Study on the CO2 solubility in aqueous solution from Lw-V two-phase
system to H-Lw-V coexistence system
Abstract
The gas solubility in the aqueous solution surrounded the hydrate
particle are important for determining hydrate growth rate and
stability, which are the main concerns for marine CCUS. This work
conducted a series of experiments to study the influence of temperature,
pressure, and salinity on CO2 solubility in wider temperature and
pressure range, ranging from liquid-gas (Lw-V) two-phase system,
hydrate-liquid-gas (H-Lw-V) three-phase equilibrium system, to hydrate
stability zone. The CO2 solubility curves in wider temperature and
pressure range from Lw-V two-phase system to hydrate stability zone are
achieved in this work. Meanwhile, the experimental results show that the
CO2 solubility in brine at H-Lw-V three-phase equilibrium conditions is
higher than that in deionized water, while it doesn’t linearly increase
with the increase of salt concentration.
