There are many economic obstacles and complex engineering problems associated with CO2 capture and storage in saline aquifers that need to be addressed. Overcoming such challenges requires precise knowledge on the fluid phase equilibria of CO2-brine systems. Having accurate CO2 solubility data over a wide range of temperature and pressure can greatly assist in resolving these obstacles by improving the performance and accuracy of the thermodynamic modeling and subsequent CCS engineering success.
CO2 solubility in pure water and NaCl solutions has been widely studied in the literature, however, there is a lack of data on CO2 solubility at lower temperatures (below 298 K). Furthermore, limited phase equilibria data are available for CO2 solubility in CaCl2, MgCl2, and KCl solutions at elevated temperatures (i.e., T > 323.15 K).
期刊介绍:
Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology is a new online-only scientific journal dedicated to the management of greenhouse gases. The journal will focus on methods for carbon capture and storage (CCS), as well as utilization of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a feedstock for fuels and chemicals. GHG will also provide insight into strategies to mitigate emissions of other greenhouse gases. Significant advances will be explored in critical reviews, commentary articles and short communications of broad interest. In addition, the journal will offer analyses of relevant economic and political issues, industry developments and case studies.
Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology is an exciting new online-only journal published as a co-operative venture of the SCI (Society of Chemical Industry) and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
