Technical Field

Background Art

[0004] Pipeline transportation is the primary method for transporting CO2 in future carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects. Supercritical transportation technology offers the highest efficiency and lowest cost, and holds promising market prospects. Supercritical transportation technology places extremely high demands on pipeline temperature and pressure control. Even small fluctuations in temperature and pressure under supercritical conditions can cause dramatic changes in CO2 properties, such as density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and specific heat capacity, thereby impacting safe and stable pipeline operation. The temperature and pressure range corresponding to dramatic changes in CO2 properties is typically referred to as the quasi-critical region. Clarifying the extent of this region is crucial for pipeline safety control.

[0005] Affected by the process technology level and purification cost, pipeline CO2 usually contains a certain amount of impurities, which causes the physical properties and phase characteristics of CO2 to shift, and the range of the quasi-critical zone also changes accordingly, increasing the difficulty of controlling supercritical CO2 pipeline transportation. At present, there is no mature method to quickly and accurately delineate the range of the quasi-critical zone of pipeline CO2 containing impurities.

The method first tests the impurity composition of the pipeline-transported CO2, then calculates the physical properties of the CO2 within the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range using an equation of state. The method then divides the temperature range within which the physical properties change dramatically at a constant pressure into the pressure range within which the physical properties change dramatically at a constant temperature. The two division results are then combined to determine the quasi-critical zone of the impure CO2. The method considers the effect of pressure at a constant temperature on the physical properties of CO2, based on the quasi-critical temperature. Furthermore, the method uses the gradient of the physical property parameters as a threshold to define the temperature and pressure ranges, thereby narrowing the scope of the quasi-critical zone and providing a more accurate division of the quasi-critical zone of the impure CO2. This method can provide a basis for the safe control of supercritical CO2 pipeline transportation.

[0095] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0096] The prior art (CN211513994U) relates to a system for purifying impure carbon dioxide acid gas. The purification system includes a carbon dioxide acid gas absorption device, a spray agitator, a constant pressure container, and a molecular sieve adsorption and filtration device. The first input end of the carbon dioxide acid gas absorption device is connected to an associated gas pipeline containing carbon dioxide, and the output end of the carbon dioxide acid gas absorption device is connected to the spray agitator. The absorbed impurity-containing carbon dioxide acid gas is transported to the spray agitator to generate hydrate slurry and methane gas. The spray agitator is connected to the constant pressure container and the hydrate slurry is transported to the constant pressure container for gasification. The constant pressure container is connected to the molecular sieve adsorption and filtration device and the gasification product is transported to the molecular sieve adsorption and filtration device for adsorption and filtration to obtain pure carbon dioxide dry gas.

[0097] The prior art (CN216512855U) discloses a device for high-value and efficient conversion and utilization of carbon dioxide using solar energy, comprising a carbon dioxide capture and purification system, a catalytic reaction system and a product separation system. The carbon dioxide capture and purification system, the catalytic reaction system and the product separation system are connected in sequence. The exhaust gas is first purified by the carbon dioxide capture and purification system and then transported to the catalytic reaction system for catalytic reaction. The gas after the reaction enters the product separation system to separate the synthesis gas in the mixed gas, and the unreacted raw gas is recycled to the catalytic reaction system to continue to participate in the reaction. At the same time, the methane / carbon dioxide intake ratio is dynamically adjusted to improve the methane / carbon dioxide conversion rate. The new device also provides a photovoltaic power generation subsystem, which supplies power to the entire device and system, realizing complete self-sufficiency of the system, achieving efficient utilization of solar energy while achieving negative carbon emissions, and realizing high-value and efficient conversion and utilization of carbon dioxide using solar energy.

[0098] Prior art (CN101231131B) uses a mass transfer separation column system to remove a first impurity selected from oxygen and carbon monoxide from impure liquid carbon dioxide, which is then reboiled via indirect heat exchange with a crude carbon dioxide stream, where the impure liquid carbon dioxide has a higher concentration than the crude carbon dioxide stream. The present invention is particularly suitable for recovering carbon dioxide from flue gases generated by oxyfuel combustion processes or waste gases from hydrogen PSA processes. It has the advantage of reducing the content of the first impurity to no more than 1000 ppm.

