Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of experimental determination of carbon dioxide geological sequestration, and specifically relates to an in-situ measurement device and method for water-rock reaction mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] CO2 geological sequestration is currently the most direct, effective, and potentially significant technological means for large-scale reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. It is generally believed that after CO2 injection, it is deposited in the formation in the forms of tectonic sequestration, dissolution sequestration, residual gas sequestration, and mineral sequestration. When CO2 dissolves in formation water, it reacts chemically with minerals, resulting in mineral dissolution and precipitation. On the one hand, mineral reactions can alter the CO2 plume by affecting local formation porosity and permeability, thus influencing tectonic and residual gas sequestration; on the other hand, mineral reactions alter the ionic composition of formation water and the composition of formation minerals, thus affecting dissolution and mineral sequestration. Therefore, clarifying the types, sequence, and total amount of mineral reactions after CO2 or CO2-rich gas mixtures (including residual gaseous impurities from flue gas and other waste gas treatment processes) are crucial for understanding the contributions of different CO2 storage mechanisms and assessing the safety of CO2 sequestration. Currently, micro Raman spectroscopy experiments on mineral reactions involving fluid inclusions exist. However, these experiments require sample loading using millimeter or micrometer-scale capillaries. Loading a single capillary with solid particles, gaseous samples, and liquid samples simultaneously is challenging, making the experimental procedure complex. Furthermore, due to the small sample volume measured in a single measurement, it is difficult to assess the relationship between the total amount of dissolved and precipitated substances produced by the reaction of CO2 with minerals and parameters such as temperature, pressure, and reactant contact area. To address these issues, there is an urgent need to establish a laboratory experimental method that enables quantitative analysis. Summary of the Invention

[0098] A sample of the gas to be injected, with a known gas composition, is loaded into gas container 90;
[0099] A rock sample 130 with a known mineral composition was placed at the bottom of the reaction vessel 30.
[0100] Turn on vacuum pump 40 to evacuate the formation water pipeline, vacuum pipeline, gas pipeline, pipeline where Raman probe 21 is located, sampling pipeline and reaction vessel 30. After completion, turn off vacuum pump 40.

