CO2/N2置换-降压强化开采天然气水合物

将天然气水合物中的CH₄置换为CO₂水合物是未来能源生产和温室气体控制的一种创新方法,但通常条件下CO₂对水合物中CH₄的置换效率较低,因此采用混合气联合降压强化置换的开采方法被提出。模拟(海底静水压力)在三轴应力约束状态下,通过注入固定比例[n(CO₂)∶n(N₂)=4∶1]的置换气体,研究降压强化置换过程中储层气相组分、CH₄开采率与CO₂封存率的变化。结果表明：CO₂+N₂联合降压强化置换法大幅度提高CH₄水合物置换效率,CH₄置换率相较于传统置换法的15.2%提升至35.22%,其中N₂直接贡献率占8.66%。通过降压强化,显著增强分解后期阶段气体扩散效果,提高CH₄开采率与CO₂封存率,对提高水合物转换开采具有良好的应用前景。

二氧化碳置换法模拟开采天然气水合物的研究进展

目前实验室模拟开采天然气水合物(NGH)的最主要的方法为外激法,通过注热、降压等方式使水合物分解释放出甲烷(CH₄),外激法最大的问题在于水合物的分解容易造成地层结构变化,导致地质斜坡灾害。利用二氧化碳(CO₂)在水合物相中置换开采CH₄,由于置换过程发生在水合物相中,不改变水合物相结构,因此可以降低地质灾害风险。本文全面介绍了利用CO₂在水合物相从NGH中置换CH₄的研究进展,从置换可行性、动力学模型、模拟研究、实验研究等方面对当前的研究进行了综述,并为进一步发展置换法开采CH₄技术指出了方向。

Intensification of low-grade methane enrichment in nitrogen mixture by CH4/CO2 displacement

To solve the problem of CO₂ uncompleted desorption in the process of CO₂ displacement enhancing the adsorption separation of CH₄/N₂, a small amount of product gas CH₄ was used as purge gas to improve the CO₂ desorption. CH₄/CO₂ mixture gas obtained from desorption step was recycled as the displacement gas to enhance the enrichment of low-grade methane in nitrogen mixture. In this work, the research conducted the experiments for CH₄/N₂ separation using CH₄/CO₂ displacement intensification adsorption and the laboratory-made coconut shell activated carbon as sorbent. The mathematical models were built in gPROMS and the accuracy of models was verified by comparison of simulations and CH₄/N₂/CO₂ breakthrough experiments. The performance of enrichment of low-grade methane with displacement intensification using different displacer was compared. The result showed that the process with CH₄/CO₂ displacement had higher purity product than CO₂ displacement. The CH₄/ CO₂ mixed gas replacement enhanced vacuum pressure swing adsorption cycle experiment was carried out, which can jointly enrich 14% CH₄/ N₂ and 53% CH₄/CO₂ to 98.8%, and at the same time obtain a recovery rate of 77.8%.     

机械化学法合成小尺寸MOF填料助力高性能CO2分离

The combination of 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluorborate with TBAB or THF on CO2 hydrate formation and CH4 separation from biogas

[C₈min] BF₄ was used in this work to combine with TBAB or THF for the investigation about thermodynamic and kinetic additives on CO₂ and CH₄/CO₂ hydrates. The results show that[C₈min] BF₄ has the inhibition effect on the equilibrium of hydrate formation. About the kinetic study,[C₈min] BF₄ could improve the rate of CO₂ hydrate formation and increase the gas uptake in hydrate phase. At the same time, the combination of TBAB and[C₈min] BF₄ could increase the mole friction of CH₄ in residual gas comparing with the data in THF solution. CH₄ separation efficiency was strongly enhanced. Since that the size of CO₂ and CH₄ molecules are similar, CH₄ and CO₂ could form the similar hydrate, so the recovery of CH₄ from biogas decreases lightly. The CH₄ content in biogas can purified from 67 mol% to 77 mol% after one-stage hydrate formation. In addition, the combination of THF and[C₈min] BF₄ do not have obvious promoting effect on CH₄ separation comparing with the gas separation results in pure THF solution.     

Investigation of the hydrate formation process in fine sediments by a binary CO2/N2 gas mixture

To obtain the fundamental data of CO₂/N₂ gas mixture hydrate formation kinetics and CO₂ separation and sequestration mechanisms, the gas hydrate formation process by a binary CO₂/N₂ gas mixture (50:50) in fine sediments (150-250 μm) was investigated in a semibatch vessel at variable temperatures(273, 275, and 277 K)and pressures (5.8-7.8 MPa). During the gas hydrate reaction process, the changes in the gaseous phase composition were determined by gas chromatography. The results indicate that the gas hydrate formation process of the binary CO₂/N₂ gas mixture in fine sediments can be reduced to two stages. Firstly, the dissolved gas containing a large amount of CO₂ formed gas hydrates, and then gaseous N₂ participated in the gas hydrate formation. In the second stage, all the dissolved gas was consumed. Thus, both gaseous CO₂ and N₂ diffused into sediment. The first stage in different experiments lasted for 5-15 h, and >60% of the gas was consumed in this period. The gas consumption rate was greater in the first stage than in the second stage. After the completion of gas hydrate formation, the CO₂ content in the gas hydrate was more than that in the gas phase. This indicates that CO₂ formed hydrate easily than N₂ in the binary mixture. Higher operating pressures and lower temperatures increased the gas consumption rate of the binary gas mixture in gas hydrate formation.

Boosting selective C2H2/CH4, C2H4/CH4 and CO2/CH4 adsorption performance via 1,2,3-triazole functionalized triazine-based porous organic polymers

Nitrogen-rich porous organic polymers have shown great potentials in gas adsorption/separation, photocatalysis, electrochemistry, sensing and so on. Herein, 1,2,3-triazole functionalized triazine-based porous organic polymers (TT-POPs) have been synthesized by the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (Cu-AAC) polymerization reactions of 1,3,5-tris(4-azidophenyl)-triazine with 1,4-diacetylene benzene and 1,3,5-triacetylenebenzene, respectively. The characterizations of N₂ adsorption at 77 K show TT-POPs possess permanent porosity with BET surface areas of 666 m²·g^-1 (TT-POP-1) and 406 m²·g^-1 (TT-POP-2). The adsorption capacities of TT-POPs for CO₂, CH₄, C₂H₂ and C₂H₄, as well as the selective separation abilities of CO₂/N₂, CO₂/CH₄, C₂H₂/CH₄ and C₂H₄/CH₄ were evaluated. The gas selective separation ratio of TT-POPs was calculated by the ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) method, wherein the selective separation ratios of C₂H₂/CH₄ and C₂H₄/CH₄ of TT-POP-2 was 48.4 and 13.6 (298 K, 0.1 MPa), which is comparable to other adsorbents (5.6-120.6 for C₂H₂/CH₄, 10-26 for C₂H₄/CH₄). This work shows that the 1,2,3-triazole functionalized triazine-based porous organic polymer has a good application prospect in natural gas purification.