[0099] However, none of these existing technologies can quickly and accurately define the quasi-critical zone for pipeline transport of impure CO2. During supercritical CO2 pipeline transportation, even small fluctuations in temperature and pressure can lead to dramatic changes in CO2 properties. Determining the quasi-critical zone, where the most dramatic property changes occur, is essential to ensuring safe and stable pipeline operation.

[0100] In the prior art, the method for determining the quasi-critical region of pure CO2 is to divide the area where the physical properties of CO2 change most dramatically in the PT coordinate diagram, with the CO2 critical pressure (7.38MPa) and the quasi-critical temperature line (a curve connecting the quasi-critical temperatures of CO2 at different pressures) as the center. The quasi-critical region delineated by this method is relatively large, and in practice, pipeline CO2 contains a variety of impurities, which causes the range of the CO2 quasi-critical region to shift. Therefore, the method for determining the quasi-critical region of pure CO2 is not suitable for pipeline CO2 containing impurities. Currently, there is no report on the method for determining the quasi-critical region of pipeline CO2 containing impurities. In addition, the existing CO2 quasi-critical region division method is mainly used for the study of supercritical fluid heat transfer characteristics. For pipeline transportation, its range is too broad, covering almost all pipeline operating conditions, making it difficult to cope with in actual operation.

[0101] In order to solve the problems of the current existing technology, the present invention aims to provide a method and device for determining the quasi-critical zone of pipeline-transported impure carbon dioxide, which can accurately delineate the range of the quasi-critical zone of different types of impure CO2, thereby preventing pipeline conditions from entering this area and causing unstable flow of the fluid, and providing a theoretical reference for the formulation of supercritical CO2 pipeline transportation safety control plan.

[0102] FIG1A shows a flowchart of the steps of a method for determining a quasi-critical zone of pipeline-transported impurity-containing carbon dioxide according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0103] As shown in FIG1A , in step S1 , the critical temperature and critical pressure of the impure carbon dioxide are calculated based on the composition of the pipeline-transmitted impurity-containing carbon dioxide, and the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range is determined in combination with the maximum operating temperature and maximum operating pressure of the pipeline.

[0104] As shown in FIG1A , in step S2 , the physical properties of the impure carbon dioxide are calculated within the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range.

[0105] As shown in FIG1A , in step S3 , the temperature range in which the physical property parameter changes drastically under a constant pressure condition and the pressure range in which the physical property parameter changes drastically under a constant temperature condition are determined respectively, and recorded as a first range and a second range.

[0106] As shown in FIG1A , in step S4 , a quasi-critical region corresponding to pipeline-transported impurity-containing carbon dioxide is obtained based on the first range and the second range.

[0107] In one embodiment, the first range and the second range are determined by the following steps: calculating the numerical gradient components of each point in different directions on the three-dimensional surface of the physical property parameters of the impure carbon dioxide to obtain the first range and the second range.

[0108] In one embodiment, a three-dimensional surface is obtained by the following steps: a three-dimensional surface of the physical property parameters of impure carbon dioxide is constructed with temperature as the X-axis, pressure as the Y-axis, and physical property parameters as the Z-axis.

[0109] In one embodiment, the first range (the temperature range in which the physical property parameters change dramatically under constant pressure conditions) is obtained by the following steps: calculating the numerical gradient component of each point in the X direction on the three-dimensional surface, and recording the calculation results as the first matrix corresponding to the physical property parameters; in the first matrix, screening elements less than a first threshold, and obtaining the first range based on the temperature and pressure corresponding to the elements.

[0110] It should be noted that the present invention can capture the drastic changes in physical parameters under constant pressure conditions by screening elements smaller than the first threshold value in the first matrix.

[0111] In one embodiment, the first threshold is determined by the following steps: averaging the elements in the first matrix to obtain a first average value of the degree of change of the physical property parameter with temperature; setting a temperature threshold correction coefficient based on the operating conditions and design specifications of the pipeline; and calculating the product of the temperature threshold correction coefficient and the first average value as the first threshold of the degree of change of the physical property parameter with temperature.

