Trapping of CH3O formed from CO + H2

Methoxy formed on Al₂O₃ from¹³CO and H₂ coadsorption on Ni/Al₂O₃ was trapped by C₂H₅OH adsorption and temperature-programmed reaction (TPR). The presence of excess C₂H₅OH significantly increases the rate of¹³CH₃OH and (¹³CH₃)₂O formation. The¹³CH₃OH forms by the reaction of C₂H₅OH with¹³CH₃O on Al₂O₃. In the absence of C₂H₅OH,TPR following¹³CO and H₂ coadsorption did not produce significant amounts of¹³CH₃OHor(¹³CH₃)₂O.     

二氧化碳在CH4+CO2+N2/C2H6三元系中的结霜温度计算

含CO₂的天然气体系在历经低温工艺时,由于CO₂的三相点温度(216.55 K)较高,容易凝华结霜产生固体CO₂,因而有必要对CO₂在天然气中的结霜温度进行计算。根据气固相平衡原理,分别采用道尔顿分压定律、PR状态方程对CO₂在CH₄-CO₂-N₂和CH₄-CO₂-C₂H₆三元系中的结霜温度进行了计算。此外,还采用HYSYS软件对CO₂的结霜温度做了相应的计算。将3种方法的计算结果和实验结果进行了比较,结果表明3种方法在预测三元系中CO₂的结霜温度时,都具有良好的精度。其中,PR状态方程法和HYSYS法的精度略高于道尔顿分压定律法;道尔顿分压定律法虽精度最低,但计算最简单,且也能获得满意的精度,可做工程快速估算使用。

Adsorption of H2, CO2, CH4, CO,N2 and H2O in Activated Carbon and Zeolite for Hydrogen Production

Abstract

The design of a layered pressure swing adsorption unit to treat a specified off-gas stream is based on the properties of the adsorbent materials. In this work we provide adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of the pure gases in a SMR off-gas: H₂O, CO₂, CH₄, CO, N₂, and H₂ on two different adsorbents: activated carbon and zeolite. Data were measured gravimetrically at 303–343 K and 0–7 bar. Water adsorption was only measured in the activated carbon at 303 K and kinetics was evaluated by measuring a breakthrough curve with high relative humidity.     

注CO2+N2混合气改造-开采CH4水合物储层

盖层不封闭且胶结弱是海域天然气水合物储层开采面临的挑战之一。直接降压开采所得气水比低,还可能引发储层失稳。对此,一种基于水合物原理的储层改造方法被提出,即向水合物储层上方注入CO₂形成人工CO₂水合物盖层,从而构造出一个相对封闭的开采环境。在前期工作基础上,本文研究了注入CO₂+N₂混合气改造-开采CH₄水合物储层的可行性。研究结果表明注入混合气体能够形成渗透性低、稳定性好的CO₂水合物盖层,可以有效降低降压开采过程中的产水量及提高CH₄采收率。当注入的混合气中N₂比例较高时,过量的N₂对CH₄水合物的分解存在促进作用,但N₂随甲烷采出增加了后续的分离难度。当注入的混合气中CO₂的比例较高时,人工盖层阻水效果更强,但CO₂产出量也随之增加,且限制了CH₄采收率的进一步提高。后续研究需要进一步优化注-采工艺条件来提高开采效率和降低气体分离能耗。

Investigation of the Phase Equilibria of CO2/CH3OH/H2O and CO2/CH3OH/H2O/H2 Mixtures

The storage of excess electricity from renewable energy sources is nowadays a crucial topic. One promising technology is the methanol (CH₃OH) synthesis from H₂/CO₂ mixtures. The achievable one‐pass conversion is limited within this exothermic equilibrium reaction. A possibility to overcome this limitation would be withdrawing CH₃OH and H₂O from the gas phase through in situ condensation under reaction conditions. In this work, the phase equilibrium for mixtures representative for different degrees of conversion was studied. A view cell was employed to determine systematically the single‐ and two‐phase regimes and obtain phase envelopes for mixtures of H₂, CO₂, CH₃OH, and H₂O from 66 to 305 °C and 61 to 233 bar. Furthermore, the densities in the single‐phase area were determined and quantified by an empirical model.     

