云贵高原湖泊CO2的地球化学变化及其大气CO2源汇效应

湖泊是大气CO₂的源还是汇,长期以来一直都存有争议。云贵高原地区的湖泊由于受流域碳酸盐岩风化作用的影响,使这一问题就显得更特殊,也更复杂。本次研究通过化学平衡计算和气相色谱测定两种方法得到了比较一致的湖水CO₂浓度结果。研究发现,在夏季强烈的光合作用消耗了湖水CO₂,致使湖水中CO₂浓度降低。在贵州草海、百花湖以及云南的泸沽湖、杞麓湖,表层湖水CO₂分压(为便于与大气CO₂比较,文中湖水CO2用分压单位表示)小于200μatm,远低于大气CO₂分压,湖泊正不断地从大气中吸收CO₂,从而构成大气CO₂的汇。     

水射流破碎联合CO2置换开采天然气水合物新工艺及实验研究

本文对目前开采天然气水合物的5种方法进行了归纳总结,重点分析了CO₂置换开采以及固体开采法,并通过分析这2种开采方法的优劣势,提出了水射流冲蚀、破碎海洋天然气水合物储层联合CO₂置换开采天然气水合物的新思路。水射流冲蚀、破坏水合物储层后形成的采空区能为CO₂提供更好的储藏空间并提高其与储层的作用面积,提高置换效率;封存的CO₂水合物也可以提高水合物储层的稳定性,具有良好的互补效应。实验结果表明,在整个置换过程中,含采空区储层CH₄置换率为24.3%,CO₂封存率为22.1%;完整储层CH₄置换率为15.3%,CO₂封存率为20.9%,置换率提升约59%,封存率提升约5.7%。采空区的作用主要体现在提升水合物置换介质的注入量上。

结合三水盆地的地质特点，分析了无机CO₂热模拟实验研究的可能性，进行了不同条件下的模拟试验和相关的分析测试，提出了无机CO₂生成量和转化率的概念和计算方法。从实验结果来看：含有一定量碳酸盐矿物的沉积岩，在一定温度下可转化形成相当数量的无机CO₂，无机CO₂转化率越高，岩石中碳酸盐矿物越容易转化生成无机CO₂；相同热成熟度条件下，Ⅱ型干酪根生成有机CO₂的量较Ⅲ型的少；CO₂中碳同位素与CO₂的成因密切相关，随有机质热成熟度的增加，同种类型有机质生成的有机CO₂相对富集¹³C；无机CO₂较有机CO₂的碳同位素明显富集¹³C，随水介质的pH值降低，无机CO₂气含量、模拟温度及时间的增加，无机CO₂相对富集¹³C。实验研究结果为CO₂成因研究及其资源评价提供了实验依据。     

H2O2在α-Fe2O3表面非均相氧化SO2机理的模拟研究

通过密度泛函理论模拟了H_2O_2和SO_2气体在矿物氧化物(α-Fe_2O_3)表面上的非均相反应,研究了H_2O_2和SO_2在α-Fe_2O_3(001)表面的吸附机制和氧化机制。研究结果表明,SO_2、H_2O_2均在α-Fe_2O_3(001)表面通过Fe原子进行吸附,H_2O_2相比于SO_2优先吸附在α-Fe_2O_3(001)表面,且H_2O_2在表面的赋存形式趋向于两个·OH形式吸附。通过二者共吸附的局域态密度、差分电荷密度、Mulliken电荷布局分析结果发现,SO_2和H_2O_2的共吸附形式是通过H_2O_2产生的·OH吸附在α-Fe_2O_3(001)表面,同时SO_2被H_2O_2产生的·OH氧化[S(SO_2)-电荷布局:0. 79 e→1. 32 e; O(H_2O_2)-电荷布局:-0. 77 e→-1. 11 e]形成·OH+SO_2团簇。模拟结果表明大气微量气体H_2O_2能够在矿物氧化物表面介导SO_2吸附并促进SO_2的转化,为理解H_2O_2在大气中非均相氧化SO_2的反应过程提供了理论依据。     