[0112] In one embodiment, the second range (the pressure range in which the physical property parameters change dramatically under constant temperature conditions) is determined by the following steps: calculating the numerical gradient component in the Y direction of each point on the three-dimensional surface, and recording the calculation results as a second matrix corresponding to the physical property parameters; in the second matrix, screening elements greater than a second threshold, and obtaining the second range based on the temperature and pressure corresponding to the elements.

[0113] It should be noted that the present invention can capture the drastic changes of physical parameters under constant temperature conditions by screening elements with a value greater than the second threshold in the second matrix.

[0114] In one embodiment, the second threshold is determined by the following steps: averaging the elements in the second matrix to obtain a second average value of the degree of change of the physical parameter with pressure; setting a pressure threshold correction coefficient based on the operating conditions and design specifications of the pipeline; and calculating the product of the pressure threshold correction coefficient and the second average value as the second threshold of the degree of change of the physical parameter with pressure.

[0115] In one embodiment, the critical temperature and the critical pressure are calculated by the following steps: taking pipeline carbon dioxide as a sample, testing the composition of the sample, and determining the mole fraction and thermodynamic parameters of each component; and calculating the critical temperature and the critical pressure based on the mole fraction and thermodynamic parameters of each component.

[0116] In one embodiment, the physical property parameters of the impure carbon dioxide are calculated by the following steps: based on the composition of the sample, multiple state equations are used to calculate and obtain theoretical results corresponding to the physical property parameters; the physical property parameters of the pipeline-transported impure carbon dioxide are measured to obtain measured results corresponding to the physical property parameters; the mean square error between the measured results and each theoretical result is calculated, and the physical property parameters of the impure carbon dioxide are calculated using the state equation corresponding to the theoretical result with the smallest mean square error.

[0117] In one embodiment, the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range is determined by the following steps: taking the critical temperature as the lower temperature limit, the maximum operating temperature as the upper temperature limit, and combining the temperature step to obtain the supercritical pipeline temperature range; taking the critical pressure as the lower pressure limit, the maximum operating pressure as the upper pressure limit, and combining the pressure step to obtain the supercritical pipeline pressure range; based on the supercritical pipeline temperature range and the supercritical pipeline pressure range, the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range is obtained.

[0118] In one embodiment, the physical property parameter includes any one of density, expansion coefficient, compressibility, dynamic viscosity, thermal conductivity, and specific heat capacity, or a combination thereof.

[0119] In one embodiment, the density of impure carbon dioxide within the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range is calculated by the following steps: step a, calculating the compressibility factor of the impure carbon dioxide with the critical temperature as the initial temperature and the critical pressure as the initial pressure; step b, calculating the average relative molecular mass of the impure carbon dioxide based on the relative molecular mass of each component of the impure carbon dioxide and the mole fraction of each component; step c, calculating the density of the impure carbon dioxide based on the average relative molecular mass and the compressibility factor of the impure carbon dioxide; step d, repeating steps a to c within the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range to obtain the density of the impure carbon dioxide within the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range.

[0120] In one embodiment, the quasi-critical region is obtained by the following steps: taking the union of the first range and the second range as the quasi-critical region for pipeline transport of impurity-containing carbon dioxide.

[0121] This paper introduces impurity effect analysis to comprehensively describe the changes in carbon dioxide's physical properties. Specifically, traditional methods for delineating the carbon dioxide quasi-critical region ignore the presence of impurities, which actually have a significant impact on carbon dioxide's physical properties. This paper innovatively considers the impact of impurities on the carbon dioxide quasi-critical region, making the delineation results more realistic.

[0122] This paper employs a dual-variable fusion strategy to further enhance the accuracy and adaptability of the delineation. Specifically, by simultaneously considering temperature and pressure variations (i.e., the variation of carbon dioxide properties with temperature at constant pressure and with pressure at constant temperature), it overcomes the limitations of traditional single-variable analysis methods and more accurately defines the quasi-critical zone for impure carbon dioxide.

[0123] This invention considers pipe material properties and related support and reinforcement measures, enhancing guidance for engineering applications. Specifically, the traditional CO2 quasi-critical zone demarcation method is based on a fixed temperature and pressure range and does not account for pipeline differences.

[0125] As shown in FIG. 1B , in step S101 , the critical temperature and critical pressure of the impurity-containing carbon dioxide are calculated according to the composition of the pipeline-transmitted impurity-containing carbon dioxide.