Adsorption separation of N2, O2, CO2 and CH4 gases by β-zeolite

In the present study, adsorption equilibrium and kinetic separation potential of β-zeolite is investigated for N₂, O₂, CO₂ and CH₄ gases by using concentration pulse chromatography. Adsorption equilibrium and kinetic parameters have been studied. Henry’s Law constants, heat of adsorption values, micro-pore diffusion coefficients and adsorption activation energies are determined experimentally. The three different mass transfer mechanisms, that have to take place for adsorption to occur, are discussed. From the equilibrium and kinetic data, the equilibrium and kinetic selectivities are determined for the separation of the gases studied.With β-zeolite, carbon dioxide has the highest adsorption Henry’s Law constant at all the temperatures studied, followed by methane, nitrogen and oxygen. Carbon dioxide separation from oxygen, nitrogen and methane has good equilibrium separation factors. This factor is not very high for methane/nitrogen and methane/oxygen systems and is the lowest for nitrogen/oxygen system. Micro-pore diffusion is the dominant mass transfer mechanism for all the systems studied, except CH₄, with β-zeolite. The kinetic separation factors are very small at high temperatures for all the systems studied. Nitrogen/carbon dioxide and oxygen/carbon dioxide can be separated in kinetic processes with reasonable separation factors at low temperatures. Both equilibrium and kinetic separation factors decrease as column temperature increases. Considering all the observations from this study, it was concluded that β-zeolite is a good candidate for applications in flue gas separations, as well as natural gas and landfill gas purifications.     

Diffusivity of CO2, CH4, C2H6 and N2 in athabasca bitumen

Experimental data for the diffusivity of carbon dioxide, methane, ethane and nitrogen in Athabasca bitumen are presented in the range 25–90°C at 4 and 8 MPa. The diffusivity of these gases has been determined as a function of gas concentration in bitumen using a non‐intrusive experim?ental method. The diffusivity of gas in general is found to increase with temperature and pressure, and is a unimodal function of concentration. A correlation is provided for the average diffusivity of these gases as a function of temperature.

Membranes for CO2 /CH4 and CO2/N2 Gas Separation

Membrane technology has emerged as a leading tool worldwide for effective CO₂ separation because of its well-known advantages, including high surface area, compact design, ease of maintenance, environmentally friendly nature, and cost-effectiveness. Polymeric and inorganic membranes are generally utilized for the separation of gas mixtures. The mixed-matrix membrane (MMM) utilizes the advantages of both polymeric and inorganic membranes to surpass the trade-off limits. The high permeability and selectivity of MMMs by incorporating different types of fillers exhibit the best performance for CO₂ separation from natural gas and other flue gases. The recent progress made in the field of MMMs having different types of fillers is emphasized. Specifically, CO₂/CH₄ and CO₂/N₂ separation from various types of MMMs are comprehensively reviewed that are closely relevant to natural gas purification and compositional flue gas treatment     

Equilibrium analysis of CH4, CO,CO2, H2O,H2, C mixtures in C–H–O atom space using Gibbs free energy global minimization

Gibbs free energy minimization is employed to carry out thermodynamic equilibrium analysis studies of mixtures containing methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water, and hydrogen ideal gases, and possibly solid carbon. The employed global minimization approach represents a general, unifying, conceptual framework that allows reaction and phase equilibrium analysis to be simultaneously carried out in the atom-mol fraction space (a_H, a_O) , thus capturing in a comprehensive manner the equilibrium behavior of a number of industrially important processes, such as methane reforming (steam, dry, energetically enhanced), and methanation. Two theorems are presented, establishing necessary and sufficient (necessary) feasibility and regularity (optimality) conditions for the aforementioned minimization problem. The equilibrium results obtained through application of these theorems are guaranteed to be globally optimal. They quantify in (a_H, a_O) space, the feasible region, the carbon formation region, and all species mole over total atom-mol normalized ratios, for a range of temperatures and pressures.     

