Abstract

CO2 sequestration in sediments as hydrate form is considered to be a promising way to achieve CO2 emission reduction in the atmosphere. The key problem with hydrate-based technology for CO2 geological storage is the evaluation of the formation process and gas storage capability of hydrate. In this study, the fundamental issue of different particle size and grain grading affected CO2 hydrate formation and storage characteristics in porous media was deeply analyzed. The effect of various particle sizes and grain grading on the gas consumption rate and gas storage capacity of CO2 hydrate were quantitatively illustrated. The results indicated that the hydrate formation is more difficult in porous media with tiny particle sizes. The gas storage capacity and gas consumption rate of CO2 hydrate increased as the particle size increased within a range of 10–63 μm. The maximum gas storage capacity attains 25.65 L/L when the particle size is 63 μm. Besides, compared with single particle size, porous media with grain gradation is adverse to hydrate formation. The results also show that, the obstruction effect on the gas consumption rate and gas storage capacity is more obvious with the increase of the differences in grain gradation. The cooperative impact of particle size and gradation on hydrate formation was studied. The closer the size of the mixed particles is, the more favorable to hydrate formation. The relevant results will aid in comprehending the hydrate formation properties in submarine sediments and will serve as an essential theoretical reference and guide for CO2 capture and sequestration hydrate-based method.
