Methane generation from low-maturity coals and shale source rocks at low temperatures (80–120 °C) over 14–38 months

This study contributes long-term (14 to 38 months) experimental evidence for geocatalytically mediated methanogenesis in immature to early mature shale and coal source rocks at temperatures from 80 to 120 °C. Borosilicate glass tubes with pre-outgassed coal and shale source rock chips and water were sealed under vacuum, sterilized, heated isothermally, and finally opened in connection with a vacuum line where headspace gases methane (CH 4 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) were collected. The possibility of admitting pre-existing CH 4 from closed pores into product gases during heating experiments was evaluated by comparative ball milling of original and heated rock chips, followed by quantitation of released gases with a novel closed-circuit laser-based SARAD RTM2200 gas detector system with sub-µmol sensitivity. The yields of produced CH 4 from individual source rocks were corrected by subtracting the amounts of pre-existing CH 4 from formerly closed pores in original source rocks that had leaked during long-term heating. Different shales and coals express contrasting propensities to geocatalytically generate CH 4 and CO 2 , with CH 4 yields ranging from 0.1 to 5.5 µmol g-1 total organic carbon (TOC). CH 4 yields from two petrographically different samples of Springfield Coal with comparable thermal maturity suggest that liptinite expresses a far higher propensity for methanogenesis, but liberates less CO 2 than vitrinite. Shale from the Second White Specks Formation generated approximately 10 times more CH 4 than New Albany Shale per g of TOC, further suggesting complex controls on CH 4 generation during catalytic methanogenesis. Higher temperature can enhance the activities of catalytic methanogenesis. Here, the extrapolation of laboratory-based reaction rates to natural conditions in organic-rich buried sediments suggests that geocatalytic methanogenesis can be fast enough in some source rocks to generate economically sizeable gas plays from immature to early mature source rocks over geologic time.

Transcritical diffuse-interface hydrodynamics of propellants in high-pressure combustors of chemical propulsion systems

Rocket engines and high-power new generations of gas-turbine jet engines and diesel engines oftentimes involve the injection of one or more reactants at subcritical temperatures into combustor environments at high pressures, and more particularly at pressures higher than those corresponding to the critical points of the individual components of the mixture, which typically range from 13 to 50 bars for most propellants. This class of trajectories in the thermodynamic space has been traditionally referred to as transcritical. However, the fundamental understanding of fuel atomization, vaporization, mixing, and combustion processes at such high pressures remains elusive. In particular, whereas fuel sprays are relatively well characterized at normal pressures, analyses of dispersion of fuel in high-pressure combustors are hindered by the limited experimental diagnostics and theoretical formulations available. The description of the thermodynamics of hydrocarbon-fueled mixtures employed in chemical propulsion systems is complex and involves mixing-induced phenomena, including an elevation of the critical point whereby the coexistence region of the mixture extends up to pressures much larger than the critical pressures of the individual components. As a result, interfaces subject to surface-tension forces may persist in multicomponent systems despite the high pressures, and may give rise to unexpected spray-like atomization dynamics that are otherwise absent in monocomponent systems above their critical point. In this article, the current understanding of this phenomenon is reviewed within the context of propulsion systems fueled by heavy hydrocarbons. Emphasis is made on analytical descriptions at mesoscopic scales of interest for computational fluid dynamics. In particular, a set of modifications of the constitutive laws in the Navier–Stokes equations for multicomponent flows, supplemented with a high-pressure equation of state and appropriate redefinitions of the thermodynamic potentials, are introduced in this work based on an extended version of the diffuse-interface theory of van der Waals. The resulting formulation involves revisited forms of the stress tensor and transport fluxes of heat and species, and enables a description of the mesoscopic volumetric effects induced by transcritical interfaces consistently with the thermodynamic phase diagram of the mixture at high pressures. Additionally, applications of the theory are illustrated in canonical problems, including dodecane/nitrogen transcritical interfaces in non-isothermal systems. The results indicate that a transcritical interface is formed between the propellant streams that persists downstream of the injection orifice over distances of the same order as the characteristic thermal-entrance length of the fuel stream. The transcritical interface vanishes at an edge that gives rise to a fully supercritical mixing layer.

