Abstract

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was applied to investigate the dissolution and chemical interaction of water dissolved into supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) and the influence of CaCl2 in the co-existing aqueous phase at fo empe e : 40 50 75 nd 100 C at 90 atm. Consistent with the trend of the vapor pressure of water, the solubility of pure water in scCO2 inc e ed f om 40 °C (0.32 mole%) o 100 °C (1.61 mole%). The presence of CaCl2 negatively affects the solubility of water in scCO2: at a given temperature and pressure the solubility of water decreased as the concentration of CaCl2 in the aqueous phase increased, following the trend of the activity of water. A 40 °C, the water concentration in scCO2 in contact with saturated CaCl2 aqueous solution was only 0.16 mole%, a drop of more than 50% as compared to pure water while that a 100 °C was 1.12 mole%, a drop of over 30% as compared to pure water, under otherwise the same conditions. Analysis of the spectral profiles suggested that water dissolved into scCO2 exists in the monomeric form under the evaluated temperature and pressure conditions, for both neat water and CaCl2 solutions.

However, its rotational degrees of freedom decrease at lower temperatures due to higher fluid densities, leading to formation of weak H2O:CO2 Lewis acid-base complexes. Similarly, the nearly invariant spectral profiles of dissolved water in the presence and absence of saturated CaCl2 under the same experimental conditions was taken as evidence that CaCl2 dissolution in scCO2 was limited as the dissolved Ca2+/CaCl2 would likely be highly hydrated and would alter the overall spectra of waters in the scCO2 phase.},

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; 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

Predicting Phase Diagram of the CaCl2-H2O Binary System from the BET Adsorption Isotherm

Journal Article Ally, Moonis - Fluid Phase Equilibria

A recent publication in Fluid Phase Equilibria by Zeng (Zeng, Zhou et al. 2007) claimed remarkable accuracy in predicting the solubility of CaCl2-H2O solutions with the Brunaruer-Emett-Teller (BET) model parameters. Their approach necessarily requires prior knowledge of equilibrium water vapor pressures above saturated solutions as a function of temperature for the hydrates of CaCl2 that exist under those conditions. However, the intrinsic BET model does not require prior knowledge of such solubility data that the approach of (Zeng, Zhou et al. 2007) is dependent upon. This paper highlights the differences between the two approaches and covers a much wider rangemore »« less

Forsterite [Mg ₂ SiO ₄ )] Carbonation in Wet Supercritical CO ₂ : An in Situ High-Pressure X-ray Diffraction Study

Journal Article Todd Schaef, Herbert; McGrail, Bernard; Loring, John; ... - Environmental Science and Technology

Technological advances have been significant in recent years for managing environmentally harmful emissions (mostly CO2) resulting from combustion of fossil fuels. Deep underground geologic formations are emerging as reasonable options for long term storage of CO2 but mechanisms controlling rock and mineral stability in contact with injected supercritical fluids containing water are relatively unknown. In this paper, we discuss mineral transformation reactions occurring with forsterite (Mg2SiO4) exposed to wet supercritical CO2. Forsterite was selected as it is an important olivine group mineral present in igneous and mafic rocks and has been the subject of a large number of aqueous dissolutionmore »« less

Coupled supercritical CO2 dissolution and water flow in pore-scale micromodels

Journal Article Chang, Chun; Zhou, Quanlin; Kneafsey, Timothy; ... - Advances in Water Resources

Dissolution trapping is one of the most important mechanisms for geological carbon storage (GCS). Recent laboratory and field experiments have shown non-equilibrium dissolution of supercritical CO2 (scCO2) and coupled scCO2 dissolution and water flow, i.e., scCO2 dissolution at local pores/pore throats creating new water-flow paths, which in turn enhance dissolution by increased advection and interfacial area. However, the impacts of pore-scale characteristics on these coupled processes have not been investigated. In this study, imbibition and dissolution experiments were conducted under 40°C and 9?MPa using a homogeneous/isotropic hexagonal micromodel, two homogeneous elliptical micromodels with low or high anisotropy, and a heterogeneousmore »« less

Pore-scale supercritical CO2 dissolution and mass transfer under imbibition conditions

Journal Article Chang, Chun; Zhou, Quanlin; Kneafsey, Timothy; ... - Advances in Water Resources

In modeling of geological carbon storage, dissolution of supercritical CO2 (scCO2) is often assumed to be instantaneous with equilibrium phase partitioning. In contrast, recent core-scale imbibition experiments have shown a prolonged depletion of residual scCO2 by dissolution, implying a non-equilibrium mechanism. In this study, eight pore-scale scCO2 dissolution experiments in a 2D heterogeneous, sandstone-analogue micromodel were conducted at supercritical conditions (9 MPa and 40 °C). The micromodel was first saturated with deionized (DI) water and drained by injecting scCO2 to establish a stable scCO2 saturation. DI water was then injected at constant flow rates after scCO2 drainage was completed. Highmore »« less
