be tightly connected. An extraction valve 24 is installed on the extraction pipe 23.
[0059] The monitoring system includes a temperature monitoring module 16, a pressure monitoring module 17, a pH monitoring module 18, a gas concentration monitoring module 19, a humidity monitoring module 20, and a camera 15, which is a high-speed camera.

The computer system can remotely control the gas injection system, material injection system, extraction system, and monitoring system, and can activate the gas injection system, material injection system, and extraction system as needed to adjust the required temperature, humidity, pressure, and airflow conditions of the reaction chamber.
[0060] As a further preferred configuration, an atomizing nozzle 12 is installed downwards in the center of the top partition 10, and each gas injection hole is connected to the atomizing nozzle 12, which can uniformly spray gas into the reaction chamber 4; a heating component 9 is laid in the insulation material at the bottom of the reaction chamber 4. The heating component 9 consists of a heater and a heating element. The heater is controlled by a computer system and can heat the bottom of the reaction chamber 4 to maintain the temperature of the reaction chamber at the required temperature. The temperature range that can be heated is 30-70℃.
[0061] The insulation material is ultra-fine glass fiber cotton.
[0062] Temperature monitoring module 16 includes two temperature sensors, respectively located in the reaction chamber 4 (space excluding packing) and the center of packing 8, to monitor the temperature T1 of reaction chamber 4 and the temperature T2 of packing 8, respectively; pressure monitoring module 17 includes three pressure sensors, respectively located in front, middle, and rear of packing 8, to monitor the pressures P1, P2, and P3 in front, middle, and rear of packing 8, respectively; gas concentration monitoring module 19 includes a CO2 concentration sensor, located in reaction chamber 4, to monitor the CO2 concentration C in reaction chamber 4; pH monitoring module 18 includes three pH probes, respectively located in front, middle, and rear of packing 8, to monitor the pH values pH1, pH2, and pH3 in front, middle, and rear of packing 8, respectively; humidity monitoring module 20 includes two humidity sensors, respectively located in reaction chamber 4 (space excluding packing) and inside packing 8, to monitor the humidity W1 and W2 inside reaction chamber 4 and inside packing 8, respectively; a high-speed camera is located on the front of the reaction chamber, facing the viewing glass window. Data from each monitoring module in the monitoring system and images captured by high-speed cameras are transmitted to computer system 21 via line network 25 for real-time display, facilitating real-time control by the computer system.
[0063] The steps for using this device are as follows:
[0064] 1) Determine the conditions of the goaf: Obtain the temperature, humidity, pressure and wind speed conditions within the goaf through on-site investigation.
[0065] 2) Reaction chamber condition settings: Fill the reaction chamber 4 with packing material 8, turn on the atomizing nozzle 12, and observe the change of humidity value W1 in the reaction chamber 4 through the computer system 21; set the heating temperature of the heating component 9 through the computer system 21, and monitor the change of temperature value T1 in the reaction chamber 4 at the same time.
[0066] Turn on the air pump 14 and set the air pumping rate of the air pump 14 according to the wind speed conditions in the goaf. When the parameters in the reaction chamber meet the conditions in the goaf, proceed to the next step and turn off the atomizing nozzle at the same time.
[0067] 3) Material injection: The material is injected into the reaction cavity 4 through the material injection system. The injection material is fly ash-based foam gel. The material injection is observed through a visual glass window until the material completely covers the coal and rock filler 8.
[0068] 4) Gas injection: Determine the gas injection location. Taking the left side as an example, close the right opening of the top partition 10. Take pure CO2 as an example for the injection gas. Open CO2 cylinder 1, adjust the gas flow meter 2 to control the gas injection rate, and monitor the CO2 gas concentration in the reaction chamber at the same time. When the CO2 gas concentration is 1.5 mol / L, close cylinder 1 and stop the gas injection.
[0069] During the experiment, the injection position can be controlled by opening and closing the opening on the top partition 10. If left-side injection is selected, the right-side opening of the top partition 10 can be closed, allowing CO2 gas to be injected from the left side of the reaction chamber 4; if right-side injection is selected, the left-side opening of the partition can be closed; injection in the middle can also be selected. The target concentration of CO2 gas after injection is variable and controlled by the injection time.
[0070] 5) Mineralization reaction process: A high-speed camera is used to capture the flow of fly ash-based foam gel in the coal-rock mixture through a visualization glass window. The pH value, temperature, humidity, pressure and gas concentration changes during the reaction are monitored by a monitoring system. Once the measured parameters stabilize, the mineralization reaction is considered complete. The CO2 mineralization rate is calculated based on the pH value and gas concentration changes.
[0071] 6) Leakage plugging effect study: By recording the dynamic changes of the pressure values P1, P2, and P3 of the filler (8) before the injection of the material in step 3) and after the mineralization reaction process in step 5) over time, the leakage plugging effect of the CO2 mineralization material was obtained. Figure 2 The image shown is a photograph of the effect after the material was poured in.
[0072] Example 2
[0073] Heating component 9 consists of a heater and a heating oil pipe, with the heating oil pipe filled with heating oil. Automatic valves are installed at each air injection hole, grout injection hole 7, and air extraction hole. Operation is controlled by opening and closing these automatic valves.
[0074] During gas injection, a mixture of CO2 and N2 in different ratios is injected, with the CO2 concentration adjusted to 15% and the N2 concentration to 85%.
[0075] The outer casing 11 has viewing glass windows on the front and upper right side. A camera 15 is mounted outside the reaction chamber via a foldable connecting arm. The foldable connecting arm includes three connecting rods and three universal joints, and is mounted on the reaction chamber via a base. The connecting arm can be manually adjusted to fold or extend in different directions, allowing for shooting from the front or side of the outer casing, thus adjusting the camera's shooting angle to observe the air leakage situation of the CO2 mineralization material inside the reaction chamber. When not shooting, it can be folded away to reduce space occupation.
[0076] Other areas not mentioned are the same as in Example 1.
[0077] Example 3
[0078] During gas injection, a mixture of CO2 and N2 in different ratios is injected, with the CO2 concentration adjusted to 10% and the N2 concentration to 90%.
[0079] A portion of the front and top surfaces of the outer casing 11 are fitted with viewing glass windows, while the corresponding top position of the reaction chamber 4 lacks a top partition. The number of air injection holes can be set as needed, ranging from 4 to 8. Viewing glass windows are installed where no air injection holes or air passages are present. A camera 15 is mounted outside the reaction chamber via a foldable connecting arm. The foldable connecting arm comprises three connecting rods and three universal joints, mounted on the reaction chamber via a base. The connecting arm adopts a robotic arm design from existing technology. Each connecting rod and universal joint is equipped with a sensor, motor, and connecting cable. Its position can be automatically adjusted via a computer system 21 to achieve folding or extension in different directions. It can capture images from the front of the outer casing or directly facing the top viewing glass window to observe the air leakage situation of the CO2 mineralization material in the reaction chamber. When not in use, it can be folded away to reduce space occupation.
[0080] Other areas not mentioned are the same as in Example 1.
[0081] Example 4
[0082] 1) The reaction chamber 4 and the packing 8 are heated by the heating component 9, and the temperature is set to 70℃. The temperature T1 of the reaction chamber 4 and the temperature T2 of the packing 8 are monitored by the temperature monitoring module to show the temperature change of the coal body in the low-temperature oxidation process before the reaction.
[0083] 2) Conduct CO2 mineralization experiments, as in Example 1;
[0084] 3) Repeat step (1) again and monitor the temperature change to show the temperature change during the low-temperature oxidation process of the coal after the reaction;