腾冲新生代火山区温泉CO2气体排放通量研究

近期研究表明,不仅火山喷发期会向当时的大气圈输送大量的温室气体,火山间歇期同样会释放大量的温室气体。在火山活动间歇期,火山区主要以喷气孔、温(热)泉以及土壤微渗漏等形式向大气圈释放温室气体。腾冲是我国重要的新生代火山区,同时也是重要的水热活动区,那里出露大量的温泉,然而目前未见腾冲火山区温泉气体排放通量的研究报道。本文利用数字皂膜通量仪测量了腾冲新生代火山区温泉中CO₂的排放通量。研究结果表明,腾冲新生代火山区温泉向当今大气圈输送的CO₂通量达3.58×10³ t·a^-1,相当于意大利锡耶纳Bassoleto地热区温泉中CO₂的排放规模。腾冲火山区温泉的CO₂释放通量主要受深部岩浆囊、断裂分布、地下水循环、围岩成分等多方面因素的影响。本文根据温泉中CO₂的排放特征,将腾冲温泉分为南北两区,南区温泉CO₂通量远高于北区的温泉,热海地热区的通量为腾冲CO₂通量的最大值。在北温泉区,CO₂通量主要受控于断裂的分布;而在南温泉区,除受到断裂控制外,热海地热区底部的岩浆囊及其与围岩的相互作用成为CO₂气体的重要物质来源,同时高温的岩浆囊为温泉及CO₂的形成提供了重要热源。

四川冕宁木落稀土矿床稀土矿物中富CO2和H2流体包裹体研究

木落稀土矿床位于四川省冕宁县境内，其成矿与喜山期岩浆碳酸岩有关。通过对矿床中主要稀土矿物氟碳铈矿中流体包裹体的岩相学、包裹体显微测温分析和包裹体成分的LRM分析等，对成矿流体的特征、演化及稀土矿化过程进行了讨论，结果表明与稀土成矿有关的流体为富CO₂和SO₂ 的中高温、高压超临界流体。温度、压力降低和流体不混溶是造成稀土矿物沉淀的主要机制。     

采空区对CO2置换开采海域天然气水合物置换效果影响的实验研究

为揭示固体开采形成的采空区对CO₂置换开采天然气水合物置换效果的影响,开展了含采空区储层与完整储层的CO₂/N₂置换开采不同天然气水合物饱和度对比实验研究。结果表明：对于水合物饱和度分别为30%和45%的试样,含采空区储层较完整储层的CH₄置换率分别提高了5.5%和9%,单位体积CO₂封存量分别提高了26.5%和39.8%。采空区的存在提高了置换介质与天然气水合物的摩尔比率,从而提供了更高的置换驱动力;且在较高水合物饱和度试样中采空区还会提高置换介质的扩散作用,导致含采空区储层的置换效果好于完整储层。因此,在固体开采后进一步进行CO₂置换开采,可以提高置换开采效率,同时有助于碳封存与地层稳定,是一种潜在的海域天然气水合物安全、绿色开采模式。

二氧化碳地质研究的意义及全球高含二氧化碳天然气的分布特点

二氧化碳地质研究具有重要的资源意义和地学意义。其资源意义表现在高纯CO₂天然气可视为珍贵的矿产资源,在工农业中有广阔的用途。CO₂地质研究的其它地学意义在于它是全球碳循环过程中的重要中枢,也是人类认识自然的极好指标。全球高含CO₂天然气的分布具有明显的区域性特点,主要分布在北美洛基山东麓、中国东部、南中国海、南澳大利亚和新西兰,等环太平洋国家和地区,还有欧洲喀尔巴阡地区和高加索地区。这些地区正好是中—新生代火山—岩浆活动激烈、构造十分发育、地热流值异常高的含烃或高含碳酸盐物质的沉积盆地。     

