Prediction of methanol loss in liquid hydrocarbon phase during natural gas hydrate inhibition using rigorous models

Methanol is the most widely used natural gas hydrate inhibitor and it is only effective as a hydrate inhibitor in the aqueous phase. Methanol is not regenerated in natural gas inhibition process due to its intermittent application in most cases. However, a significant cost is associated with the process because of methanol loss while utilizing this inhibitor. In this work, several intelligent models along with a new mathematical correlation are presented in terms of methanol concentration in aqueous phase and temperature to precisely forecast the methanol loss in the saturated hydrocarbons phase. An excellent match was noticed between the calculated results and literature data.

Efficiency characterization of fire extinguishing compound superfine powder containing Mg(OH)2

To improve the fire extinguishing efficiency of existing dry powders, a new type of superfine dry powder was prepared using magnesium hydroxide as an additive. In our study, a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to analyze the thermal decomposition of the synthesized powders. The temperature of thermal decomposition, weight loss, and other thermodynamic parameters of the fire extinguishing powders were analyzed to explain the performance advantages of the compound superfine powder. Through a small-scale fire experiment, the physical parameters of the extinguishing process—such as extinguish time, powder dosage, smoke concentration, and minimum extinguishing concentration—were quantified for the suppression of a diesel fire using the different powders; these parameters were used to evaluate the fire extinguishing capacity and toxic gas suppression ability of the powders. TGA demonstrated that the compound superfine powder decomposed more quickly and its thermal decomposition process was much shorter than those of the other powders. The DSC data indicated that the compound superfine powder could decrease the characteristic temperature at each stage and thus the powder absorbed the flame's heat more quickly and suppressed flame propagation. The fire extinguishing test demonstrated that the consumption of the three types of fire extinguishing powder decreased with an increase in the driving pressure, and the order of powder dosage was as follows: commercial dry powder > superfine powder > compound superfine powder. Similarly, the order of minimum extinguishing concentration was as follows: commercial dry powder > superfine powder > compound superfine powder. Furthermore, the compound superfine powder exhibited a greater capacity for controlling toxic and harmful gas emissions.     

New tools predict monoethylene glycol injection rate for natural gas hydrate inhibition

In the oil and gas production operations, hydrates deposition leads to serious problems including over pressuring, irreparable damages to production equipment, pipeline blockage, and finally resulting in production facilities shut down and even human life and the environment dangers. Hence, it is of great importance to forecast the hydrate formation conditions in order to overcome problems associated with deposition of hydrate. In this article, an effective, mathematical and predictive strategy, known as the least squares support vector machine, is employed to determine the hydrate forming conditions of sweet natural gases as well as the monoethylene glycol (MEG) flow-rate and desired depression of the gas hydrate formation temperature (DHFT). The outcome of this study reveals that the developed technique offers high predictive potential in precise estimation of this important characteristic in the gas industry. Beside the accuracy and reliability, the proposed model includes lower number of coefficients in contrast with conventional correlations/methods, implying an interesting feature to be added to the modeling simulation software packages in gas engineering.

改性硅酸钙(CSH)对重金属废水中Ni2+的吸附特性研究

以硅灰石和氧化钙为原料制备改性硅酸钙(CSH),为了探讨改性硅酸钙对Ni~(2+)的吸附特性和机理,考察了初始p H值、吸附剂投加量、初始Ni~(2+)质量浓度和硅酸钙使用次数等因素对模拟废水中Ni~(2+)去除率的影响。结果表明,p H值在3.0~6.0、吸附剂投加量为1g/L、含Ni~(2+)废水质量浓度小于200 mg/L、硅酸钙前两次使用时,CSH对Ni~(2+)均有较高的去除效果。采用Langmuir等温吸附模型拟合CSH对Ni~(2+)的吸附,得到CSH对Ni~(2+)的最大吸附量为417 mg/g。结合吸附前后的扫描电镜-能谱(SEM-EDS)和X射线衍射(XRD)图谱分析,推测出CSH的主要结构为Ca Si2O5,CSH对Ni~(2+)的吸附主要发生在CSH表面并且是通过离子交换作用进行的。通过对CSH吸附去除Ni~(2+)过程中溶液离子浓度变化的研究推断出97%的Ni~(2+)通过离子交换作用被去除,剩余的Ni~(2+)通过表面络合作用去除。
