Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas solubility testing technology, and is a device and method for measuring gas solubility. Background Technology

[0002] Gas solubility testing is a method for quantifying the ability of gases to dissolve in a liquid phase, and it has important applications in many industrial fields. In environmental science, determining the solubility of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in water can assess ocean acidification and climate change, supporting carbon sequestration technologies. In chemical production, such as ammonia synthesis and beverage manufacturing, precise control of gas solubility is required to ensure quality and efficiency. In the biomedical field, solubility analysis helps in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases by analyzing the mechanisms of oxygen and carbon dioxide transport in blood. In addition, gas solubility data provides fundamental support for process optimization and scientific innovation in energy development, food processing, and water quality monitoring.

[0003] Currently, the equilibrium-desorption method is mainly used to test gas solubility. First, the gas and liquid phases are brought to a dissolution equilibrium state under certain temperature and pressure. Then, the gas and liquid phases are separated by flash evaporation or desorption under normal temperature and pressure. The solubility is then calculated after measuring the volumes of the gas and liquid separately.

[0004] Chinese patent document CN115452985A discloses an apparatus for determining the solubility parameters of a gas in a liquid and its application. The apparatus includes a gas phase feeding device, a measuring device, a gas phase collecting device, a liquid phase feeding device, a liquid phase collecting device, a temperature control device, an inert gas replacement device, and a computer device. The gas phase feeding device, measuring device, and gas phase collecting device are interconnected. The liquid phase feeding device, measuring device, and liquid phase collecting device are interconnected. The gas phase feeding device, measuring device, and temperature control device are each connected to the computer device. The inert gas replacement device is connected to the gas phase feeding device, measuring device, gas phase collecting device, liquid phase feeding device, liquid phase collecting device, and temperature control device.

[0005] Chinese patent document CN106814177A discloses a device and method for testing the physical properties of gases in extra-heavy oil. The device includes: a high-temperature and high-pressure mixing unit, a density measurement unit, a viscosity measurement unit, a sampling unit, and a solubility measurement unit. The high-temperature and high-pressure mixing unit is connected to the density measurement unit, viscosity measurement unit, sampling unit, and solubility measurement unit, respectively. The sampling unit is connected to the density measurement unit, viscosity measurement unit, and solubility measurement unit, respectively. The high-temperature and high-pressure mixing unit includes a sample preparation device and a control device. The sample preparation device is equipped with an inlet and an outlet, and the control device includes a heater.

[0006] In the above testing methods, the solute ratio can easily change when the liquid phase is transferred between different devices; and gas components may remain in the liquid phase after gas-liquid desorption separation, leading to errors in gas solubility calculations. This method is only suitable for measuring the solubility of gases that are slightly soluble or insoluble in liquids at normal pressure and do not contain volatile components in the liquid medium. Furthermore, due to the presence of a phase interface between the gas and liquid, the dissolution process is relatively slow, and it is difficult to quickly reach phase equilibrium using only stirring methods, resulting in a long testing time.

[0007] From a thermodynamic perspective, the dissolution of a gas in a liquid is a dynamic phase equilibrium process. Initially, when the liquid solvent and gaseous solute come into contact, the gas gradually dissolves in the liquid phase, while volatile components from the liquid solvent enter the gas phase. When the gas is saturated and dissolved in the liquid, i.e., in gas-liquid phase equilibrium, both the volume and composition of the gas and liquid phases change relative to the initial state. To accurately determine the solubility of a gas, it is necessary to precisely measure the liquid volume and the equivalent gas volume that enters the liquid from the gas phase. Summary of the Invention

[0014] The right side of the aforementioned booster cylinder body may be provided with a test hole that connects the inside and outside, and a second pressure gauge is fixedly installed on the right side of the booster cylinder body corresponding to the test hole position.

[0015] The second technical solution of the present invention is achieved through the following measures: a method for measuring gas solubility, comprising the following steps:

[0016] S1, open the liquid inlet valve, close the sampling valve, connect the upper end of the sapphire glass tube to the first connecting line through the three-way valve, and use the gas to be tested in the gas cylinder to purge the mixing cylinder, the first cylinder, the second cylinder, the first connecting line, the second connecting line and the liquid inlet line. After purging, connect the upper end of the sapphire glass tube to the venting line through the three-way valve.

[0017] S2, start the first drive mechanism, move the left end of the first piston rod to the left end of the first cylinder, and stop the first drive mechanism;

[0028] The following are further optimizations and / or improvements to the second technical solution of the above invention:

[0029] The purging process in step S1 above is as follows: Open the gas cylinder and adjust the pressure reducing valve so that the pressure of the inlet pipeline is at the set value.