Characterization of shale using Helium and Argon at high pressures

In order to estimate the shale gas in place and the eventual recovery during shale gas operations, one of the key requirements is to accurately characterize the shale’s petrophysical and transport properties such as porosity, permeability, diffusivity, and storage capacity. Despite the many efforts reported in the technical literature aiming to provide an improved understanding of the complex pore structures and the associated fluid flow in gas shales, complete characterization of organic-rich shale samples still poses a big challenge. Here, we have characterized mass transfer and sorption in shale at different length scales using Helium (He) and Argon (Ar) as probe gases. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) with a shale cube of ~1 cm 3 in size and gas expansion experiments with a full-diameter core (3.5” in diameter) were used to measure sorption kinetics/isotherms and mass transfer, respectively. Both samples are from the same depth/location in the Marcellus shale formation. The TGA steady-state technique was initially used to generate excess sorption isotherms for Ar, while dynamic TGA experiments were used to study its sorption kinetics. The TGA experiments demonstrate that Ar, which has a similar sorption potential as Methane, but is generally assumed to be inert, adsorbs onto the surfaces of the mesoporous and microporous regions of the shale samples according to a Langmuir-type behavior. Helium expansion experiments, on the full-diameter core, were used to measure the overall porosity, on the basis that He is a non-sorbing and inert gas as compared to Ar. The He expansion experiments, furthermore, allow us to delineate the mass transfer of gas across the inherent hierarchy of pore sizes, including macropores (macro- and microcracks), mesopores and micropores. Similar expansion experiments were also performed with Ar to study the combined impact of mass transfer and sorption. A triple-porosity model (TPM) was utilized to interpret the He expansion experiments with the shale core and to extract (estimate) relevant transport parameters. We report and compare here the diffusivities and permeabilities of the whole core for both He and Ar, as calculated from the modeling and fitting of the experimental data. On the premise that the shale cube is representative of the matrix region of the core, the Ar sorption kinetics from the cube experiments were subsequently combined with the transport parameters extracted from the He experiments to predict the behavior of the Ar expansion test with the full-diameter core. An excellent agreement is observed between the model predictions and the experimental data. The experimental observations and their interpretation indicate that one must be cautious when using Ar to estimate the true porosity and permeability of shales. In addition, we demonstrate that He and Ar probe gases, when used in tandem, can be employed effectively as a tool to characterize shales in terms of mass transfer and sorption dynamics across scales.

Exploring competitive metal binding and crystallization of UO 2 2+ and Cu 2+ tetrahydrofuran-2,3,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid complexes

Solvent extractions are used to separate actinide elements from fission products in nuclear waste streams and the successful isolation of specific species utilize subtle differences in metal ligand binding. Metal ligand binding is also important in crystallization of metal organic materials and herein we explore the importance of competitive binding in the tetrahydrofuran-2,3,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid (THFTCA) system. This ligand has been previously evaluated for the selective extraction of uranium from other lanthanides and actinides and in the current research, we evaluate the crystallization of uranyl-THFTCA complexes in the presence of Cu 2+ , Sr 2+ , Th 4+ , and Ce 3+ . Three major phases were formed in the crystallization experiments and characterized with single crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and Raman spectroscopy. Two of the resulting phases were novel (UTHF1 ((C 4 H 10 N 2 )[UO 2 (C 8 H 8 O 9 ) 2 ]∙2H 2 O) and UTHF2 (Na[(UO 2 )(C 8 H 5 O 9 )(H 2 O)]∙ 3.5 H 2 O)), whereas the third (CuTHF1) was previously reported in the literature. Raman spectroscopy was utilized to evaluate spectral changes in the mother liquor of UTHF1, UTHF2, and CuTHF1 over time to assess the crystallization process. Further, isothermal titration calorimetry was used to determine the binding constants for UO 2 2+ and Cu 2+ to the THFTCA ligand in solution and evaluate the role of competitive metal binding in this system. The thermodynamic parameters and the crystallographic data were used to justify the formation of a weaker UO 2 2+ -THFTCA complex. Formation of a weaker UO 2 2+ -THFTCA complex supports our findings that UTHF1 only forms in homomeric systems, but suggests that the crystallization of UTHF2 and CuTHF1 is reliant on the presence of additional counter ions and ligands to change the amount of available THFTCA ligand.

Arsenic stabilization performance of a novel starch-modified Fe-Mn binary oxide colloid

