鼓泡器中环戊烷-甲烷-盐水体系水合物的生成动力学

采用鼓泡装置研究了盐水体系中环戊烷（CP）-甲烷水合物的生成动力学,分别考察了进气速率、温度、压力对水合物生成速率和进气速率对气体转化率的影响。结果显示,提高进气速率、压力,降低温度均可提高水合物生成速率。但进气速率对气体转化率有影响,进气速率过大,单位时间内进入到反应器内的气体过多,气体还未参与反应便被排出,导致气体转化率反而减小。通过观察到的实验现象,分析环戊烷-甲烷水合物的生成过程,认为水合物晶体首先在环戊烷-水界面生成,并逐步向内部气相生长,最后水合物壳破裂,气泡逸出。水合物逐渐生长成粒状,并不断聚集在一起。

操作工况对酸性天然气水合物生成动力学的影响分析

水合物的快速生成受诸多因素的影响,操作工况是其主要的影响因素之一。以67.7%CH4+32.3%CO2（摩尔分数）混合气为例模拟酸性天然气,采用自行设计的水合物动力学实验装置,分别对初始压力为3.0 MPa、3.5 MPa、4.2 MPa、5.0 MPa和实验温度分别为1.42 ℃、3.27 ℃、5.48 ℃、7.45 ℃时的水合物生成动力学进行实验研究。定义诱导期、平衡总耗时、生长速率为水合物动力学评价指标,指标通过分析水合物生成过程中的压力及气相组成变化得到,进而综合分析了操作工况对酸性天然气水合物生成动力学的影响。实验结果表明：初始压力越高,实验温度越低,水合物平衡时气相CO2的浓度越低,水合物的生成量和生长速率越大;此外,初始压力对体系诱导期影响不够显著,而操作温度的降低可以明显缩短体系诱导期。

Replacement of CH4 in Hydrate in Porous Sediments with Liquid CO2 Injection

The dynamics of the replacement of CH₄ in hydrate in porous sediments with liquid CO₂ was investigated using a self‐developed experimental apparatus at different temperatures and initial pressures. The pressure increases steadily as the replacement reaction processes. The amount of the replaced CH₄ is almost the same as that of the CO₂ forming hydrate in the early stage and gradually becomes somewhat less in the later stage. The initial pressure has minor effects on the replacement rate, and temperature reduction causes a lower replacement rate. The experimental results suggest that the replacement rate is not related to the region of the temperature‐pressure conditions but is mainly affected by the fugacity differences of CH₄ hydrate decomposition and CO₂ hydrate formation.     

低浓度瓦斯气体水合分离过程中十二烷基硫酸钠和高岭土的影响

Enhancement of the performance of kinetic inhibitors in the presence of polyethylene oxide and polypropylene oxide for binary mixtures during gas hydrate formation in a flow mini‐loop apparatus

The objective of this work is to demonstrate the impact of the polyethylene oxide (PEO) and polypropylene oxide (PPO) on the performance of gas hydrate kinetic inhibitors for binary mixtures during gas hydrate formation in a flow mini‐loop apparatus. PEO and PPO are commercially available polymers that they have been considered to be unable to exhibit kinetic hydrate inhibition (KHI) by their self. Prevention of gas hydrate formation experiments in the presence of the KHIs solutions were conducted in a flow mini‐loop apparatus manner under suitable pressures and temperature conditions for binary gaseous mixtures including 70% CH₄/30% C₃H₈, 30% CH₄/70% C₃H₈, 70% CH₄/30% i‐C₄H₁₀, and 30% CH₄/70% i‐C₄H₁₀. In the experiments, induction time for crystallisation of gas hydrate formation and gas consumption rate are investigated in systems without KHI, containing KHI only (such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and L ‐tyrosine) and PEO or PPO together with KHI. Pressure is maintained at a constant value during experimental runs by means of required gas make‐up. The addition of a KHI into system delayed the onset of hydrate crystal nucleation. Furthermore, addition of the PEO or PPO to a KHI solution was found to enhance the performance of KHI. In addition, under the same pressure temperature hydrate formation conditions the induction time is longer when the PPO is present. Thus, inclusion of PPO into a KHI solution shows a higher enhancement in its inhibiting performance compare to PEO. © 2011 Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering     

Phase and kinetic behavior of the mixed methane and carbon dioxide hydrates

Large amounts of CH₄ are stored as hydrates on continental margins and permafrost regions. If the CH₄ hydrates could be converted into CO₂ hydrate, they would serve double duty as CH₄ sources and CO₂ storage sites in the deep ocean sediments. As preliminary investigations, both the phase behavior of CH₄ hydrates and kinetic behavior of CO₂ hydrate were measured at versatile conditions that can simulate actual marine sediments. When measuring three-phase equilibria (H-LW-V) containing CH₄ hydrate, we also closely examined pore and electrolyte effects of clay and NaCl on hydrate formation. These two effects inhibited hydrate nucleation and thus made the hydrate equilibrium line shift to a higher pressure region. In addition, the kinetic data of CO₂ hydrate in the mixtures containing clay and NaCl were determined at 2.0 MPa and 274.15 K. Clay mineral accelerated an initial formation rate of CO₂ hydrate by inducing nucleation as initiator, but total amount of formed CO₂, of course, decreased due to the capillary effect of clay pores. Also, the addition of NaCl in sample mixtures made both initial formation rate and total amount of CO₂ consumption decrease.     

