TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of unconventional natural gas exploitation, and particularly relates to a high-pressure mixed gas preparation method considering the influence of temperature and pressure. BACKGROUND
[0002] The efficient development and utilization of unconventional natural gas resources such as coalbed methane, and the feasibility evaluation of carbon dioxide enhanced coalbed methane recovery and storage (CO2-ECBM) technology, are highly dependent on the in-depth study of the gas adsorption characteristics of coal. CO2-ECBM technology is to inject CO2 into deep unrecoverable coal seams, and its essence is the competitive adsorption process of different gas components (mainly CO2 and CH4) on the surface of coal matrix, which uses the competitive adsorption mechanism to replace and drive the gas (mainly CH4) in the coal seam, thereby improving the gas recovery rate. Since the study of competitive adsorption of gases in coal is mainly carried out in the laboratory, it is of great theoretical and engineering significance to accurately prepare high-pressure mixed gas, simulate the temperature and pressure conditions of the reservoir, and deeply study the competitive adsorption mechanism of multi-component gas in coal.
[0003] The commonly used methods for preparing mixed gas include partial pressure method, static volume method, flow method, permeation method and weighing method, etc. Among them, the partial pressure method is simple to operate and low in cost, but requires accurate pressure measurement equipment; the static volume method has simple equipment structure and low cost, but has low preparation accuracy; the flow method has high preparation accuracy, but its instrument and equipment are complex and expensive, and need to be calibrated and maintained regularly, and it is not suitable for preparing high-concentration gas, and is usually used for preparing special mixed gas (polar gas, etc.); the permeation method can prepare ppm-level or even ppb-level ultra-low concentration mixed gas, but requires a precise temperature control system and a permeation device, and is suitable for limited gases; the weighing method controls the molar mass fraction of each component gas by controlling the mass of each component, which has high requirements for equipment and operation, and is suitable for preparing a small amount of mixed gas with high accuracy. In the study of the competitive adsorption mechanism of gases in coal, the component ratio of the mixed gas required by the experiment often changes, and the use of industrial pre-prepared mixed gas often cannot meet the experimental gas conditions that need to be frequently adjusted, and the pre-prepared mixed gas purchased will have gas stratification phenomenon after long-term storage, resulting in changes in the component ratio of the pre-prepared gas. In addition, the experimental cost of purchasing a large number of pre-prepared mixed gas components is high, therefore, the present application proposes a high-pressure mixed gas preparation method considering the influence of temperature and pressure to solve the problems in the prior art. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the above problems, the present application aims to provide a high-pressure mixed gas preparation method considering the influence of temperature and pressure, which can correct the pressure of each component of the mixed gas according to the ratio of each component in the target mixed gas combined with the collected temperature data, thereby providing a reliable gas source for the study of the competitive adsorption mechanism of multi-component gas in coal and rock.

[0067] S202, calculating the compression factor Z, the steps are as follows:
[0068] Firstly, the Lee-Kesler equation is selected as the state equation, the compression factor Z of each component gas in the high-pressure mixed gas is calculated, and the expression is as follows:
[0069]
[0070] In the formula, Z is the fluid compression factor; Z 0 is the compression factor of a simple fluid component (ω=0); Z R is the compression factor of n-octane component (ω R= 0.3978) of the compressibility factor; ω is the eccentric factor of the simple fluid component; ω R is the eccentric factor of the n-octane component.

[0076] Substitute the same P r , T r into the formula to obtain V r R .
[0077] Z is calculated by the following formula R :
[0078]
[0079] According to the expression formula of the compressibility factor Z, the value of Z at a certain temperature T and pressure P is calculated.
[0080] The compressibility factor Z is introduced, and according to the modified mixed gas calculation method, the actual gas state equation (i.e. the second gas state equation) is selected to calculate the partial pressure of each component of the mixed gas. The specific steps are as follows:
[0081] PV = nZRT
[0082] In the formula, P is the gas pressure, in MPa; V is the container volume, in L; n is the amount of substance of the gas, in mol; Z is the compressibility factor of the gas; R is the ideal gas constant, 8.314 J / (mol·K); T is the temperature, in K.

[0094] If P meets the condition P m -k2<P<P m +k2, output the partial pressure of each component gas of the mixed gas; if it does not meet the condition, iteration needs to be performed again.
[0095] The specific rules of iteration are:
[0096] If P m -k2, adjust P1=P1+(N-1)k1, P i =P i -k1(i=1);
[0097] If P m +k2, adjust P1=P1-(N-1)k1, P i =P i +k1(i≠1).
[0098] S206, output the partial pressure of each component gas of the mixed gas: through iteration, the partial pressure of each component gas of the mixed gas is calculated.
[0099] According to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the present embodiment, the component gas one is methane (CH4), and the component gas two is carbon dioxide (CO2), and the mixed gas preparation operation process according to the present method realizes high-precision proportioning of 25% concentration CH4 and 75% concentration CO2 mixed gas, and according to the determination result of the gas chromatograph, the chromatographic peaks of the prepared mixed gas are basically overlapped, which proves that the mixed gas prepared by the method has good repeatability and reliability.
