Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of static experimental device technology, and in particular to a visual supercritical carbon dioxide immersion in-situ static experimental system. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of industrialization, large amounts of carbon dioxide are emitted, and excessive carbon emissions pose a huge challenge to addressing environmental problems such as global warming and the greenhouse effect, seriously affecting the future living environment of humankind. Global warming and the greenhouse effect have gradually impacted human production activities, and CO2 is considered one of the main culprits of global warming. To reduce atmospheric carbon content, many scholars have proposed various methods to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Among them, geological carbon dioxide sequestration has received high attention globally due to its enormous potential and high safety. Geological carbon dioxide sequestration refers to injecting carbon dioxide into geological formations under high pressure to achieve the purpose of sequestering carbon dioxide. Since deep, unminable coal seams are naturally favorable locations for geological carbon dioxide sequestration, sequestering carbon dioxide into deep, unminable coal seams can reduce the CO2 content in the atmosphere and also replace the extraction of methane gas from coal seams, achieving two effects at once, which is of great significance. In deep environments, the increased temperature and pressure make carbon dioxide readily form a supercritical state (temperature 31.1℃, pressure 7.38MPa), exhibiting some properties of both gases and liquids. When supercritical CO2 interacts with coal, it undergoes complex physicochemical reactions with the coal matrix, altering the internal structure of the coal, promoting the development and connection of internal fractures, and consequently affecting its mechanical properties. This ultimately leads to deformation, failure, and structural damage within the coal seam, causing secondary disasters. Therefore, changes in the mechanical properties of coal are directly related to the effectiveness and safety of CO2 geological sequestration.
[0003] Existing studies have shown that after supercritical carbon dioxide immersion, coal exhibits a trend of decreasing micropore and mesopore content and increasing macropore content at the microscopic level. Macroscopically, this manifests as a decrease in the elastic modulus and peak strength of the coal, along with increased degradation, as supercritical CO2 treatment progresses. The mechanical damage evolution effect of supercritical CO2 on coal is a cumulative process from micro to macro. Because the erosive effect of supercritical CO2 on coal causes minute deformations on its surface and the formation of microcracks during loading, random speckle patterns are sprayed onto the sample surface. Images of the sample failure are captured using a high-speed camera, and digital image correlation (DIC) technology is used to import the captured digital images into an analysis system for full-field strain and displacement calculations. This monitors the microscopic evolution of the global strain field of the sample, providing a direct understanding of the crack initiation and evolution process and damage state of multi-fractured coal from multiple perspectives. Currently, mechanical tests on coal and rock after supercritical carbon dioxide immersion conducted domestically and internationally can be broadly categorized into two types:
[0004] The first method involves immersing the sample in a supercritical carbon dioxide immersion tank for a certain period of time, then removing it and placing it under a mechanical testing machine for mechanical testing. Although this method can take pictures of the sample when it is damaged and perform DIC post-processing, the desorption of carbon dioxide and the pressure changes after the sample is removed have a significant impact on the test results.
[0005] The second method combines a supercritical carbon dioxide immersion tank with a pressure machine to conduct in-situ mechanical tests. While this method allows for in-situ mechanical testing, the closed design of the tanks prevents the photographic observation of the specimen's failure type. Furthermore, neither of these methods can systematically detect the amount of carbon dioxide adsorbed on the specimen.
[0006] Therefore, in order to study the strain field changes on the surface of the specimen while conducting in-situ mechanical experiments, it is urgent to develop a visual supercritical carbon dioxide immersion in-situ static experimental system. Utility Model Content

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0033] This invention includes a gas supply system, a loading system, an immersion tank, a strain measurement system, a digital speckle measurement system, and a degassing system. The overall structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0066] The pressure vacuum gauge 16 has a display range of -0.1 to 10 MPa, and the vacuum pump 20 has a pumping speed of 40 L / min.