花岗岩—H2O—HF体系相关系及氟对花岗质熔体结构的影响

通过在0.1GPa压力下钠长花岗岩-H₂O-HF体系相关系实验获得,随体系F含量的增加,石英的温度稳定域上限升高,长石的温度稳定域上限降低;石英、碱性长石的晶-液平衡热力学计算表明,F导致花岗质熔体中组分SiO₂的活度增加,组分NaAlSi₃O₈和KAlSi₃O₈的活度减小,且NaAlSi₃O₈活度较KAlSi₃O₈活度减小幅度大。这些结果显示了F在花岗质熔体中与Si以外的阳离子Al、Na、K等产生了结合,且F与Na结合的优先性大于K,破坏了具有电荷平衡离子Na、K的AlO₂^-四面体,使熔体架状网格中Si/(Si+Al)和K/Na比值增大。通过F与H₂O对花岗岩体系相平衡的影响比较,作者认为F不与Si结合是它与OH^-在干扰熔体结构方面的最大区别。

40Ar(40Ar＊＋40ArE)、39Ar释气特征与过剩氩的甄别及年代学意义

对具有不同地质历史背景的3类⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar法样品中的⁴⁰Ar和³⁹Ar释出特征进行对比,研究结果表明,⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar法样品中的⁴⁰Ar、³⁹Ar释气曲线主要表现为以下3种形式:完全重合型、过剩氩型和不规则型。当⁴⁰Ar与³⁹Ar释气曲线呈完全重合型时,⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar法全熔年龄代表了岩体的形成年龄;当⁴⁰Ar、³⁹Ar释气曲线是过剩氩型时,⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar法全熔年龄则大于岩体的形成年龄;当⁴⁰Ar与³⁹Ar释气曲线呈不规则型时,表明样品中的放射成固氩(⁴⁰Ar^*)发生了丢失,其全熔年龄一般较岩体的形成年龄小。对于⁴⁰Ar、³⁹Ar释气曲线呈过剩氩型的样品,⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar法年龄谱通常呈马鞍形,且马鞍形年龄谱的底部年龄一般都具有地质意义,代表了岩体的形成年龄。对于⁴⁰Ar、³⁹Ar释气曲线呈不规则型的样品,对其年龄谱的解释应持谨慎态度。     

黑钨矿有效沉淀机制:CO2逃逸

黑钨矿是石英脉钨矿床的主要矿石矿物,其沉淀机制一直存在争议。CO₂逃逸能否造成黑钨矿有效沉淀尚缺乏定量模型的评价。文章建立了W-Fe-Cl-Na-O-C-H体系的反应平衡模型,涉及22种组分和16个化学反应;相关热力学参数来自SUPCRT数据库。模型计算结果表明,pH与流体压力呈负相关关系,而钨溶解度与流体压力呈正相关关系;当成矿流体压力从静岩压力降至静水压力水平,钨溶解度降幅可达到27%~47%,降幅与温度和深度成正比。因而,降压造成的CO₂逃逸是黑钨矿沉淀的有效机制之一。      

Geologic factors controlling CO2 storage capacity and permanence: case studies based on experience with heterogeneity in oil and gas reservoirs applied to CO2 storage

A variety of structural and stratigraphic factors control geological heterogeneity, inferred to influence both sequestration capacity and effectiveness, as well as seal capacity. Structural heterogeneity factors include faults, folds, and fracture intensity. Stratigraphic heterogeneity is primarily controlled by the geometry of depositional facies and sandbody continuity, which controls permeability structure. The permeability structure, in turn, has implications for CO₂ injectivity and near-term migration pathways, whereas the long-term sequestration capacity can be inferred from the production history. Examples of Gulf Coast oil and gas reservoirs with differing styles of stratigraphic heterogeneity demonstrate the impact of facies variability on fluid flow and CO₂ sequestration potential. Beach and barrier-island deposits in West Ranch field in southeast Texas are homogeneous and continuous. In contrast, Seeligson and Stratton fields in south Texas, examples of major heterogeneity in fluvial systems, are composed of discontinuous, channel-fill sandstones confined to narrow, sinuous belts. These heterogeneous deposits contain limited compartments for potential CO₂ storage, although CO₂ sequestration effectiveness may be enhanced by the high number of intraformational shale beds. These field examples demonstrate that areas for CO₂ storage can be optimized by assessing sites for enhanced oil and gas recovery in mature hydrocarbon provinces.     