A sampling valve 9 is installed on the first connecting line 8. The lower outer side of the mixing cylinder 4 has a liquid inlet that communicates with the inside and outside. A liquid inlet line 10 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the mixing cylinder 4 corresponding to the position of the liquid inlet. The lower outer side of the mixing cylinder 4 corresponding to the position above the liquid inlet has a... An internally and externally connected mounting hole is provided. A first cylinder 1 is fixedly installed on the outside of the mixing cylinder 4 corresponding to the mounting hole position. The left end of the first cylinder 1 is provided with an internally and externally connected connecting hole. The first piston rod 11 with its right end sealed and passing through the right end of the first cylinder 1 is provided inside the first cylinder 1. A second cylinder 2 is provided to the right of the first cylinder 1. The second piston rod 12 with its left end sealed and passing through the left end of the second cylinder 2 is provided inside the second cylinder 2. A first drive mechanism 3 is connected between the right end of the first piston rod 11 and the left end of the second piston rod 12. The right end of the second cylinder 2 is provided with a first pressurizing hole and a second pressurizing hole with internally and externally connected at intervals. The first pressurizing hole is fixedly connected to the outlet of the pressurizing component. A second connecting pipe 13 is fixedly connected between the first connecting pipe 8 corresponding to the position between the sampling valve 9 and the upper end cover 5 and the second pressurizing hole.

[0037] According to the requirements, the mixing cylinder 4 has a cylindrical structure with the upper end closed and the lower end open. The upper end cover 5 has a through hole in the center. The sapphire glass cylinder 7 has a tubular structure. The first driving mechanism 3 is a known technology, such as the driving mechanism described in the test device and method for gas viscosity under multiple working conditions disclosed in Chinese patent document CN120352295A.

[0038] During use, the mixing cylinder 4 and the sapphire glass cylinder 7 can mix the gas to be tested and the test liquid. By setting the first driving mechanism 3, the first piston rod 11 can be driven to move back and forth in the first cylinder 1.

The output shaft of the stirring motor 16 is connected to the stirring shaft 14 through the magnetic coupler 17. The outer side of the sapphire glass cylinder 7 is provided with a scale marking layer 18.

[0041] According to the requirements, the magnetic coupler 17 (magnetic coupling) is a known existing technology. During use, by setting the magnetic coupler 17, leakage caused by poor sealing at the connection between the output shaft of the stirring motor 16 or the stirring shaft 14 and the lower end cover 6 can be avoided, which can improve the measurement accuracy. The sapphire glass cylinder 7 is provided with a scale marking layer 18 on the outside, which can obtain the volume from the first connecting pipe 8 to the corresponding position of the scale line. This allows the dissolved volume of the gas being measured to be obtained, making the measurement more convenient. The reciprocating movement of the first piston rod 11 allows the gas being measured to continuously enter and leave the balance vessel from the second cylinder, promoting turbulent contact between the gas being measured and the test liquid. At the same time, the rotation of the stirring blades 15 can accelerate the dissolution of the gas being measured and shorten the gas-liquid equilibrium time.

[0042] Example 3: As an optimization of the above examples, as shown in the appendix. Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a three-way valve 19 and an emptying pipeline 20. A three-way valve 19 is installed between the first connecting pipeline 8, which is located between the second connecting pipeline 13 and the upper end cap 5, and the emptying pipeline 20. A first pressure gauge 21 is installed on the first connecting pipeline 8, which is located between the three-way valve 19 and the sampling valve 9. An inlet valve 22 is installed on the inlet pipeline 10.

[0043] According to the requirements, an inlet funnel 23 is provided above the mixing cylinder 4. The inlet pipeline 10 is fixedly connected between the lower end of the inlet funnel 23 and the inlet hole. The inlet pipeline 10 can also be fixedly connected between the inlet hole and the outlet of the inlet device. In the first state, the upper end of the sapphire glass cylinder 7 and the drain pipeline 20 are not connected. In the second state, the upper end of the sapphire glass cylinder 7 and the drain pipeline 20 are connected. The first pressure gauge 21 can obtain the pressure in the first connecting pipeline 8. The scale marking layer 18 can obtain the volume from the three-way valve 19 to the corresponding position of the scale line.

[0044] Example 4: As an optimization of the above examples, as shown in the appendix. Figure 1As shown, the pressurization assembly includes a pressurizing cylinder 24, a pressurizing piston rod 25, an insulation box 26, a gas cylinder 27, and a second drive mechanism 28. The pressurizing cylinder 24, the first cylinder 1, the second cylinder 2, and the balance vessel are all installed inside the insulation box 26. The pressurizing cylinder 24 has a pressurizing piston rod 25 with its left end sealed and passing through the left end of the pressurizing cylinder 24. The left end of the pressurizing piston rod 25 is connected to the right end of the output shaft of the second drive mechanism 28. The right end of the pressurizing cylinder 24 has an inlet and an outlet that are connected internally and externally. An air inlet line 29 is fixedly connected between the inlet and the outlet of the gas cylinder 27. An air inlet check valve 30 is installed on the air inlet line 29. A pressure reducing valve 31 is installed on the air inlet line 29 at the position between the air inlet check valve 30 and the gas cylinder 27. An air outlet line 32 is fixedly connected between the outlet and the first pressurization hole. An air outlet check valve 33 is installed on the air outlet line 32.