[0067] The materials of the soaking tank body 27, top cover 33, flange 36, pressure head 38, and glass cover 44 are all high-alloy austenitic steel or nickel-based alloy.
[0068] Both the sealing ring and the sealant are made of corrosion-resistant materials. The heating plate 29 has an adjustable temperature, which can be raised to a maximum of 100°C. The circuit of the heating plate 29 is connected to the insulating electrode, which can be connected to an external power source.
[0069] The transparent glass 43 is made of sapphire glass, which has the characteristics of chemical corrosion resistance, high hardness, and good light transmission. Its thickness is 20mm and it can withstand the high pressure of supercritical carbon dioxide.
[0070] The average wall thickness of the soaking tank 27 is 20mm, the maximum air pressure it can withstand is 25MPa, and the internal volume of the tank is 2600mL.
[0071] In the preparation phase of the experiment, an airtightness check was first performed. Electric valve 17 was closed, and the first gas valve 2 and the second gas valve 8 were opened. The first pressure reducing valve 4 was adjusted to supply carbon dioxide into the first pipeline, and heater 5 remained open. Heating plate 29 was turned on to heat the temperature to 31°C. Carbon dioxide booster pump 7 was turned on to pressurize the soaking tank 10. When the reading on the second pressure gauge 9 reached 7.3 MPa, the second gas valve 8, carbon dioxide booster pump 7, and first gas valve 2 were closed. At this point, the carbon dioxide was in a supercritical state. After a period of time, if the reading on the second pressure gauge 9 remained unchanged or fluctuated by only 0.05 MPa, the airtightness was considered good. Heating plate 29 was closed, and the third gas valve 21 and electric valve 17 were opened to depressurize the supercritical carbon dioxide into the gas collecting bottle 22. After the reading on the pressure vacuum gauge 16 stabilized, vacuum pump 20 was turned on to extract the remaining carbon dioxide gas from the soaking tank. Then, the third gas valve 21 and vacuum pump 20 were closed.
[0072] Strain gauges 40 are attached to both sides of the sample body 26 to be tested. The strain gauges 40 are connected to insulating electrodes 47, which are connected to an external power source. The sample body 26 is placed inside the immersion tank 27. The third gas valve 21, electric valve 17, and vacuum pump 20 are opened to evacuate the sample. When the pressure gauge 16 reads approximately -0.1 MPa, the evacuation is complete, and the third gas valve 21, electric valve 17, and vacuum pump 20 are closed. The first gas valve 2 and the second gas valve 8 are opened, and the first pressure reducing valve 4 is adjusted to supply carbon dioxide into the first pipeline. The heater 5 remains open. The heating plate 29 is opened to heat the sample to 31°C. The carbon dioxide booster pump 7 is turned on to pressurize the immersion tank 27. When the second pressure gauge 9 reads 7.3 MPa, the second gas valve 8, carbon dioxide booster pump 7, and first gas valve 2 are closed. At this point, the carbon dioxide is in a supercritical state. The strain gauge 24 is turned on, and the data from the strain gauge 24 is recorded in the computer 23. After the sample body 26 is immersed for 24 hours (immersion time can be customized), the high-speed camera 25 is aimed at the visualization window on the immersion tank 27, keeping it focused on the surface of the sample body 26. The frame-type pressure testing machine 11 is started by pressing the start button 14, and the descent button 13 is adjusted so that the crossbeam pressure bar stops just before contacting the indenter 38. The loading rate is set, the high-speed camera 25 is turned on, and the test begins. During the experiment, the crossbeam pressure bar continuously applies pressure to the indenter 38, slowly pressing it down and continuously contacting the sample body 26. During this slow process, the high-speed camera 25 records the failure process of the sample body 26 until the sample body 26 fails, at which point the indenter 38 stops pressing down. Furthermore, in the event of any emergency during the experiment, the experiment can be stopped using the emergency stop button 15.
