Abstract

Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and much research is underperforming in reducing carbon dioxide. Geological carbon dioxide storage is considered the primary technique for global warming prevention. So, technic development for storing carbon dioxide is required. Using surfactant is considered an effective material for geological carbon dioxide storage. However, research on using surfactants for carbon dioxide sequestration is not enough. In this study, a 2D micromodel experiment depends on the surfactant type (sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate), concentration and carbon dioxide injection rate. As result, geological carbon dioxide sequestration efficiency is increased according to surfactant concentration and carbon dioxide injection rate increase. However, efficiency no more increases after critical concentration and rate.

대기 중 온난화 가스의 하나인 이산화탄소 감소를 위해 많은 연구들이 수행 중이다. 이 중 이산화탄소 지중저장은 지구온난화 방지를 위한 중요한 공법 중 하나로 주목받고 있다. 하지만, 제한된 공간의 최대한 많은 양의 이산화탄소 저장을 위한 기술의 개발이 필요한 실정이다. 계면활성제의 활용은 이산화탄소 지중저장 효율의 향상에 기여할 것으로 여겨지고 있으나, 이에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이산화탄소 지중저장 효율 증진을 위해 계면활성제 종류(sodium dodecyl sulfate 및 sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate) 및 농도, 이산화탄소 주입속도에 따른 2차원 마이크로모델 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 계면활성제의 농도 및 이산화탄소 주입속도가 증가할수록, 이산화탄소 지중저장 효율이 증가함을 확인하였다. 하지만, 한계 농도 및 속도 이상에서는 더 이상 효율 증진이 발생하지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