[0112] Example 1

[0114] Step 1: Collect samples of rock cuttings, formation water, and the gas to be injected from the injection site.
[0115] Step 1.1: Conduct whole-rock and clay composition analysis to obtain parameters such as stratigraphic mineral composition. In this embodiment, a D / MAX-2600 X-ray powder diffractometer was used to analyze the rock and clay mineral components. The sample mineral composition was found to be: 61% quartz, 15% plagioclase, 10% siderite, 2% calcite, and 12% clay minerals (illite, kaolinite, chlorite, etc.).
[0116] Step 1.2: Conduct a comprehensive water quality analysis to obtain parameters such as formation water pH and ionic composition. In this embodiment, NaOH solution is used for the experiment.
[0117] Step 1.3: Perform gas chromatography analysis to obtain the composition of the gas sample. In this embodiment, pure CO2 gas is used for the experiment;
[0118] Step 2: Place rock sample 130 into the device.
[0119] Step 2.1: Cut the rock fragments into regularly shaped rock samples 130 and place them at the bottom of the reactor 30. In this embodiment, the rock fragments are cut into 1cm×1cm×1cm cube rock samples 130. The rock samples 130 are weighed to obtain a weight of 2.73g. Then, the rock samples 130 are placed at the bottom of the reactor 30, ensuring that the placed rock samples 130 do not affect the operation of the stirring impeller 32.
[0120] Step 2.2: Connect the in-situ measuring device and ensure its airtightness.
[0121] Step 3: The device pumps in formation water.
[0122] Step 3.1: Turn on the gas-liquid circulation switch group 80, the sampling switch group (first sampling switch group 60, second sampling switch group 70), the vacuum switch 41, and the second gas injection switch 93, turn on the vacuum pump 40, evacuate the device, and then turn off the vacuum switch 41.
[0123] Step 3.2: Open the formation water switch 11 and pump the formation water in the formation water tank 10 into the device by vacuuming. After pumping is complete, close the formation water switch 11. In this embodiment, NaOH solution is used instead of formation water.
[0124] Step 4: Pump CO2 or a CO2-rich mixture into the apparatus. This embodiment uses pure CO2 gas for the experiment.
[0125] Step 4.1: Heating the fluid inside the reactor 30 using the heating jacket 33. In this embodiment, the NaOH solution inside the reactor 30 is heated to 25°C using the heating jacket 33.
[0126] Step 4.2: Observe the reading of thermocouple 120. When the temperature reaches the required level (80℃ in this embodiment), close the gas-liquid circulation switch group 80, turn on the gas injection pump 91, and turn on the second gas injection switch 93, the first sampling switch group 60, the second sampling switch group 70, and the first gas injection switch 92 in sequence to pump the gas into the reaction vessel 30 until the experimental pressure is reached. In this embodiment, the experimental pressure is 1 atm.
[0127] Step 5: Turn on the gas-liquid internal circulation.
[0128] Step 5.1: Close the first gas injection switch 92 and open the gas-liquid circulation switch group 80.
[0129] Step 5.2: Turn on the liquid circulation pump 12 and the gas circulation pump 94 to start the internal circulation of liquid and gas.
[0130] Step 6: Begin experimental measurement.
[0131] Step 6.1: Turn on the stirring impeller 32 to accelerate the dissolution of pure CO2 gas in the NaOH solution.
[0132] Step 6.2: Observe the pressure sensor 95. When the reading of the pressure sensor 95 no longer decreases, turn off the first sampling switch group 60, remove the first sampler 50, and perform chromatographic analysis on the gas in the first sampler 50 to obtain the gas phase composition. This composition is used to analyze the mass exchange between the liquid and gas phases during the dissolution process. In this embodiment, since pure CO2 gas is used, the gas composition does not change. When using a CO2-rich gas mixture for the experiment, due to the different partial pressures and solubilities of different gases in formation water, this step shows that the composition of the remaining gas changes after the CO2-rich gas mixture partially dissolves in the formation water.
[0133] Step 6.3: The Raman spectral signal is received at the connector 22 via the Raman probe 21 and transmitted to the Raman host 20. Raman spectral analysis is performed at regular intervals until the spectral data obtained by the Raman probe 21 no longer changes, completing the Raman spectral measurement. This measurement is used to analyze changes in the liquid phase composition caused by CO2 dissolution and rock chemical reactions. In this embodiment, the analysis focuses on changes in the liquid phase composition caused by CO2 dissolution, within a Raman shift range of 900–1450 cm⁻¹. -1 Within the displacement range, the highest peak displacement was 1384 cm. -1 Secondly, 1020cm -1 And the displacement is 1276cm -1 and 1370cm -1 The two weaker peaks, 1384 cm⁻¹, increase with time from second 0 to second 300. -1 and 1276cm -1 The two peaks gradually increase. Given CO2 (dissolved) and HCO3. - The characteristic peaks appeared at 1384 cm⁻¹. -1 and 1276cm -1 1020cm -1 and 1370cm -1 Therefore, it can be concluded that CO2 completely dissolves and reaches saturation after 300 seconds of reaction. The reactions that occur after CO2 dissolves in water include equations (1) and (2):
[0134] CO2 (gas phase) → CO2 (dissolved) (1)
[0135] CO2 + NaOH → HCO3 - + Na + (2)
[0136] Taking the siderite reaction as an example, this study analyzes the changes in liquid phase composition caused by rock chemical reactions. The highest peak displacement was 1100 cm⁻¹ at 330 seconds of reaction. -1 This corresponds to the characteristic peak of amorphous ferrous carbonate. At 2100 seconds into the reaction, the peak position shift of the highest peak was 1083 cm⁻¹. -1 The corresponding characteristic peaks of siderite indicate that the chemical reactions that occur after CO2 dissolves in NaOH solution include those shown in equation (3):
[0137] HCO3 - + Fe 2+ → FeCO3 + H + (3)
[0138] Step 6.4: Close the second sampling switch group 70, remove the second sampler 51, and perform chromatographic analysis on the gas in the second sampler 51 to obtain the gas phase composition. This composition is used to analyze the mass exchange between the liquid and gas phases during the rock chemical reaction process. In this embodiment, since pure CO2 gas is used, the gas composition does not change. When using a CO2-rich gas mixture for the experiment, different gases undergo different chemical reactions with rock minerals after dissolving in formation water. Changes in ions in the liquid phase may cause some gases to precipitate or more gases to dissolve, resulting in changes in the composition of the remaining gas.
[0139] Step 6.5: Turn off the liquid circulation pump 12 and the gas circulation pump 94, turn off the heating jacket 33, turn on the vent switch 111, and depressurize the device through the vent line 110.
[0140] Step 6.6: Remove rock sample 130 from reaction vessel 30, weigh it, and perform whole-rock and clay composition analysis to obtain the weight change and mineral composition change caused by the chemical reaction. In this embodiment, the weight of rock sample 130 after the reaction was measured to be 2.78g, with a total of 0.05g of mineral precipitate formed. The rock and clay mineral components of rock sample 130 after the reaction were analyzed using a D / MAX-2600 X-ray powder diffractometer, and the mineral composition of the sample was found to be: 59% quartz, 15.5% plagioclase, 10% siderite, 4% calcite, and 11.5% clay minerals (illite, kaolinite, chlorite, etc.). By comprehensively analyzing the experimental data obtained in steps 6.2 to 6.6, the composition of the 0.05g mineral precipitate can be determined.