[0045] Depending on the requirements, the insulated box 26 is a known constant temperature box. Alternatively, a heat tracing device can be installed on the outer surface of the pressurizing cylinder 24, the first cylinder 1, the second cylinder 2, and the balance vessel. The second drive mechanism 28 has the same structure as the first drive mechanism 3. During use, the second drive mechanism 28 continuously operates, driving the pressurizing piston rod 25 to move back and forth, thus continuously inputting the gas to be tested from the gas cylinder 27 into the second cylinder 2 and the first connecting pipeline 8.

[0046] Example 5: As an optimization of the above examples, as shown in the appendix. Figure 1 As shown, a test hole with internal and external communication is provided on the outer side of the right side of the booster cylinder 24, and a second pressure gauge 34 is fixedly installed on the right side of the booster cylinder 24 corresponding to the test hole position.

[0047] During use, the pressure of the gas being measured inside the booster cylinder 24 can be observed in real time by setting the second pressure gauge 34.

[0060] S12, open sampling valve 9, take a sample from first connecting line 8, analyze the gas phase composition using gas chromatography, and obtain the volume percentage of the gas being measured.

[0061] In step S5, when the reading of the first pressure gauge 21 reaches the set value p, the volume V of the rodless chamber of the booster cylinder 24 is recorded. 21 The reading of the second pressure gauge 34 is p 21 The volume V of the rodless chamber of the booster cylinder 24 21 The volume V of the rodless chamber of the booster cylinder 24 can be determined by comparing the position of the booster piston rod 25 with its initial position. The product of the inner diameter of the booster cylinder 24 and the distance the booster piston rod 25 has moved relative to its initial position is the volume V of the rodless chamber of the booster cylinder 24. 21Stop the second drive mechanism 28; in step S11, start the first drive mechanism 3, and after the first piston rod 11 moves to the right, it extracts a volume of V from the mixing cylinder 4. i The liquid was observed until the gas phase was detected in the sapphire glass tube 7, and the volume value V was obtained from the scale marking layer 18. K Record the volume V of the rodless chamber of the booster cylinder 24. 22 The reading of the second pressure gauge 34 is p 22 In step S12, gas chromatography is used to analyze the gas phase components and obtain the volume percentage n of the gas being measured.

[0062] The initial volume of the liquid is V, which is the volume of the chamber between the upper end of the lower cap 6 and the three-way valve 19. F Initially, the gas phase volume is the sum of the volumes of the second cylinder 2, the second connecting line 13, and the first connecting line 8 between the second connecting line 13 and the three-way valve 19, denoted as V.

[0078] The above method for measuring gas solubility can be further optimized and / or improved according to actual needs:

[0079] Example 7: As an optimization of the above examples, as shown in the appendix. Figure 1 As shown, the purging process in step S1 is as follows: the gas cylinder 27 is opened and the pressure reducing valve 31 is adjusted so that the pressure of the inlet pipeline 29 is set to the set value. The second drive mechanism 28 is started. After the booster piston rod 25 moves to the left, it draws in the gas to be tested from the gas cylinder 27. After the booster piston rod 25 moves to the right, it delivers the gas to be tested in the booster cylinder 24 to the second cylinder 2. The first drive mechanism 3 is started. The first piston rod 11 and the second piston rod 12 move back and forth. The gas to be tested in the second cylinder 2 is delivered to the first connecting pipeline 8, the sapphire glass cylinder 7 and the mixing cylinder 4, and then discharged after passing through the liquid inlet pipeline 10.

[0080] During the reciprocating motion of the first piston rod 11 and the second piston rod 12, the gas to be tested in the gas cylinder 27 can be used to purge the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2. The reciprocating motion of the first piston rod 11 and the second piston rod 12 ensures that the purging of the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 is more thorough. The upper end of the sapphire glass tube 7 is connected to the first connecting line 8 through the three-way valve 19, that is, the upper end of the sapphire glass tube 7 is not connected to the venting line 20 through the three-way valve 19. The upper end of the sapphire glass tube 7 is connected to the second connecting line 13 through the first connecting line 8.

[0081] After purging, stop the first drive mechanism 3 and the second drive mechanism 28, and repeat the purging process multiple times. This can remove impurities from the first connecting line 8, sapphire glass cylinder 7, mixing cylinder 4, first cylinder 1, second cylinder 2 and liquid inlet line 10, thus avoiding any impact on the measurement process and improving the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0082] The above technical features constitute various embodiments of the present invention, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. Unnecessary technical features can be added or removed according to actual needs to meet the needs of different situations.
