Ab initio thermodynamics of magnesium carbonates and hydrates in water-saturated supercritical CO2 and CO2-rich regions

Journal Article Chaka, Anne M. ; Felmy, Andrew R. ; Qafoku, Odeta - Chemical Geology

ab initio thermodynamics is used to determine how free energies of magnesium carbonates and hydrates in a CO2–rich environment change with water concentration across a range of temperature and pressure relevant to geochemistry and carbon sequestration (275 K to 375 K and pCO2 of 1 to 210 bar). The methodology is based on first principles density-functional theory (DFT) calculations of the total energies and vibrational entropy of periclase, magnesite, brucite, nesquehonite, and hydromagnesite coupled to the experimental chemical potentials of CO2 and H2O. The impact of water in supercritical CO2 (scCO2), even though less than 1% at saturation, is foundmore »« less

Quantifying the Impact of Magnesium on the Stability and Water Binding Energy of Hydrated Calcium Carbonates by ab initio Thermodynamics

Journal Article Chaka, Anne M. - Journal of Physical Chemistry A

Determining conditions that drive carbonate formation is important for establishing paleoindicators for mineral deposition, understanding the carbon cycle and biomineralization, and designing industrial applications such as scale inhibition, manufacturing of cement and concrete, and environmental remediation. Mg and incorporated water have been observed to play critical roles in nonclassical crystallization pathways of calcium carbonate, the dominant carbonate found in nature, through promoting formation of low energy metastable intermediates such as monohydrocalcite (CaCO3H2O), ikaite (CaCO36H2O), and amorphous calcium carbonate (CaCO3H2O). The impact of Mg on the thermodynamics and water binding ability of these hydrated intermediates is challenging to measure and ismore »« less

A Thermodynamic Model for Predicting Mineral Reactivity in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide: I. Phase Behavior of Carbon Dioxide - Water - Chloride Salt Systems Across the H2O-Rich to the CO2-Rich Regions

Journal Article Springer, Ronald D ; Wang, Zheming ; Anderko, Andre ; ... - Chemical Geology, 322-323:151-171

Phase equilibria in mixtures containing carbon dioxide, water, and chloride salts have been investigated using a combination of solubility measurements and thermodynamic modeling. The solubility of water in the CO2-rich phase of ternary mixtures of CO2, H2O and NaCl or CaCl2 was determined, using near infrared spectroscopy, at 90 atm and 40 to 100 °C. These measurements fill a gap in the experimental database for CO2 water salt systems, for which phase composition data have been available only for the H2O-rich phases. A thermodynamic model for CO2 water salt systems has been constructed on the basis of the previously developedmore »« less

Ab Initio Thermodynamic Model for Magnesium Carbonates and Hydrates

Journal Article Chaka, Anne M. ; Felmy, Andrew R. - Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 118(35):7469-7488

An ab initio thermodynamic framework for predicting properties of hydrated magnesium carbonate minerals has been developed using density-functional theory linked to macroscopic thermodynamics through the experimental chemical potentials for MgO, water, and CO2. Including semiempirical dispersion via the Grimme method and small corrections to the generalized gradient approximation of Perdew, Burke, and Ernzerhof for the heat of formation yields a model with quantitative agreement for the benchmark minerals brucite, magnesite, nesquehonite, and hydromagnesite. The model shows how small differences in experimental conditions determine whether nesquehonite, hydromagnesite, or magnesite is the result of laboratory synthesis from carbonation of brucite, and whatmore »« less

'Structure, Dynamics and Vibrational Spectrum of Supercritical CO2/H2O Mixtures from Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics as a Function of Water Cluster Formation

Journal Article Glezakou, Vassiliki Alexandra ; Rousseau, Roger J ; Dang, Liem X ; ... - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. PCCP, 12(31):8759-8771

We have studied the effect of water in the supercritical phase of CO2 as a function of water self-association using DFT-based molecular dynamics simulations. The dependence of the intermolecular and intramolecular structure and dynamic properties upon water concentration in the supercritical CO2/H2O phase at a density of 0.81g/cm3 and temperature of 318.15K is investigated in detail and compared to previous studies of the pure sc-CO2 system and Monte-Carlo simulations of water in sc-CO2 phase. Analysis of radial and orientational distribution functions of the intermolecular interactions shows that the presence of water molecules does not disturb the previously established distorted T-shapedmore »« less
