The physicochemical properties of the sorbent were characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, thermal gravimetric analysis （TG） and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FT-IR） techniques followed by testing for CO2 capture. Factors that affected the sorption capacity of the sorbent were studied. The sorbent exhibited extraordinary capture capacity with CO2 concentration ranging from 5% to 80%. The optimal PEI loading was determined to be 65 wt.% with a CO2 sorption capacity of 4.82 mmol-CO2/g-sorbent in 15% CO2/N2 at 75℃, owing to low mass-transfer resistance and a high utilization ratio of the amine compound （63%）. Moisture had a promoting effect on the sorption separation of CO2. In addition, the developed sorbent could be regenerated easily at 100℃, and it exhibited excellent regenerability and stability. These results indicate that this PEI-loaded mesoporous carbon sorbent should have a good potential for CO2 capture in the future.展开更多

A number of projects are currently evaluated/planned along the Norwegian West Coast, one at Tjeldbergodden. COe from this project will be utilized in part for enhanced oil recovery in the Halten oil field, in the Norwegian Sea. We study a potential design of such a system. A combined cycle power plant with a gross power output of 832 MW is combined with CO2 capture plant based on a post-combustion capture using amines as a solvent. The captured CO2 is used for enhanced oil recovery （EOR）. We employ a hybrid life-cycle assessment （LCA） method to assess the environmental impacts of the system. The study focuses on the modifications and operations of the platform during EOR. We allocate the impacts connected to the capture of CO2 to electricity production, and the impacts connected to the transport and storage of CO2 to the oil produced. Our study shows a substantial reduction of the greenhouse gas emissions from power production by 80% to 75 g·（kW·h）^-1. It also indicates a reduction of the emissions associated with oil production per unit oil produced, mostly due to the increased oil production. Reductions are especially significant if the additional power demand due to EOR leads to power supply from the land.展开更多

This transition will need to be sustainable, e.g.economically affordable. Fossil fuels which are abundant have an important role to play in this respect, provided that Carbon Capture and Storage(CCS) is progressively implemented. CCS is the only way to reduce emissions from energy intensive industries.Thus, the need for upgraded and new CCS research facilities is widely recognised among stakeholders across Europe, as emphasised by the Zero Emissions Platform(ZEP) [1] and the European Energy Research Alliance on CCS(EERA-CCS) [2].The European Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage Laboratory Infrastructure, ECCSEL, provides funders, operators and researchers with significant benefits by offering access to world-class research facilities that, in many cases, are unlikely for a single nation to support in isolation.This implies creation of synergy and the avoidance of duplication as well as streamlining of funding for research facilities.ECCSEL offers open access to its advanced laboratories for talented scientists and visiting researchers to conduct cutting-edge research.In the planning of ECCSEL, gap analyses were performed and CCS technologies have been reviewed to underpin and envisage the future experimental setup; 1) Making use of readily available facilities, 2) Modifying existing facilities, and 3) Planning and building entirely new advanced facilities.The investments required for the first ten years(2015-2025) are expected to be in the range of €80-120 miilion. These investments show the current level of ambition, as proposed during the preparatory phase(2011-2014).Entering the implementation phase in 2015, 9 European countries signed Letter of Intent(LoI) to join a ECCSEL legal entity: France, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Poland, Greece, Norway and Switzerland(active observer). As the EU ERIC-regulation [3] would offer the most suitable legal framework for ECCSEL, the host country, Norway, will apply for establishing ERIC as the ECCSEL Research Infrastructure(RI)legal entity in 2017.

