Abstract

Carbon dioxide ocean disposal is one of the promising options to reduce carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. So, in the present study, calculations of the solubility, the surface concentration and the dissolution behavior of carbon dioxide when liquid carbon dioxide is released at 1,000m and 1,500m in depth are performed. The results show that liquid carbon dioxide changes to carbon dioxide bubbles around 500m in depth, and the hydrate acts as a resistant layer for the dissolution of liquid carbon dioxide. Also. the injection of liquid carbon dioxide from a moving ship is more effective than that from a fixed pipeline.

이산화탄소를 해양에 대량으로 처리하는 기술이 지구온난화현상을 완화시키는 기술의 하나로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이산화탄소를 해수에 용해시키기 위해서 중층심해 1,000m와 1,500m 깊이에 분사된 액체 이산화탄소의 용해거동을 계산한 결과, 해저 약 500m 깊이에서 이산화탄소는 액체에서 기체로 상변화를 일으키며, 이산화탄소와 해수의 접촉면에 생성되는 하이드레이트는 용해에 장애물로 작용하였다. 또한 움직이는 배에서 이산화탄소를 분사하는 방법이 고정파이프라인에서 분사하는 방법보다 용해에 더 효과적이었다.