The rise of trees and their effects on Paleozoic atmospheric CO2 and O2

The rise of large vascular plants during the mid-Paleozoic brought about a major increase in the rates of weathering of silicate minerals that induced a drop in the level of atmospheric CO₂ and contributed, via the atmospheric greenhouse effect, to global cooling and the initiation of the most long lived and a really extensive glaciation of the past 550 million years. Sedimentary burial of the microbiologically resistant remains of the plants resulted during the Permo-Carboniferous in both further lowering of CO₂ and in elevation of atmospheric O₂. Evidence of changes in CO₂ and O₂ are provided by mathematical models, studies of paleosols, fossil plants, fossil insects, and the effects of modern plants on silicate weathering, and by laboratory studies of the effects of changes in O₂ on plants and insects.

Laboratory study of self-potential signals during releasing of CO2 and N2 plumes

Carbon Capture Sequestration (CCS) projects require, for safety reasons, monitoring programmes focused on surveying gas leakage on the surface. Generally, these programmes include detection of chemical tracers that, once on the surface, could be associated with CO₂ degassing. We take a different approach by analysing feasibility of applying electrical surface techniques, specifically Self-Potential. A laboratory-scale model, using water-sand, was built for simulating a leakage scenario being monitored with non-polarisable electrodes. Electrical potentials were measured before, during and after gas injection (CO₂ and N₂) to determine if gas leakage is detectable. Variations of settings were done for assessing how the electrical potentials changed according to size of electrodes, distance from electrodes to the gas source, and type of gas. Results indicated that a degassing event is indeed detectable on electrodes located above injection source. Although the amount of gas could not be quantified from signals, injection timespan and increasing of injection rate were identified. Even though conditions of experiments were highly controlled contrasting to those usually found at field scale, we project that Self-Potential is a promising tool for detecting CO₂ leakage if electrodes are properly placed.     

Selection of coals of different maturities for CO2 Storage by modelling of CH4 and CO2 adsorption isotherms

CO₂ injection in unmineable coal seams could be one interesting option for both storage and methane recovery processes. The objective of this study is to compare and model pure gas sorption isotherms (CO₂ and CH₄) for well-characterised coals of different maturities to determine the most suitable coal for CO₂ storage. Carbon dioxide and methane adsorption on several coals have been investigated using a gravimetric adsorption method. The experiments were carried out using both CO₂ and CH₄ pure gases at 25 °C from 0.1 to 5 MPa (1 to 50 bar). The experimental results were fitted using Temkin's approach but also with the corrected Langmuir's and the corrected Tóth's equations. The two last approaches are more accurate from a thermodynamical point of view, and have the advantage of taking into account the fact that experimental data (isotherms) correspond to excess adsorption capacities. These approaches allow better quantification of the adsorbed gas. Determined CO₂ adsorption capacities are from 0.5 to 2 mmol/g of dry coal. Modelling provides also the affinity parameters of the two gases for the different coals. We have shown these parameters determined with adsorption models could be used for classification and first selection of coals for CO₂ storage. The affinity ratio ranges from a value close to 1 for immature coals to 41 for high rank coals like anthracites. This ratio allows selecting coals having high CO₂ adsorption capacities. In our case, the modelling study of a significant number of coals from various ranks shows that anthracites seem to have the highest CO₂ storage capacities. Our study provides high quality affinity parameters and values of CO₂ and CH₄ adsorption capacities on various coals for the future modelling of CO₂ injection in coal seams.