One of the new approaches for capturing carbon dioxide and subsequently lowering the emissions is based on gas hydrate crystallization. Gas hydrates have a large capacity for the storage of gases which also resemble an attractive method for gas filtration. The basis of the separation is the selective partition of the target component between the hydrate phase and the gaseous phase. It is expected that carbon dioxide is preferentially encaged into the hydrate crystal phase compared to the other components. In the present paper, after a comparison of gas hydrates with existing capture technologies, a novel apparatus for gas hydrate production is illustrated and results of a first set of experimental applications of the reactor for CO2 hydrate formation and separation are presented. In particular, the effects of two different promoters were investigated. Results show that the reactor allows a good level of temperature control, resulting in rapid hydrate formation and mild operating conditions. Results are a basis for setting up a procedure for CO2 separation and capture.展开更多

For comparison, when only pure carbon dioxide was introduced using the conventional CVD method without integrated process, no solid-form carbon-material product could be formed. In the addition of saturated steam at room temperature in the feed for CVD, there were much more end-opening carbon nano-tubes produced, at a slightly higher carbon yield. These inspiring works opened a remarkable and alternative new approach for carbon dioxide catalytic capture to solid-form product, comparing with that of CO2 sequestration （CCS） or CO2 mineralization （solidification）, etc. As a result, there was much less body volume and almost no greenhouse effect for this solid-form carbon-material than those of primitive carbon dioxide.展开更多

The studies on the capture and storage of CO<sub>2</sub> have gained significant research attention, and to attract the world towards CO<sub>2</sub> capturing and storing, it is necessary to find suitable applications for this captured CO<sub>2</sub>. Methanol is one of the products which can be produced by utilizing the captured CO<sub>2</sub> and hydrogen that can be produced by water splitting. Keeping in view both these green fuel production processes, this study proposes a combined application of both these technologies for the production of methanol, which is an important chemical used in manufacturing industries. This review paper presents a brief study of both carbon capture and hydrogen production technologies. It also provides research trends, economic aspects, and methods of incorporating both these technologies to produce methanol. Additionally, the prospects of the approach in Oman have also been presented.展开更多

Hence, it is extremely pressing to ex- plore efficient and sustainable approaches for the carbon-neutral pathway of CO2 utilization and recycling. In our recent works with this context, we developed successfully a novel ＂chemical vapor deposition integrated process （CVD-IP）＂ technology to converting robustly CO2 into the value-added solid-form carbon materials, The monometallic FeNi0-Al2O3 （FNi0） and bimetallic FeNix-Al2O3 （FNi2, FNi4, FNi8 and FNi20） samples were synthesized and effective for this new approach. The catalyst labeled FNi8 gave the better performance, exhibited the single pass solid carbon yield of 30%. These results illustrated alternative promising cases for the CO2 capture utilization storage （CCUS）, by means of the CO2 catalytic conversion into the solid-form nano carbon materials.展开更多

Numerous efforts have been taken to mitigate CO2 emission, among which is the use of solid sorbents for CO2 capture. In this work, Li4SiO4 was synthesised via a sol-gel method using lithium nitrate （LiNO3） and tetraethylorthosilicate （SiC8H20O4） as precursors. A parametric study of Li：Si molar ratio （1-5）, calcination temperature （600-800℃） and calcination time （1-8 h） were conducted during sorbent synthesis. Calcination temperature （700-800℃） and carbonation temperature （500-700℃） during CO2 sorption activity were also varied to confirm the optimum operating temperature. Sorbent with the highest CO2 sorption capacity was finally introduced to several cyclic tests to study the durability of the sorbent through 10 cycles of CO2 sorption-desorption test. The results showed that the calcination temperature of 800℃ and carbonation temperature of 700℃ were the best operating temperatures, with CO2 sorption capacity of 7.95 mmol CO2·（g sorbent）^-1 （93% of the theoretical yield）. Throughout the ten cyclic processes, CO2 sorption capacity of the sorbent had dropped approximately 16.2% from the first to the tenth cycle, which was a reasonable decline. Thus, it was concluded that Li4SiO4 is a potential CO2 solid sorbent for high temperature CO2 capture activity.展开更多