Arsenic (As) is an environmentally hazardous contaminant and can be a serious threat to human health. In China, remediation needs for a large number of As-contaminated sites renders a strong demand for efficient remedial reagents and cost effective approaches. In this study, a novel starch-modified Fe-Mn binary oxide (SFM), an amorphous colloidal material, has been synthesized as a remedial reagent and its As stabilization performance has been evaluated. A set of laboratory batch experiments were carried out by directly adding SFM of different dosages into three contaminated soils. Results demonstrated that SFM could transform As in soil from non-specifically and specifically sorbed fractions to the more stable form bounded to amorphous iron hydrous oxides, thus reducing the As concentration in TCLP leachates by 42.0-93.2%. Results from adsorption tests and microscopic analysis indicated that the interactions between SFM and As are mainly controlled by adsorption, oxidation, and precipitation processes. SFM has abundant surface hydroxyl groups, with excellent adsorption properties for both As(V) and As(III), with the maximum adsorption capacities of 160.63 and 284.64 mg/g respectively at pH 7.0. The adsorption process closely fitted pseudo second-order kinetics and Freundlich isotherm model. SFM could increase soil Eh and oxidize As(III) to As(V), which facilitated the As stabilization in soilColloidal iron-based material directly used for stabilization in As contaminated soils is reported here for the first time. Starch modification improves both the reactivity and mobility of SFM in soil. Our findings propose an efficient and convenient reagent for As remediation in soil.

Calcareous organic matter coatings sequester siderophores in alkaline soils

Although most studies on organic matter stabilization in soils have focused on adsorption to aluminosilicate and iron oxide minerals due to their strong interactions with organic nucleophiles, stabilization within alkaline soils has been empirically correlated with exchangeable Ca concentrations. Yet the extent of competing processes within natural soil remain unclear. We employed sub-micron scale techniques to investigate the minerology and organic carbon on individual fine particles within an alkaline soil from Eastern Washington. XRD, Mössbauer spectroscopy, TEM-EDX-SAED, and XPS analysis demonstrated a mineral assemblage dominated by quartz, feldspars, iron oxides, and calcite. Although exposed Si, Al, and Fe accounted for ~30% of the surface elemental composition, most of the organic carbon and nitrogen was associated with Ca-rich coatings. Adsorption isotherms of two siderophores with the same soil showed greater adsorption of pyoverdine compared with less polar enterobactin. Using NanoSIMS to map the distribution of isotopically labeled siderophores across the surfaces of fine grains, we observed a preference for binding to surfaces heavily coated with organic matter. We propose a mechanism of adsorption by which organic molecules aggregate within calcareous soils via calcium bridging, favoring the stabilization of larger molecules with a greater number of nucleophilic functional groups.

Nucleation and growth of α phase in a metastable β-Titanium Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr alloy: Influence from the nano-scale, ordered-orthorhombic O" phase and α compositional evolution

We investigated the nucleation and growth of α precipitates in the presence of nano-scale, titanium-rich, ordered-orthorhombic O" precipitates formed during heating at 5 °C/min to 400 °C in a metastable β-Ti alloy, Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr. The O" precipitates are found to assist α nucleation by serving as preferential nucleation sites. In the very initial stages of its precipitation, the α phase is found to have formed via a coupled diffusional-displacive mode as titanium-rich plates. At this stage, aluminum partitions equally between the β matrix and the growing α precipitates, but slowly diffuses up-hill into the α phase during isothermal aging at 400 °C for 15 h. The interplay between such pre-formed metastable phases and α can be exploited to tailor the microstructure, by refining the α distribution, and consequently improve the mechanical properties of β-Ti alloys. Finally, our work paves the way for exploiting this cascade of metastable phases for further microstructural engineering of β-Ti alloys.

A boundary-based approach to the multiscale microstructural characterization of a W-Ni-Fe tungsten heavy alloy

Here, a combination electron backscattered diffraction and transmission electron microscopy based approach has been implemented to study the effects of purposefully introduced anisotropy in a tungsten heavy alloy (WHA) through hot-rolling. Particular attention has been paid to changes in number and proportion of various boundary types from a quantitative standpoint; incorporating qualitative behavioral observations from prior analyses to generate experimentally-validated bases for the examination and application of a microstructure which exhibits an optimal balance of strength and ductility. It is asserted that a combination of increased temperatures during rolling and additional isothermal hold time for the post-rolling annealing steps may lead to a reduction in unfavorable textural components due to rolling in the W-phase and a decrease in premature fracture due to W-W microcracking respectively. This is expected to further increase the proportion of interphase boundaries and improve the ductility of these rolled structures, producing a superior rolled WHA microstructure.

A simple model for short-range ordering kinetics in multi-principal element alloys

Short-range ordering (SRO) in multi-principal element alloys influences material properties such as strength and corrosion. While some degree of SRO is expected at equilibrium, predicting the kinetics of its formation is challenging. We present a simplified isothermal concentration-wave (CW) model to estimate an effective relaxation time of SRO formation. Estimates from the CW model agree to within a factor of five with relaxation times obtained from kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulations when above the highest ordering instability temperature. Further, the advantage of the CW model is that it only requires mobility and thermodynamic parameters, which are readily obtained from alloy mobility databases and Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations, respectively. The simple parameterization of the CW model and its analytical nature makes it an attractive tool for the design of processing conditions to promote or suppress SRO in multicomponent alloys.