[0126] In one embodiment, in step S101, the critical temperature and critical pressure of the impure carbon dioxide are calculated by the following steps: taking a pipeline carbon dioxide sample, testing the sample composition, and determining the mole fraction and thermodynamic parameters of each component; and calculating the critical temperature and critical pressure of the impure carbon dioxide based on the mole fraction and thermodynamic parameters of each component.

[0127] Specifically, a pipeline CO2 sample is taken and its composition is tested using gas chromatography to determine the mole fraction and thermodynamic parameters of each component (thermodynamic parameters include but are not limited to: critical temperature, critical pressure, critical volume, eccentricity factor, relative molecular mass, and interaction coefficient between components). Based on this, the critical temperature and critical pressure of the impure CO2 are calculated. Furthermore, the critical temperature and critical pressure of the impure CO2 can be calculated using the mole fraction weighting method, volume fraction weighting method, group contribution method, etc., which are not limited to the present invention.

[0128] As shown in Figure 1B, in step S102, the supercritical pipeline transmission temperature and pressure range is determined using the critical temperature and critical pressure, combined with the pipeline's maximum operating temperature and pressure. Within this range, the physical properties of the impure carbon dioxide are calculated. Specifically, these physical properties include, but are not limited to, density, dynamic viscosity, and thermal conductivity.

[0129] In one embodiment, in step S102, the density of impure carbon dioxide within the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range is calculated through the following steps a) to d). It should be noted that the calculation process for other physical parameters (such as dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity) is similar to that for density. Methods capable of calculating other physical parameters (such as dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity) can also be applied to the present invention, and the present invention does not limit the calculation process for other physical parameters (such as dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity).

[0130] Step a: Calculate the compressibility factor of the impure carbon dioxide using the critical temperature as the initial temperature and the critical pressure as the initial pressure.

[0131] Specifically, the critical temperature T c is the initial temperature, the critical pressure P c The initial pressure is used to calculate the compressibility of the impure CO2 using an equation of state. Furthermore, the compressibility of the impure CO2 can be calculated using equations of state such as the PR equation (Peng-Robinson equation, referred to as the PR equation), the BWRS equation (Benedict-Webb-Rubin equation, also known as the BWR equation; in 1970, KE Starling improved the BWR equation and proposed the 11-parameter BWRS equation, which has a wider range of applications than the BWR equation), the RK equation (Redlich-Kwong equation of state, referred to as the RK equation), and the Span-Wagner equation (referred to as the SW equation).

[0132] Step b: Calculate the average relative molecular mass of the impure carbon dioxide based on the relative molecular mass of each component of the impure carbon dioxide and the mole fraction of each component.

[0133] In one embodiment, in step b, the average relative molecular mass of the impure carbon dioxide is calculated by the following expression:

[0134] Where, M is the average relative molecular mass of impurity carbon dioxide; i is the mole fraction of the i-th component; M i is the relative molecular mass of the i-th component.

[0135] Step c: Calculate the density of the impure carbon dioxide based on the average relative molecular mass and compression factor of the impure carbon dioxide.

[0136] In one embodiment, in step c, the density of the impure carbon dioxide is calculated by the following expression:

[0137] Wherein, ρ is the density of impure carbon dioxide; M is the average relative molecular mass of impure carbon dioxide; P is the pressure; Z is the compressibility factor of impure carbon dioxide; R is the molar gas constant; and T is the temperature.

[0138] Step d: Set the temperature step and the pressure step to determine the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range. Repeat steps a to c within the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range to obtain the density of impurity-containing carbon dioxide within the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range.

[0139] Specifically, δ T is the temperature step length, with δ P is the pressure step, and steps a to c are repeated within the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range to obtain the density of impure CO2. The lower limit of the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range is the initial temperature (e.g., the critical temperature T c , or the lower temperature limit may be lower than the critical temperature), the upper temperature limit is T max (For example, the maximum operating temperature of the pipeline is 50°C), the lower limit of pressure is the initial pressure (for example, the critical pressure P c ), the upper limit of pressure is P max (For example, the maximum working pressure of the pipeline is 15MPa).

