Abstract
$CO_{2}$ ocean sequestration is one of the promising options to reduce $CO_{2}$ concentration in the atmosphere because the ocean has vast capacity for $CO_{2}$ absorption. Therefore, in the present investigation, calculations for solubility and dissolution behavior of liquid $CO_{2}$ droplets released at 1000 m and 1500 m deep in the ocean from a moving ship and a fixed pipeline have been carried out in order to estimate the $CO_{2}$ dissolution characteristics in the ocean. The results show liquid $CO_{2}$ becomes bubble at around 500 m in depth, and the solubility of seawater is about $5{\%}$ less than of pure water. Also, it is shown that the injection of liquid from a moving ship is a more effective method for dissolution than from a fixed pipeline, and the presence of hydrate on liquid $CO_{2}$ acts as a resistant layer in dissolving liquid $CO_{2}$.