文摘The development history of carbon capture,utilization and storage for enhanced oil recovery(CCUS-EOR)in China is comprehensively reviewed,which consists of three stages:research and exploration,field test and industrial application.The breakthrough understanding of CO_(2) flooding mechanism and field practice in recent years and the corresponding supporting technical achievements of CCUS-EOR project are systematically described.The future development prospects are also pointed out.After nearly 60 years of exploration,the theory of CO_(2) flooding and storage suitable for continental sedimentary reservoirs in China has been innovatively developed.It is suggested that C7–C15 are also important components affecting miscibility of CO_(2) and crude oil.The mechanism of rapid recovery of formation energy by CO_(2) and significant improvement of block productivity and recovery factor has been verified in field tests.The CCUS-EOR reservoir engineering design technology for continental sedimentary reservoir is established.The technology of reservoir engineering parameter design and well spacing optimization has been developed,which focuses on maintaining miscibility to improve oil displacement efficiency and uniform displacement to improve sweep efficiency.The technology of CO_(2) capture,injection and production process,whole-system anticorrosion,storage monitoring and other whole-process supporting technologies have been initially formed.In order to realize the efficient utilization and permanent storage of CO_(2),it is necessary to take the oil reservoir in the oil-water transition zone into consideration,realize the large-scale CO_(2) flooding and storage in the area from single reservoir to the overall structural control system.The oil reservoir in the oil-water transition zone is developed by stable gravity flooding of injecting CO_(2) from structural highs.The research on the storage technology such as the conversion of residual oil and CO_(2) into methane needs to be carried out.

文摘Among the different types of CO_(2)capture technologies for post-combustion,sorption CO_(2)capture technology with carbon-based sorbents have been extensively explored with the purpose of enhancing their sorption perfor-mance by doping hetero elements due to the rapid reaction kinetics and low costs.Herein,sorption capacity and selectivity for CO_(2)and N 2 on carbon-based sorbents doped with elements such as nitrogen,sulfur,phosphorus,and boron,are evaluated and compared using the grand canonical Monte Carlo(GCMC)method,the universal force field(UFF),and transferable potentials for phase equilibria(TraPPE).The sorption capacities of N-doped porous carbons(PCs)at 50℃were 76.1%,70.7%,50.6%,and 35.7%higher than those of pure PCs,S-doped PCs,P-doped PCs,and B-doped PCs,respectively.Its sorption selectivity at 50℃was approximately 14.0,nearly twice that of pure PCs or other hetero-element-doped PCs.The N-doped PCs showed the largest sorption heat at 50℃among all the PCs,approximately 20.6 kJ·mol^(−1),which was 9.7%−25.5%higher than that of the pure PCs under post-combustion conditions.Additionally,with the product purity of 41.7 vol.%−75.9 vol.%for vacuum pressure swing sorption,and 53.4 vol.%−83.6 vol.%for temperature swing sorption,the latter is more suitable for post-combustion conditions than pressure-swing sorption.

文摘Metal-organic polyhedra(MOPs)have emerged as versatile platforms for artificial models of biological systems due to their discrete structure and modular nature.However,the design and fabrication of MOPs with special functionality for mimicking biological processes are challenging.Inspired by the breathing mechanism of lungs,we developed a new type of MOP(a breathing MOP,denoted as NUT-101)by directly using azobenzene units as the pillars of the polyhedra to coordinate with Zr-based metal clusters.In addition to considerable thermal and chemical stability,the obtained MOP exhibits photocontrollable breathing behavior.Upon irradiation with visible or UV light,the configuration of azobenzene units transforms,leading to reversible expansion or contraction of the cages and,correspondingly,capture or liberation of CO_(2)molecules.Such a breathing behavior of NUT-101 is further confirmed by density functional theory(DFT)calculation.This system might establish an avenue for the construction of new materials with particular functionality that mimic biological processes.