The CO2 absorption and desorption performance of the triethylenetetramine + N,N-diethylethanolamine + H2O system

Post-combustion CO₂ capture (PCC) process faces significant challenge of high regeneration energy consumption. Biphasic absorbent is a promising alternative candidate which could significantly reduce the regeneration energy consumption because only the CO₂-concentrated phase should be regenerated. In this work, aqueous solutions of triethylenetetramine (TETA) and N,N-diethylethanolamine (DEEA) are found to be efficient biphasic absorbents of CO₂. The effects of the solvent composition, total amine concentration, and temperature on the absorption behavior, as well as the effect of temperature on the desorption behavior of TETA-DEEA-H₂O system were investigated. An aqueous solution of 1 mol·L^-1 TETA and 4 mol·L^-1 DEEA spontaneously separates into two liquid phases after a certain amount of CO₂ is absorbed and it shows high CO₂ absorption/desorption performance. About 99.4% of the absorbed CO₂ is found in the lower phase, which corresponds to a CO₂ absorption capacity of 3.44 mol·kg^-1. The appropriate absorption and desorption temperatures are found to be 30℃ and 90℃, respectively. The thermal analysis indicates that the heat of absorption of the 1 mol·L^-1 TETA and 4 mol·L^-1 DEEA solution is -84.38 kJ·(mol CO₂)^-1 which is 6.92 kJ·(mol CO₂)^-1 less than that of aqueous MEA. The reaction heat, sensible heat, and the vaporization heat of the TETA-DEEA-H₂O system are lower than that of the aqueous MEA, while its CO₂ capacity is higher. Thus the TETA-DEEA-H₂O system is potentially a better absorbent for the post-combustion CO₂ capture process.     

CH4、CO2及CH4+C2H6+C3H8在纯水、SDS水溶液和含石英砂体系中水合物相平衡条件的测定

Phase equilibrium conditions of gas hydrate in several systems were measured by the step-heating method using the cylindrical transparent sapphire cell device. The experimental data for pure CH4 or CO2 + deionized water systems showed good agreement with those in the literatures. This kind of method was then applied to CH4/CO2 + sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) aqueous solution, CH4/CO2 + SDS aqueous solution + silica sand, and (CH4 + C2H6 + C3H8) gas mixture + SDS aqueous solution systems, where SDS was added to increase the hydrate formation rate without evident influence on the equilibrium conditions. The feasibility and reliability of the step-heating method, especially for porous media systems and gas mixtures systems were determined. The experimental data for CO2 + silica sand data shows that the equilibrium pressure will change significantly when the particle size of silica sand is less than 96 μm. The formation equilibrium pressure was also measured by the reformation of hydrate.

Effects of N management on N2O and CH4 fluxes and15N

Forage production in irrigated mountain meadows plays a vital role in the livestock industry in Colorado and Wyoming. Mountain meadows are areas of intensive fertilization and irrigation which may impact regional CH₄ and N₂O fluxes. Nitrogen fertilization typically increases yields, but N-use efficiency is generally low. Neither the amount of fertilizer-N recovered by the forage nor the effect on N₂O and CH₄ emissions were known. These trace gases are long-lived in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming potential and stratospheric ozone depletion. From 1991 through 1993 studies were conducted to determine the effect of N source, and timing of N-fertilization on forage yield, N-uptake, and trace gas fluxes at the CSU Beef Improvement Center near Saratoga, Wyoming. Plots were fertilized with 168 kg N ha^-1. Microplots labeled with¹⁵N-fertilizer were established to trace the fate of the added N. Weekly fluxes of N₂O and CH₄ were measured during the snow-free periods of the year. Although CH₄ was consumed when soils were drying, flood irrigation converted the meadow into a net source of CH₄. Nitrogen fertilization did not affect CH₄ flux but increased N₂O emissions. About 5% of the applied N was lost as N₂O from spring applied NH₄NO₃, far greater than the amount lost as N₂O from urea or fall applied NH₄NO₃. Fertilizer N additions increased forage biomass to a maximum of 14.6 Mg ha^-1 with spring applied NH₄NO₃. Plant uptake of N-fertilizer was greater with spring applications (42%), than with fall applications (22%).     

Sorption of N2, CH4 and CO2 in Silicalite-1

An isosteric sorption apparatus has been used to obtain data for the sorption of N₂, CH₄ and CO₂ in Silicalite-1 over the temperature range 0–70°C. Isotherms have also been determined in a high pressure sorption balance at equilibrium pressures up to 20 atm. Isosteric heats of sorption have been calculated from these sorption data. Separation factors calculated from Henry's Law constants determined from the initial slopes of the single-component isotherms have been found to be in good agreement with experimental separation factors. The single-component sorption data have been fitted to various isotherm models and the Ideal Adsorbed Solution theory has been used to predict a binary sorption isotherm from the respective single-component data. The predicted isotherm is in good agreement with the corresponding experimental isotherm.
