Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this work, the objective was to investigate rheological characteristics and CO2 separation behavior in tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) semi-clathrate hydrate (SCH) slurries with dispersants. The solid fraction of the SCH slurries increased through CO2 absorption by using a method based on electrical conductivity. Dispersibility of SCH slurries with 0.86 wt% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) (mean degree of polymerization of 2000) was the highest among the PVA concentrations examined. CO2 absorption rate in SCH slurries with 0.86 wt% PVA was lower than that in SCH slurry without PVA. However, CO2 absorption amount in SCH slurries with 0.86 wt% PVA was higher than that in SCH slurry without PVA due to keeping the dispersed state of SCH slurry through CO2 absorption. In a bubble column reactor, it is important that the contact time is increased by reducing the bubbles to improve gas separation factor.