Computational thermodynamics-guided alloy design and phase stability in CoCrFeMnNi-based medium-and high-entropy alloys: An experimental-theoretical study

A computational thermodynamics approach has been employed to design CoCrFeMnNi-based medium- and high-entropy alloys (M/HEAs) with systematically varied compositions (Co(( 80-X )/ 2 )Cr(( 80-X )/ 2 )Fe X Mn 10 Ni 10 with x = 30, 40, and 50 at.%) and phase stability. Since the formation of sigma phase, usually brittle and undesirable, is a common concern, when this class of alloys is subjected to elevated temperatures (600–1000 °C), predicting its formation becomes essential. Thus, its formation and the phase equilibria were studied using the CALPHAD method, and two empirical methods, namely, valence electron concentration (VEC) and paired sigma-forming element (PSFE). Isothermal aging treatments at 900–1100 °C for 20 h were performed, since CALPHAD and VEC/PSFE predictions diverged. Both prediction methods were compared with experimental characterization by a combination of scanning electron microscopy and high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction. In conclusion, the predictions from the VEC/PSFE and CALPHAD calculations (depending on the database used) were shown to be quite accurate.

High-temperature corrosion of a nickel-based alloy in a molten chloride environment – The effect of thermal and chemical purifications

There is currently an ever-increasing demand for higher process efficiencies in next generation (Gen3) concentrating solar power (CSP). Higher process efficiencies may be procured by increasing the operating temperature, and simultaneously, minimizing the degradation of materials used for construction of CSP plants (e.g., piping, thermal storage tanks, solar receivers and heat exchangers). Thus, understanding materials corrosion in the presence of molten salt mixtures used as thermal energy storage media and heat transfer fluids is indispensable for CSP development. The present paper provides insights into the effects of salt purification on the corrosion of a nickel-based alloy (Haynes 230) isothermally exposed to a stagnant chloride-based salt mixture at 800 °C. The MgCl 2 -based salt mixture was thermally dehydrated and chemically treated with (0.1 and 0.5 wt %) elemental magnesium. Results reveal the electrochemical nature of the corrosion process, and the formation of corrosion products such as oxides (MgO, MgCr 2 O 4 , and MgAl 2 O 4 ) and nitrides (CrN) on the alloy surface and in sub-surface regions. Magnesium additions enhanced the ability to resist corrosion by reducing the concentration of impurities (H 2 O, MgOH + , OH - species) and polarizing the alloy surface. The formation of nitrides in all cases studied indicates the impact of using nitrogen as a protective gas in the system. Results also reveal that a single step treatment of the salt using metallic Mg could be considered as a measure to control the salt's impurity level, e.g., if required for system control.

Type-II superconductivity at 9K in Pb–Bi alloy

In the present work, we report the synthesis of Pb–Bi alloy with enhanced Tc of up to 9K, which is higher than that of Pb. The alloy is synthesized via a solid-state reaction route in the vacuum-encapsulated quartz tube at 700°C in an automated furnace. The synthesized sample is characterized by X-ray Diffraction(XRD) and Energy dispersive X-ray analysis(EDAX) for its phase purity and elemental composition. Rietveld refinement of XRD reveals that the end product is a majority hexagonal Pb 7 Bi 3 , with minor rhombohedral Bi. The electronic transport measurement shows metallic behavior with the Debye temperature of 108K and a superconductivity transition temperature (T c ) below 9K, which is the maximum to date for any reported Pb–Bi alloy, Pb or Bi at ambient pressure. Partial substitution of Bi at the Pb site may modify the free density of electronic states within the BCS model to attain the optimum T c , which is higher by around 2K from the reported T c of Pb. The superconductor phase diagram derived from magneto-transport measurements reveals that the synthesized alloy is a conventional superconductor with an upper critical field (H c2 ) of 3.9 T, which lies well within the Pauli paramagnetic limit. The magnetization measurements carried out following ZFC(Zero Field Cool) protocols infer that the synthesized alloy is a bulk superconductor below 9K. The isothermal M-H(Magnetization vs. Field) measurements performed below T c establish it as a type-II superconductor. Furthermore, the specific heat capacity measurements show that the Pb–Bi alloy is a strongly coupled bulk superconductor below around 9K with possibly two superconducting gaps.

