Carbon dioxide storage

Implementing CCS would create a whole new value chain of plants with C02 capture, of C02 transport and of C02 storage. Carbon dioxide transport could be performed by pipelines on land or in the marine environment. For marine transport, ships could also be used. Creating a new C02 infrastructure is a challenging task, similar to the build-up of a hydrogen infrastructure that s why a combined build-up should be envisaged, where possible. 

For safe and long-term storage, carbon dioxide must be injected more than 800 m below the Earth s surface. At that depth, the gas becomes a supercritical fluid. Such fluids have the gas-like characteristic of low viscosity and the liquidlike characteristic of high density. Supercritical behaviour exists only when temperature and pressure both reach, or exceed, their respective values at the so-called critical point . Every substance has its own critical temperature, above which the gas cannot be liquefied no matter how high the pressure. For carbon dioxide, the critical point lies at 31 °C and 7.4 MPa. Supercritical fluids have properties similar to those of liquid solvents and are employed commercially to extract soluble substances. For example, supercritical carbon dioxide is used to remove caffeine from coffee.

Production and Shipment. Estimated adiponitrile production capacities in the U.S. in 1992 were about 625 thousand metric tons and worldwide capacity was in excess of lO metric tons. The DOT/IMO classification for adiponitrile is class 6.1 hazard, UN No. 2205. It requires a POISON label on all containers and is in packing group III. Approved materials of constmction for shipping, storage, and associated transportation equipment are carbon steel and type 316 stainless steel. Either centrifugal or positive displacement pumps may be used. Carbon dioxide or chemical-foam fire extinguishers should be used. There are no specifications for commercial adiponitrile. The typical composition is 99.5 wt % adiponitrile. Impurities that may be present depend on the method of manufacture, and thus, vary depending on the source. 

Shipment. The DOT/IMO shipping information is shown in Table 6. Approved materials of constmction for shipping, storage, and associated transportation equipment are lined carbon steel (DOT spec. 105 S 500W) and type 316 stainless steel. Water spray, carbon dioxide, chemical-foam, or dry-chemical fire extinguishers may be used. 

C depending on the reference consulted). Fires may be controlled with carbon dioxide or dry chemical extinguishers. Recommended methods of handlings loadings unloadings and storage can be obtained from Material Safety Data Sheets and inquiries directed to suppHers of acetone. 

Breweries. Air conditioning and the extensive use of refrigeration are necessary to provide controEed temperature in wort cooling, fermentation, storage, and final packaging of the finished beer. Sanitation and removal of carbon dioxide are important aspects of this appHcation (see... 

AH the peroxides are colorless and diamagnetic when pure. Traces of the superoxide in technical-grade sodium peroxide impart a yellow color. Storage containers must be sealed to prevent reaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide and water vapor. 

BiaxiaHy orieated PPS film is transpareat and nearly colorless. It has low permeability to water vapor, carbon dioxide, and oxygen. PPS film has a low coefficient of hygroscopic expansion and a low dissipation factor, making it a candidate material for information storage devices and for thin-film capacitors. Chemical and thermal stability of PPS film derives from inherent resia properties. PPS films exposed to tolueae or chloroform for 8 weeks retaia 75% of theh original streagth. The UL temperature iadex rating of PPS film is 160°C for mechanical appHcatioas and 180°C for electrical appHcations. Table 9 summarizes the properties of PPS film. 

SoHd carbon dioxide is produced ia blocks by hydrauHc presses. Standard presses produce blocks 25 x 25 x 25 cm, 50 x 25 x 25 cm, or 50 X 50 X 25 cm. A 25-cm cube of dry ice weighs 23 kg, allowiag for about 10% sublimatioa loss duriag storage and shipment (some 27-kg blocks are also produced). Dry ice is about 1.7 times as dense as water ice, whereas its net refrigerating effect on a weight basis is twice that of water ice. Automation and improved operating cycles have iacreased dry-ice press capacities so that one 50 x 50 x 30 cm press can produce more than thirty metric tons of dry-ice blocks per day (42). 

The egg shell is 94% calcium carbonate [471-34-17, CaCO, 1% calcium phosphate [7758-23-8] and a small amount of magnesium carbonate [546-93-0]. A water-insoluble keratin-type protein is found within the shell and in the outer cuticle coating. The pores of the shell allow carbon dioxide and water to escape during storage. The shell is separated from the egg contents by two protein membranes. The air cell formed by separation of these membranes increases in size because of water loss. The air cell originally forms because of the contraction of the Hquid within the egg shell when the temperature changes from the body temperature of the hen at 41.6°C to a storage temperature of the egg at 7.2°C. 

The component reactions in eqn. (2) are very fast, and the system exists in equilibrium. Additional carbon dioxide entering the sea is thus quickly converted into anions, distributing carbon atoms between the dissolved gas phase, carbonate and bicarbonate ions. This storage capacity is clear when the apparent equilibrium constants for the two reactions in eqn. (2) are examined, namely...

Analysis of an incident (Van Wees 1989) involving a carbon dioxide storage vessel suggests that carbon dioxide can evaporate explosively even when its temperature is below T. This may occur because carbon dioxide crystallizes at ambient pressure, thus presenting enough nucleation sites for liquid to flash.
