CO2 sequestration modeling in aquifers from an analytical point of view was studied. The driving force was based on a description of a model that analyzes the mechanisms of supercritical CO2 disposal in aquifers. The CO2 presence was analyzed from two different aspects, as gas bubble formation and as dissolution in brine. In the model, for the determination of the pressure distribution in the gas bubble, a constant injection rate was taken into consideration. With the formation of the gas bubble, the gravitational effects caused the CO2 to raise and accumulate under the caprock. For this accumulation process, a maximum bubble thickness was determined to avoid leakage through the fractures in the caprock. For the CO2 that is in the dissolved phase in the aquifer the salinity calculations were taken into consideration. One effect of salinity was that it causes an increase in brine viscosity resulting in a decrease in sweep efficiency.

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...

Co-combustion performance of oil shale and biomass fuels
Özgür, Emre; Miller, Sharon Falcone; Miller, Bruce G.; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2010-12-01)
In this study, the thermal analysis of co-combustion of biomass fuels and oil shale were investigated. The objective was to assess the effect of the biomass on combustion performance when blended with oil shale. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry were used to analyze the samples. The biomass samples studied were hazelnut shell, wheat bran, poplar, and miscanthus. Co-combustion of blends were performed at different biomass proportions (10, 20, 50 % by wt.).
CO2 injection into saline carbonate aquifer formations I: laboratory investigation
Izgec, Omer; Demiral, Birol; Bertin, Henri; Akın, Serhat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-03-01)
Although there are a number of mathematical modeling studies for carbon dioxide (CO2) injection into aquifer formations, 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 analyze permeability and porosity changes as well as to characterize relevant chemical reactions associated with injection and storage of CO2 in carbonate formations....
CO2 hydrogenation to methanol over supported copper and gallium based catalysts at the atmospheric pressure
Osmanağa, Sezer; İpek Torun, Bahar; Önal, Işık; Department of Chemical Engineering (2022-8)
The continuous increase of the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has been negatively impacting the environment, due to its contribution in the global warming. Hence, it is necessary for the current CO2 valorization techniques to advance in order to make use of CO2. A possible technique is the CO2 hydrogenation to methanol and DME. The process of CO2 hydrogenation to methanol has been taking place in industry for about a century. However, due to the thermodynamic limitation imposed by the reaction stoichio...