[0140] As shown in FIG1B , in step S103, within the supercritical pipeline transmission temperature and pressure range, the physical property parameters of the impure carbon dioxide are combined to determine a temperature range in which the physical property parameters vary dramatically under a constant pressure condition, and this range is recorded as a first range. In practical applications, a single temperature range in which any single physical property parameter varies dramatically under a constant pressure condition may be determined as the first range; two temperature ranges in which any two physical properties vary dramatically under a constant pressure condition may be determined as the first range; or three temperature ranges in which three physical properties vary dramatically under a constant pressure condition may be determined as the first range, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0141] In one embodiment, in step S103, the temperature range in which the physical property parameters change drastically under constant pressure conditions is determined through the following steps S1031-S1034.

[0142] In step S1031, a three-dimensional surface of the physical property parameters of carbon dioxide containing impurities is constructed with temperature as the X-axis, pressure as the Y-axis, physical property parameters as the Z-axis, temperature step as the X-axis spacing, and pressure step as the Y-axis spacing. Specifically, temperature is the X-axis, pressure is the Y-axis, CO2 physical property parameters as the Z-axis, and temperature step δ is the Z-axis spacing. T is the X-axis spacing, pressure step δ P is the Y-axis spacing, and a three-dimensional surface of the physical property parameters of impure CO2 is constructed.

[0143] In step S1032, the numerical gradient component of each point on the three-dimensional surface in the X direction is calculated with the temperature step length as the interval, and the calculation result is recorded as the first matrix of each physical property parameter. Specifically, with the temperature step length δ T For the spacing, calculate the numerical gradient component of each point in the X direction on the three-dimensional surface of the physical property parameters of impurity CO2, and record the calculation results as the first matrix F of each physical property parameter T .

[0144] In step S1033, the average value of each element in the first matrix is ​​calculated to obtain the average value of the degree of change of the physical property parameter with temperature, and the first threshold value of the degree of change of the physical property parameter with temperature is obtained by combining the temperature threshold correction coefficient. Specifically, the first matrix F T The average value of each element in the supercritical pipeline is obtained, that is, the average value F of the degree of change of CO2 physical properties with temperature within the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range. Ta , determine the correction factor n based on the pipeline operating conditions and design specifications T , get the first threshold S of the degree of change of CO2 physical parameters with temperature T .

[0145] In one embodiment, the first threshold value of the degree of change of the physical property parameter with temperature is obtained by the following expression: S T =n T F Ta (3)

[0146] Where S T is the first threshold; n T is the temperature threshold correction coefficient; F Ta is the average value of the degree of change of physical parameters with temperature, that is, the average value of the first matrix.

[0147] In step S1034, in the first matrix, elements with a value less than the first threshold are screened, and the temperature range in which the physical property parameters change dramatically under a constant pressure condition is determined based on the temperature and pressure corresponding to the elements. Specifically, the first matrix F is screened. T is less than the first threshold S T For elements, the temperature range in which the physical properties change dramatically under a certain pressure is divided according to the temperature and pressure corresponding to the elements.

[0148] As shown in FIG1B , in step S104, within the supercritical pipeline transmission temperature and pressure range, the physical property parameters of the impure carbon dioxide are combined to determine a pressure range within which the physical property parameters vary dramatically under a constant temperature condition, and this range is recorded as the second range. In practical applications, a single pressure range within which any single physical property parameter varies dramatically under a constant temperature condition may be determined as the second range; two pressure ranges within which any two physical properties vary dramatically under a constant temperature condition may be determined as the second range; or three pressure ranges within which any three physical properties vary dramatically under a constant temperature condition may be determined as the second range, although the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0149] In one embodiment, in step S104, the pressure range in which the physical property parameters change drastically under a constant temperature condition is determined through the following steps S1041-S1043.

[0150] In step S1041, the numerical gradient component of each point on the three-dimensional surface in the Y direction is calculated with the pressure step length as the spacing, and the calculation result is recorded as the second matrix of each physical property parameter. Specifically, with the pressure step length δ p For the spacing, calculate the numerical gradient component of each point in the Y direction on the three-dimensional surface of the physical property parameters of impurity CO2, and record the calculation results as the second matrix F of each physical property parameter P .

