CO2 Sequestration
• Storing or permanently immobilizing CO2in some form to remove it from the atmosphere or prevent it from entering the atmosphere
• General schemes include– Capture and store
• In geologic formations• In the deep ocean
– Converting to Biomass (terrestrial or oceanic e.g. IRONEX program for ocean fertilization)

• Conservation and efficiency improvements• Substitute high carbon fuels (i.e. coal) with
low carbon fuels (i.e. natural gas)• Renewable energies

How it Works
![Page 12: Ocean & Geologic Sequestration of CO2 with Particle ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012017/615b57c793a7b8094e7b8ccb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ways of capturing CO2 before it is released to the atmosphere:
• Chemical absorption• Physical adsorption• Coal gasification with physical adsorption• Oxyfuel combustion
CO2 Capture Technologies

Overview of CO2 Capture Schemes

Ways of capturing CO2 before it is released to the atmosphere:
• Chemical absorption• Physical adsorption• Coal gasification with physical adsorption• Oxyfuel combustion
CO2 Capture Technologies
3C (i.e., coal) + O2 + H2O → H2 + 3CO
CO + H2O → CO2 + H2
2 H2 + O2 → 2 H2O(g) + heatCH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O + energy

Problems with Scenarios for Ocean Sequestration of CO2
• High Costs - exclusive of capture• Proximity of Sources to Ocean• Ecological Effects
– Physical Impact of Immiscible Liquid– Chemical Impacts
• pH• Carbonate hot spots
• Long Term Uncertainty– Chemical Effects– Lake Nyos Syndrome
• London Convention 1972

Our Discovery
In 2001 we discovered how to make emulsions of liquid CO2 and water stabilized by fine particles
![Page 20: Ocean & Geologic Sequestration of CO2 with Particle ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012017/615b57c793a7b8094e7b8ccb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Some simple chemistry
• Immiscible liquids form two layers with an interfacial tension or force between them
Oil or Organic liquid layer
Water or Aqueous layer
Interfaceor
Meniscus
![Page 21: Ocean & Geologic Sequestration of CO2 with Particle ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012017/615b57c793a7b8094e7b8ccb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Applying shear force or mixing creates a dispersion
Droplets of a dispersion quickly coalesce to larger& larger drops resulting in two layers once again
![Page 22: Ocean & Geologic Sequestration of CO2 with Particle ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012017/615b57c793a7b8094e7b8ccb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Emulsions
• When an emulsifying agent is addedto a two phase system, interfacial tensionis greatly reduced allowing formationof stable dispersions or emulsions
• Emulsions can beeither macroemulsionsor microemulsionsdepending on droplet size
![Page 23: Ocean & Geologic Sequestration of CO2 with Particle ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012017/615b57c793a7b8094e7b8ccb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Particle Stabilized Emulsions(also called Pickering Emulsions)• Very fine particles can act as emulsifying agents,
though more common emulsifiers are surfactantslike soaps and detergents
• Emulsifying agents work by arranging themselves at the interface between liquids

Particle Stabilized Emulsions
Immiscible liquids form an emulsion with fine particlesSystem: dodecane (top), water, calcite and iodine for color
![Page 25: Ocean & Geologic Sequestration of CO2 with Particle ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012017/615b57c793a7b8094e7b8ccb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Particle Stabilized Emulsions
• Hydrophilic particles form oil-in-water emulsions:– Calcite (CaCO3)– Pulverized sand (SiO2) – Lizardite & other minerals
• Hydrophobic particles form water-in-oil emulsions:– Carbon black– Pulverized coal– Teflon particles