In situ injection of THF to trigger gas hydrate crystallization: Application to the evaluation of a kinetic hydrate promoter

This paper investigates an original method to efficiently trigger gas hydrate crystallization. This method consists of an in situ injection of a small amount of THF into an aqueous phase in contact with a gas-hydrate-former phase at pressure and temperature conditions inside the hydrate metastable zone. In the presence of a CO₂–CH₄ gas mixture, our results show that the THF injection induces immediate crystallization of a first hydrate containing THF. This triggers the formation of the CO₂–CH₄ binary hydrate as proven by the pressure and temperature reached at equilibrium. This experimental method, which “cancels out” the stochasticity of the hydrate crystallization, was used to evaluate the effect of the anionic surfactant SDS at different concentrations, on the formation kinetics of the CO₂–CH₄ hydrate. The results are discussed and compared with those published in a recent article (Ricaurte et al., 2013), where THF was not injected but present in the aqueous phase from the beginning and at much higher concentrations.     

Phase equilibria and kinetic behavior of co<Subscript>2</Subscript> hydrate in electrolyte and porous media solutions: application to ocean sequestration of CO<Subscript>2</Subscript>

Understanding the phase behavior and formation kinetics of CO₂ hydrate is essential for developing the sequestration process of CO₂ into the deep ocean and its feasibility. Three-phase equilibria of solid hydrate, liquid water, and vapor were determined for aqueous mixtures containing CO₂ and NaCl/clay to examine the effect of both ocean electrolytes and sediments on hydrate stability. Due to the capillary effect by clay pores and inhibition effect by NaCl the corresponding hydrate formation pressure appeared to be a little higher than that required for simple and pure hydrate at specified temperature. In addition, the hydrate formation kinetics of carbon dioxide in pure water and aqueous NaCl solutions with or without clay mineral were also measured at various conditions. The formation kinetic behavior was found to be strongly influenced by pressure, temperature and electrolyte concentration. A simplified kinetic model having two adjustable parameters was proposed and the estimated results agreed well with the experimental data. This paper is dedicated to Professor Wha Young Lee on the occasion of his retirement from Seoul National University.     

Kinetics of carbon dioxide and methane hydrate formation

Experimental data on the kinetics of carbon dioxide hydrate formation and its solubility in distilled water are reported. The experiments were carried out in a semi-batch stirred tank reactor at nominal temperatures of 274, 276 and 278 K and at pressure ranging from 1.59 to 2.79 MPa for the kinetics experiments and at pressure ranging from 0.89 to 2.09 MPa for the solubility experiments. A minor inconsistency in the kinetic model developed by Englezos et al. (1987a) was removed and the model was modified to determine the intrinsic kinetic rate constant for carbon dioxide hydrate formation. The same model was also used to re-determine the intrinsic kinetic rate constant for methane hydrate formation. The model is based on the crystallization theory coupled with the two-film theory for gas absorption in the liquid phase. The Henry's constant (H) and apparent dissolution rate constant (K_La) required in the model were determined using the experimental solubility data. The kinetic model describes the experimental data very well. The kinetic rate constant obtained for the carbon dioxide hydrate formation was found to be higher than that for methane.     

Experimental Study of the Carbon Deposition from CH4 onto the Ni/YSZ Anode of SOFCs

A challenge in the operation of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) with hydrocarbon fuels is the carbon deposition on the nickel/yttria‐stabilized zirconia (Ni/YSZ) anode. The Grabke‐type kinetic model has been proposed for the carbon formation based upon the assumption of elementary steps, which consist of a rate‐limiting dissociative chemisorption step and a stepwise dehydrogenation of the chemisorbed methyl group. This work experimentally studied the carbon formation on a SOFC Ni/YSZ anode exposed to CH₄+H₂ gas mixtures. Experiments were conducted with various gas compositions of CH₄/H₂ and temperatures in the range from 873 K to 1,123 K. The experimental results were used to determine a kinetic model that was applied to the SOFC operating environments. Based on the experimental data, the formula for the carbon formation rate that is dependent on the operating temperature and the gas compositions of CH₄/H₂ was established.