文摘This paper presents the application of a neural network rule extraction algorithm,called the piecewise linear artificial neural network or PWL-ANN algorithm,on a carbon capture process system dataset.The objective of the application is to enhance understanding of the intricate relationships among the key process parameters.The algorithm extracts rules in the form of multiple linear regression equations by approximating the sigmoid activation functions of the hidden neurons in an artificial neural network(ANN).The PWL-ANN algorithm overcomes the weaknesses of the statistical regression approach,in which accuracies of the generated predictive models are often not satisfactory,and the opaqueness of the ANN models.The results show that the generated PWL-ANN models have accuracies that are as high as the originally trained ANN models of the four datasets of the carbon capture process system.An analysis of the extracted rules and the magnitude of the coefficients in the equations revealed that the three most significant parameters of the CO_(2) production rate are the steam flow rate through reboiler,reboiler pressure,and the CO_(2) concentration in the flue gas.

文摘Conversion and capture of carbon pollutants based on carbon dioxide to valuable green oil-field chemicals are target all over the world for controlling the global warming.The present article used new room temperature amphiphilic imidazolium ionic liquids with superior surface activity in the aqueous solutions to convert carbon dioxide gas to superior amphiphilic calcium carbonate nanoparticles.In this respect,tetra-cationic ionic liquids 2-(4-dodecyldimethylamino)phenyl)-1,3-bis(3-dodecyldimethylammnonio)propyl)bromide-1-H-imidazol-3-ium acetate and 2-(4-hexyldimethylamino)phenyl)-1,3-bis(3-hexcyldimethylammnonio)propyl)bromide-1 H-imidazol-3-ium acetate were prepared.Their chemical structures,thermal as well as their carbon dioxide absorption/desorption characteristicswere evaluated.Theywere used as solvent and capping agent to synthesize calcium carbonate nanoparticles with controlled crystalline lattice,sizes,thermal properties and spherical surface morphologies.The prepared calcium carbonate nanoparticles were used as additives for the commercial water based drilling mud to improve their filter lose and rheology.The data confirm that the lower concentrations of 2-(4-dodecyldimethylamino)phenyl)-1,3-bis(3-dodecyldimethylammnonio)propyl)bromide-1-H-imidazol-3-ium acetate achieved lower seawater filter lose and improved viscosities.

文摘CO_(2) capture is a process with a high energy consumption,and its large-scale implementation should be based on comprehensive analysis of its impact on the energy,economy,and environment.The process of injecting CO_(2) into existing oil fields is a well-known enhanced oil recovery(CO_(2)-EOR)technique.Using CO_(2) as a working fluid to recover oil can compensate for the energy consumption of the capture and transport processes,increasing the feasibility of CO_(2) capture while achieving carbon sequestration.In this study,a full-chain CO_(2) capture,utilization,and storage(CCUS)system based on the post-combustion capture method is deconstructed and coupled.A full-chain energy consumption calculation software is developed,and optimization analysis of the energy consumption system is conducted.The energy budget of the oil displacement utilization is deconstructed,and the advantages of the water alternating gas(WAG)method are clarified from an energy budget point of view.The analysis reveals that the benefits of CO_(2)-EOR are far greater than the energy consumption of other CCUS processes,and CCUS-EOR is a CO_(2) utilization method with positive energy benefits.Based on the simulation of the effects of N_(2) and CH_(4) on the recovery factor,a multi-well combined injection-production method is proposed,and the reasons for increasing profit are analyzed.

文摘Through our newly-developed ＂chemical vapor deposition integrated process （ISVD-IP）＇＂ using carbon OlOXlae （t..u2） as me raw matenal and only carbon source introduced, CO2 could be catalytically activated and converted to a new solid-form product, i.e., carbon nanotubes （CO2-derived） at a quite high yield （the single-pass carbon yield in the solid-form carbon-product produced from CO2 catalytic capture and conversion was more than 30% at a single-pass carbon-base）. For comparison, when only pure carbon dioxide was introduced using the conventional CVD method without integrated process, no solid-form carbon-material product could be formed. In the addition of saturated steam at room temperature in the feed for CVD, there were much more end-opening carbon nano-tubes produced, at a slightly higher carbon yield. These inspiring works opened a remarkable and alternative new approach for carbon dioxide catalytic capture to solid-form product, comparing with that of CO2 sequestration （CCS） or CO2 mineralization （solidification）, etc. As a result, there was much less body volume and almost no greenhouse effect for this solid-form carbon-material than those of primitive carbon dioxide.
文摘The global warming issues associated with fossil fuels have forced the world to shift towards environment-friendly alternatives. The studies on the capture and storage of CO<sub>2</sub> have gained significant research attention, and to attract the world towards CO<sub>2</sub> capturing and storing, it is necessary to find suitable applications for this captured CO<sub>2</sub>. Methanol is one of the products which can be produced by utilizing the captured CO<sub>2</sub> and hydrogen that can be produced by water splitting. Keeping in view both these green fuel production processes, this study proposes a combined application of both these technologies for the production of methanol, which is an important chemical used in manufacturing industries. This review paper presents a brief study of both carbon capture and hydrogen production technologies. It also provides research trends, economic aspects, and methods of incorporating both these technologies to produce methanol. Additionally, the prospects of the approach in Oman have also been presented.

