© Canadian International Petroleum Conference 2004, CIPC 2004.All Rights Reserved.A modeling of CO2 sequestration in aquifers from an analytical point of view was studied. The driving force behind this work is based on a description of a model that analyzes the mechanisms of supercritical CO2 disposal in aquifers. The CO2 presence was analyzed from two different aspects, as gas bubble formation and as dissolution in brine. In our model, for the determination of the pressure distribution in the gas bubble, a constant injection rate was taken into consideration. With the formation of the gas bubble, the gravitational effects cause the CO2 to raise and accumulate under the caprock. For this accumulation process a maximum bubble thickness was determined to avoid leakage through the fractures in the caprock. For the CO2 that is in the dissolved phase in the aquifer, the salinity calculations were taken into consideration. One effect of salinity was that it causes an increase in brine viscosity resulting in a decrease in sweep efficiency.

Methodology for the Study of Solar Energy Effects to CO2 Balance in Tobacco Industry and Tobacco Plants
Yılmaz, Elanur (2009-01-01)
This work is the first part of a global study about the CO2 mass balance in a tobacco industry, including the CO2 sequestration in the tobacco plants,CO2 sequestration in an eucalyptus forest, solar irradiation, and the approach methodology to obtain the CO2 emission of the process in the industry. The aim of this work is to identify the variations in the CO2 sequestration through the growing of tobacco plants in Chile and consequently in many parts of the world. It is necessary to correlate the on-site mea...
Analyses on the Causality in Carbon Emission with respect to Economic Growth and Education
ÜNLÜ, KAMİL DEMİRBERK; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2017-01-01)
This paper investigates the association between the level of carbon emission (CO2), economic growth and scholarly education levels in the countries chosen according to some specific characteristics using multivariate time series approach. It considers the impact of GDP and education enrollment, as a proxy of human capital, on the level of CO2 for the countries classified according to their economic developments and regional distribution. The analyses are assessed in three different cases two of which consid...
Analytical and Numerical Modeling of CO2 Sequestration in Deep Saline Aquifers
Ozgur, E.; Gumrah, F. (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01)
The analytical and numerical modeling of CO2 sequestration in deep saline aquifers having different rock and fluid properties was studied under diffusion and convection mechanisms. In a diffusion dominated system, an aquifer with 100 m thickness was saturated with CO2 after 10,000,000 years. It was much earlier in a convective dominant system. In the diffusion process, the dissolution of CO2 in aquifer increased with porosity increase; however, in a convection dominant process dissolution of CO2 in aquifer ...
Comparison of Fenitrothion and Trifluralin Adsorption on Organo-Zeolites and Activated Carbon. Part II: Thermodynamic Parameters and the Suitability of the Kinetic Models of Pesticide Adsorption
LÜLE ŞENÖZ, Güzide Meltem; Atalay, Mustafa Ümit (Informa UK Limited, 2014-07-04)
The suitability of two kinetic models and the thermodynamic parameters of pesticide adsorption were investigated based on obtained data of previous studies. Kinetic evaluation indicated that the pesticides adsorption on adsorbents followed the pseudo-second-order model. Gibbs free energy (Delta G degrees), enthalpy (Delta H degrees), and entropy (Delta S degrees) were calculated for thermodynamic parameters by using linearized Arrhenius equation. The results indicated that the sorption process of fenitrothi...
