Abstract:
Carbon emissions from coal mining and use are one of the causes of global warming, to reduce CO
2 emissions and achieve the dual carbon goal, it is necessary to promote the development of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology. The research on the properties of CO
2 is fundamental to CCUS technology, and dense phase CO
2 is involved in both the capture and storage stages of carbon dioxide. However, there is still a gap in the current research on the properties of dense phase CO
2. Therefore, to further explore the dissolving ability of dense phase CO
2, N
2 is carried out in laboratory to dissolve in the liquid phase, dense phase CO
2 test, obtained the N
2. The research results show that the solubility of N
2 in CO
2 is positively correlated with pressure in various single phase states between 5 and 9 MPa at 287.15 K. Generally, the N
2 content in liquid CO
2 fluctuates around 14%, while in dense CO
2 it fluctuates around 20%. The transition from general liquid to dense phase results in a sudden increase in N
2 content from 13.38% to 18.45%, and the results of molecular dynamics simulation indicate that the diffusion coefficient, radial distribution function, and interaction energy between CO
2 molecules and N
2 molecules are the direct reasons for the stronger solubility of dense phase CO
2. The changes in bond angle and coordination number of CO
2 molecules are only affected by the pressure changes in the receptor system, and are not directly affected by the CO
2 phase change, which is an indirect reason for the stronger solubility of dense phase CO
2. The bond length of CO
2 molecules does not change significantly with the pressure and CO
2 phase change in the system, so it is not the reason for the stronger solubility of dense phase CO
2.
