Abstract

A liquid-liquid-solid jet reactor has been developed to convert liquid CO2 and seawater into solid hydrate at intermediate ocean depths. The goal was to identify the hydrodynamic and thermodynamic conditions at which negatively buoyant, consolidated CO2 hydrate particles are generated. This effort will be useful in developing the technology for CO2 ocean carbon sequestration. Formation of CO2 hydrate was also investigated using a coflow reactor in a high-pressure vessel. Scaleup issues of the hydrate reactor were then examined. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2006 AIChE Annual Meeting (San Francisco, CA 11/12-17/2006).