[0151] In step S1042, the average value of each element in the second matrix is ​​calculated to obtain the average value of the degree of change of the physical property parameter with pressure, and the second threshold value of the degree of change of the physical property parameter with pressure is obtained by combining the pressure threshold correction coefficient. Specifically, the second matrix F P The average value of each element in the supercritical pipeline is obtained, that is, the average value F of the degree of change of CO2 physical properties with pressure within the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range. Pa , determine the correction factor n based on the pipeline operating conditions and design specifications P , and obtain the second threshold S of the degree of change of CO2 physical parameters with pressure P .

[0152] In one embodiment, the second threshold value of the degree of change of the physical property parameter with pressure is obtained by the following expression: S P =n P F Pa (4)

[0153] Where S P is the second threshold; n P is the pressure threshold correction coefficient; F Pa is the average value of the degree of change of physical parameters with pressure, that is, the average value of the second matrix.

[0154] In step S1043, in the second matrix, elements greater than the second threshold are screened, and the pressure range where the physical property parameters change dramatically under a constant temperature condition is determined based on the temperature and pressure corresponding to the elements. Specifically, the second matrix F is screened. P is greater than the second threshold S P For elements, the pressure range in which the physical properties change dramatically at a certain temperature is divided according to the temperature and pressure corresponding to the elements.

[0155] As shown in FIG. 1B , in step S105 , the first range and the second range are merged to obtain a quasi-critical region for pipeline-transported impurity-containing carbon dioxide.

[0156] In one embodiment, in step S105, the quasi-critical region for pipeline-transported carbon dioxide containing impurities is obtained by fusing the first range and the second range of the desired physical property parameter to obtain the quasi-critical region for pipeline-transported carbon dioxide containing impurities. In practical applications, the first range and the second range of any single physical property parameter can be fused, the first range and the second range of any two physical property parameters can be fused, or the first range and the second range of three physical property parameters can be fused, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0157] In one embodiment, the temperature range in which physical properties change dramatically at a constant pressure is denoted as Set A, and the pressure range in which physical properties change dramatically at a constant temperature is denoted as Set B. The union of Sets A and B is taken to obtain the quasi-critical region for pipeline transport of impure CO2. It should be noted that other fusion methods capable of obtaining the quasi-critical region for pipeline transport of impure CO2 can also be applied to the present invention, and the present invention does not limit the method for fusion of the first and second ranges.

[0158] The present invention proposes a method and device for determining the quasi-critical zone of pipeline-transported impure carbon dioxide. First, the impurity composition of the pipeline-transported CO2 is tested, and the physical properties of CO2 within the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range are calculated using the state equation. Then, using the CO2 physical properties as reference parameters, the temperature range where the physical properties change dramatically at a constant pressure and the pressure range where the physical properties change dramatically at a constant temperature are divided. The two division results are combined to determine the quasi-critical zone of the impure CO2.

[0159] The present invention considers the influence of pressure at a constant temperature on the physical properties of CO2 on the basis of the quasi-critical temperature, and at the same time delineates the temperature and pressure ranges using the gradient of the physical property parameters as the threshold, thereby narrowing the range of the quasi-critical zone. The demarcation results of the quasi-critical zone for impure CO2 are more accurate, and can provide a basis for the safe control of supercritical CO2 pipeline transportation.

[0170] In summary, the present invention provides a method and device for determining the quasi-critical zone of pipeline-transported impurity-laden carbon dioxide, which has the following advantages over the prior art:

[0171] The present invention proposes a method and apparatus for determining the quasi-critical zone of pipeline-transported impure carbon dioxide. The method first tests the impurity composition of the pipeline-transported CO2, then calculates the physical properties of the CO2 within the supercritical pipeline temperature and pressure range using an equation of state. The method then divides the temperature range within which the physical properties change dramatically at a constant pressure into the pressure range within which the physical properties change dramatically at a constant temperature. The two division results are then combined to determine the quasi-critical zone of the impure CO2. The method considers the effect of pressure at a constant temperature on the physical properties of CO2, based on the quasi-critical temperature. Furthermore, the method uses the gradient of the physical property parameters as a threshold to define the temperature and pressure ranges, thereby narrowing the scope of the quasi-critical zone and providing a more accurate division of the quasi-critical zone of the impure CO2. This method can provide a basis for the safe control of supercritical CO2 pipeline transportation.