文摘Compounds with 1,3,5-triazine ring such as melamine derivatives,known for their low cost and high stability,offer potential for affordable,stable metal organic framework(MOF)synthesis.However,reported such frameworks are facing issues like low stability and reduced porosity.To overcome such problems,we explored organic ligands with protonated nitrogen atoms on the 1,3,5-triazine ring,facilitated by introducing hydroxyl groups on carbon atoms of the triazine ring to construct MOFs.By using 5-azacytosine,we have successfully synthesized SXU-121,a neutral ultramicroporous MOF with eta-topology and high density of open Cu(Ⅰ)sites.SXU-121 features robust structural stability and significant CO_(2)adsorption capacity with high selectivity over N_(2) under ambient conditions.We believe SXU-121's development opens new avenues for creating a class of stable and low cost metal-triazine frameworks with potential diverse functionalities.

文摘The over-consumption of fossil fuels resulted in the large quantity emission of carbon dioxide （CO2）, which was the main reason for the climate change and more extreme weathers. Hence, it is extremely pressing to ex- plore efficient and sustainable approaches for the carbon-neutral pathway of CO2 utilization and recycling. In our recent works with this context, we developed successfully a novel ＂chemical vapor deposition integrated process （CVD-IP）＂ technology to converting robustly CO2 into the value-added solid-form carbon materials, The monometallic FeNi0-Al2O3 （FNi0） and bimetallic FeNix-Al2O3 （FNi2, FNi4, FNi8 and FNi20） samples were synthesized and effective for this new approach. The catalyst labeled FNi8 gave the better performance, exhibited the single pass solid carbon yield of 30%. These results illustrated alternative promising cases for the CO2 capture utilization storage （CCUS）, by means of the CO2 catalytic conversion into the solid-form nano carbon materials.

文摘The world is currently facing the challenges of global warming and climate change. Numerous efforts have been taken to mitigate CO2 emission, among which is the use of solid sorbents for CO2 capture. In this work, Li4SiO4 was synthesised via a sol-gel method using lithium nitrate （LiNO3） and tetraethylorthosilicate （SiC8H20O4） as precursors. A parametric study of Li：Si molar ratio （1-5）, calcination temperature （600-800℃） and calcination time （1-8 h） were conducted during sorbent synthesis. Calcination temperature （700-800℃） and carbonation temperature （500-700℃） during CO2 sorption activity were also varied to confirm the optimum operating temperature. Sorbent with the highest CO2 sorption capacity was finally introduced to several cyclic tests to study the durability of the sorbent through 10 cycles of CO2 sorption-desorption test. The results showed that the calcination temperature of 800℃ and carbonation temperature of 700℃ were the best operating temperatures, with CO2 sorption capacity of 7.95 mmol CO2·（g sorbent）^-1 （93% of the theoretical yield）. Throughout the ten cyclic processes, CO2 sorption capacity of the sorbent had dropped approximately 16.2% from the first to the tenth cycle, which was a reasonable decline. Thus, it was concluded that Li4SiO4 is a potential CO2 solid sorbent for high temperature CO2 capture activity.
