摘要

The replacement of CH4 with CO2 in marine hydrates has garnered widespread attention due to its potential for energy recovery and CO2 sequestration. In this study, CH4 hydrates and replacement process and outcomes with CO2 were investigated using optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and Raman spectroscopy. Optical microscopy experiments showed that CH4 hydrate formed a solid spherical hydrate film with a thickness of 5–10 μm on the surface of silica gel (SG), which arose from volume expansion associated with the water-to-hydrate phase transition. DSC experiments showed that CO2 hydrate formation occurred during pure CH4 decomposition, thereby reducing required CO2 partial pressure. Finally, replacement ceased when the partial pressure of CO2 below the partial pressure of CO2 of the equilibrium pressure of the CH4-CO2 mixed gas hydrate. Pure CH4 hydrate decomposition simultaneously achieved higher CH4 recovery (87.9 mol%), CH4 purity (84.7 mol%), and final system pressure (3.8 MPa). Due to CH4 hydrate decomposed during replacement procedure (DSC results), the particle size (25–635 μm) minimally affected the replacement rate and efficiency, indicating that the replacement reaction was governed by reaction kinetics in SG. Raman analysis revealed consistent replacement efficiency across hydrate particle depths (0–60 μm).