How equation of state selection impacts accuracy near the critical point: Forced convection supercritical CO 2 flow over a cylinder

Increasing application of supercritical fluids leads to increased use of numerical simulations to guide designs. However, the impact of Equations of State (EoS) selection on computational cost and accuracy is not well understood. Laminar flow around a heated cylinder is used as a test case. A robust matrix of 99-simulations is used to analyze the flow of carbon dioxide just above the critical point at the isobaric condition of 8 MPa and temperatures between 305 and 390 K. Four EoS were studied: Ideal Gas Law, cubic EoS’s Peng-Robinson and Soave-Redlich-Kwong, and the Span-Wagner EoS. Results were identical for isothermal cases, but for heated or cooled cases, the high-fidelity Span-Wagner EoS simulations presented drastically different wake structures. Compared to the high-fidelity SW EoS, cEoS’s underestimated Nu values by up to 38% and cEoS’s underestimated CD values by 18–42%. In conclusion, the Span-Wagner EoS required only 17% more computation time then the cubic EoS simulations, making the Span-Wagner EoS recommended for engineering design.

Bridging confined phase behavior of CH 4 -CO 2 binary systems across scales

Phase behavior of confined fluids may deviate significantly from that of the bulk fluid due to the fluid-wall interactions being a significant portion of all intermolecular interactions under confinement. Despite recent advancements in understanding confined phase behavior of pure fluids, confined phase behavior of mixtures remains an understudied topic. In this work, we examine the confined phase behavior of a CH 4 -CO 2 binary system by combining Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, a cubic equation of state (EoS), and the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). First, the effects of confinement on density and phase distribution in nano-size pores are established using Gibbs Ensemble MC calculations, which produce precise results of liquid and vapor confined pressures and account for the modification of the phase change location. By comparing the phase envelopes of bulk and confined mixtures at a fixed temperature, here it is observed that the phase envelopes shrink with reductions in pore size. Based on this observation, we extend a modified Peng-Robinson EoS, which was originally developed for pure fluids under confinement, to mixtures via van-der-Waals-type mixing rules and by accounting for shifts in the critical properties of confined CH 4 -CO 2 . The resulting phase envelopes are in good agreement with the MC data. In addition, a local density model is used in combination with the confined EoS to calculate adsorption isotherms of CH 4 -CO 2 mixtures and to characterize the behavior of confined matter in nanopores. Finally, we incorporate this EoS in a multicomponent multiphase LBM that uses a pseudopotential model to represent intermolecular forces. This workflow utilizes multiscale simulation techniques to bridge the behavior of multicomponent systems across scales and to shed light on the confined phase behavior of CH 4 -CO 2 binary systems.

Hydrodynamic behavior of wrapped coil water heater tank

In this work, a numerical investigation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been carried out to analyze the thermal behavior of a water tank integrated to a heat pump water heating system (HPWH). The heat pump condenser is a long coil wrapped around the water tank and insulated from outside from which heat is transferred from the heat pump cycle into the water stored inside the tank. The simulated water tank has a capacity of about 170 L with the charging inlet located at the bottom segment of the tank and the discharging outlet located at the top segment of the tank like commercially available water heaters. The tank was simulated during charging/discharging process with isothermal boundary condition at the tank wall to represent the majority of the process for refrigerant condensation inside the heat pump condenser (excluding superheated and sub-cooled section). Three flow rates were selected to represent low, medium and high flow pattern. Both mean and turbulent flow properties were calculated and analyzed. Heat transfer mechanisms inside the tank are quantified by calculating Richardson and Péclet numbers to show the relative contribution of driving forces. The calculations show that advection is dominant over diffusion. Mixing factor is calculated and presented. It is found that the rate of increase of mixing is nonlinear with the increase in flow rate. Mixing increased by a factor of four when the flow rate increased by a factor of two.

CO 2 capture from wet flue gas using a water-stable and cost-effective metal-organic framework

We report the use of MIL-120 as a water-stable and cost-effective metal-organic framework (MOF) for selectively capturing CO 2 from wet flue gas. Synthesized using inexpensive and environmentally benign reagents in water, MIL-120 possesses one-dimensional pores decorated with hydroxyl-bridged Al(III) ions and benzene rings with an interstitial spacing of 4.78 Å. Carbon dioxide isotherms show steep uptake at low pressure, and the affinity of MIL-120 for CO 2 is 44 kJ mol –1 . CO 2 -loading 13 C solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared spectra tracking the sorption of CO 2 into MIL-120 revealed that the interplay of pore size, functionality, and dimensionality is vital for CO 2 restriction within the pores of MIL-120. Breakthrough experiments reveal that MIL-120 can capture CO 2 from dry and wet flue gas with uptake capacities of 1.215 and 1.118 mmol g –1 , respectively. Our work highlights the synthetic benefits of MIL-120 and elucidates its selective capture of CO 2 from wet flue gas.