[0073] The test ends when obvious deformation and cracks appear on the surface of the specimen 26. Save the experimental data, turn off the strain gauge 24 and high-speed camera 25, and adjust the rise button 12 of the frame-type pressure testing machine 11 to raise the crossbeam pressure bar of the frame-type pressure testing machine 11. Turn off the heating plate 29, open the third gas valve 21 and the electric valve 17 to depressurize the supercritical carbon dioxide into the gas collecting bottle 22. After the pressure vacuum gauge 16 reading stabilizes, turn on the vacuum pump 20 to extract the residual carbon dioxide gas in the soaking tank 27, then close the third gas valve 21 and the vacuum pump 20, and remove the specimen 26. The test ends.
[0074] Furthermore, this invention can perform visualized static experiments under single temperature and single pressure variable conditions. Specifically, it can measure the amount of carbon dioxide adsorbed on the sample body 26 after supercritical carbon dioxide immersion, and simultaneously visualize the changes in the static experiment through the transparent glass 43. The specific steps are as follows:
[0075] In the preparation phase of the experiment, an airtightness check was first performed. Electric valve 17 was closed, and the first gas valve 2 and the second gas valve 8 were opened. The first pressure reducing valve 4 was adjusted to supply carbon dioxide into the first pipeline, and heater 5 remained open. Heating plate 29 was turned on to heat the temperature to 31°C. Carbon dioxide booster pump 7 was turned on to pressurize the immersion tank 27. When the reading on the second pressure gauge 9 reached 7.3 MPa, the second gas valve 8, carbon dioxide booster pump 7, and first gas valve 2 were closed. At this point, the carbon dioxide was in a supercritical state. After a period of time, if the reading on the second pressure gauge 9 remained unchanged or fluctuated by only 0.05 MPa, the airtightness was considered good. Heating plate 29 was closed, and the third gas valve 21 and electric valve 17 were opened to depressurize the supercritical carbon dioxide into the gas collecting bottle 22. After the reading on the pressure vacuum gauge 16 stabilized, vacuum pump 20 was turned on to extract the remaining carbon dioxide gas from the immersion tank 27. Then, the third gas valve 21 and vacuum pump 20 were closed.
[0076] The sample body 26 is placed into the immersion tank 27. The third gas valve 21, electric valve 17, and vacuum pump 20 are opened to evacuate the tank. Vacuuming is completed when the pressure gauge 16 reads approximately -0.1 MPa. The electric valve 17, third gas valve 21, and vacuum pump 20 are then closed. The first gas valve 2 and second gas valve 8 are opened, and the first pressure reducing valve 4 is adjusted. The reading of the first pressure gauge 3 is recorded as P1. Carbon dioxide is introduced into the first pipeline. The heater 5 is normally open, and its temperature is recorded as T1. The cumulative gas flow rate of the first gas flow meter 6 is recorded as V1. The compressibility factor of carbon dioxide at this pressure and temperature is found to be z1. The heating plate 29 is opened, and the temperature is controlled and heated to 31°C. The carbon dioxide booster pump 7 is opened to pressurize the immersion tank 27. When the reading of the second pressure gauge 9 is 7.3 MPa, the second gas valve 8, carbon dioxide booster pump 7, and first gas valve 2 are closed. At this point, the carbon dioxide is in a supercritical state. After the sample body 26 is soaked for 24 hours (the soaking time can be customized), the electric valve 17 and the third gas valve 21 are opened, the second pressure reducing valve 18 is adjusted, and the reading of the pressure vacuum gauge 16 is recorded as P2. The compressibility factor of carbon dioxide at this pressure and temperature is found to be z2, so that the supercritical carbon dioxide in the soaking tank 27 flows out in a low-pressure gaseous form. The indoor temperature at this time is recorded as T2. The vacuum pump 20 is turned on to extract the residual gas in the soaking tank 27, and the cumulative gas volume of the second gas flow meter 19 is recorded as V2. All the subtle changes in the gas adsorbed by the sample can be observed through the transparent glass 43.
