Started as an EOR technique to produce oil, injection of carbon dioxide which is essentially a greenhouse gas is becoming more and more important. Although there are a number of mathematical modeling studies, experimental studies are limited and most studies focus on injection into sandstone reservoirs as opposed to carbonate ones. This study presents the results of computerized tomography (CT) monitored laboratory experiments to characterize relevant chemical reactions associated with injection and storage of CO 2 in carbonate formations. Porosity changes along the core plugs and the corresponding permeability changes are reported for differing CO2 injection rates and with differing salt concentrations. CT monitored experiments are designed to model fast near wellbore flow and slow reservoir flows. It was observed that permeability initially increased and decreased for slow injection cases. As the salt concentration decreased the porosity and thus the permeability decrease was less pronounced. The experiments were modeled using a commercial simulator where solution and deposition of calcite were considered by means of chemical reactions. The calibrated model was then used to analyze field scale injections. It was observed that solubility storage of CO2 is larger compared to mineral trapping.

CO2 injection into saline carbonate aquifer formations II: Comparison of numerical simulations to experiments Izgec, Omer; Demiral, Birol; Bertin, Henri; Akın, Serhat (2008-05-01) Sequestration of carbon dioxide in geological formations is an alternative way of managing extra carbon. Although there are a number of mathematical modeling studies related to this subject, experimental studies are limited and most studies focus on injection into sandstone reservoirs as opposed to carbonate ones. This study describes a fully coupled geochemical compositional equation-of-state compositional simulator (STARS) for the simulation of CO2 storage in saline aquifers. STARS models physical phenome...
Experimental and numerical investigation of the carbon dioxide sequestration in the carbonate rocks Karbonat kayaçlarda karbon dioksit tecridinin deneysel ve sayisal olarak araştirilmasi Izgeç, Ömer; Demiral, Birol; Bertin, Henri; Akın, Serhat (2005-12-01) Started as an EOR technique to produce oil, injection of CO2 which is essentially a greenhouse gas is becoming more and more important. The relevant chemical reactions associated with injection and storage of CO in carbonate formations were studied. Porosity changes along the core plugs and the corresponding permeability changes were presented for differing CO2 injection rates, differing temperatures with dffering salt concentrations.

CO2 hydrogenation to methanol and dimethyl ether at atmospheric pressure using Cu-Ho-Ga/gamma-Al2O3 and Cu-Ho-Ga/ZSM-5: Experimental study and thermodynamic analysis Tuygun, Cansu; İpek Torun, Bahar (2021-01-01) CO2 valorization through chemical reactions attracts significant attention due to the mitigation of greenhouse gas effects. This article covers the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol and dimethyl ether using Cu-Ho-Ga containing ZSM-5 and gamma-Al2O3 at atmospheric pressure and at temperatures of 210 degrees C and 260 degrees C using a CO2:H-2 feed ratio of 1:3 and 1:9. In addition, the thermodynamic limitations of methanol and DME formation from CO2 was investigated at a temperature range of 100-400...
Sorption enhanced ethanol reforming over cobalt, nickel incorporated mcm-41 for hydrogen production Gündüz, Seval; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2011) The interest in hydrogen as a clean energy source has increased due to depletion of limited fossil resources and environmental impact related to CO2 emissions. Hydrogen production from bio-ethanol, which already contains large amount of water, by steam reforming reaction, has shown excellent potential with CO2 neutrality. However, steam reforming of ethanol reaction is a highly complex process including many side reactions which decrease hydrogen yield and have a negative effect on process economy. Also, th...
