CHARACTERISTICS OF ISOTOPE COMPOSITION OF GASIFORM HYDROCARBON AND IDENTIFICATION OF COAL-TYPE GAS

The natural gas which forms in the course of the formation of coal in the coal-series stra-ta is called the coal-type gas. It is an important genetic type of combustible gas. This papertakes the isotope composition of carbon and hydrogen as a key factor to make an approachto the identification of the coal-type gas and the oil-type gas. According to the isotope com-position of methane carbon and hydrogen, we have divided the natural gases in differentplaces into biogas, coal gas, oil-type gas and coal-type gas. There is a mixed gas area bet-ween the coal-type gas and the oil-type gas. The conditions for the formation of the areaare comparatively complex. The overmature oil-type gas overlies the coal-type gas in distri-bution. According to our studies on oil-gas areas in the Sichuan basin and Eerdos basin,we come to know that the coal-type gas in these basins has an isotope composition of highercarbon. Its mathematic expression of δ~(13)C_1-R_0 is δ~(13)C_1‰ = 8.641 lgR_0-32. 8, representing a mod-el o     

NONHYDROCARBON AND NOBLE GAS GEOCHEMISTRY IN NATURAL GAS OF EASTERN CHINA

The isotopic composition of 15 natural gas samples, which were collected from northern Jiangsu Province, south Songliao, Sanshui County of Guangdong Province, have been analysed in terms of δ~(13)C of CO_2 and CH_4, δD of CH_4, δ~(15)N of N_2, ~3He/~4He, ~(40)Ar/~(36)Ar and R/R_A. Based on the isotopic and chemical composition of the natural gas and the geological background of these areas, such aspects as the genesis of nonhydrocarbon gas, geochemical characteristics of noble gases by contrast with the data of Sichuan Province~([1]), the Xinjiang Autonomous Region and the Yaojie Coal Mine of Gansu Province are discussed. It is pointed out that hydrocarbon and nonhydrocarbon gases reservoired in the same stratum may be of different genesis and that the helium of He-rich gas pool of Huangqiao, northern Jiangsu is closely related to the mantle, and is of the mantle degasification. It is an example of commerical gas pool that helium was accumulated in sedimentary beds. The He and CO_2 of Wanjinta at the     

An accurate empirical correlation for predicting natural gas compressibility factors

The compressibility factor of natural gas is an important parameter in many gas and petroleum engineering calculations. This study presents a new empirical model for quick calculation of natural gas compressibility factors. The model was derived from 5844 experimental data of compressibility factors for a range of pseudo reduced pressures from 0.01 to 15 and pseudo reduced temperatures from 1 to 3. The accuracy of the new empirical correlation has been compared with commonly used existing methods. The comparison indicates the superiority of the new empirical model over the other methods used to calculate compressibility factor of natural gas with average absolute relative deviation percent (AARD%) of 0.6535.     

Comparison of three methods for natural gas dehydration

This paper compares three methods for natural gas dehydration that are widely applied in industry:(1) absorption by triethylene glycol, (2) adsorption on solid desiccants and (3) condensation. A comparison is made according to their energy demand and suitability for use. The energy calculations are performed on a model where 105 Nm3/h water saturated natural gas is processed at 30 °C. The pressure of the gas varies from 7 to 20 MPa. The required outlet concentration of water in natural gas is equivalent to the dew point temperature of -10 °C at gas pressure of 4 MPa.     

GAS SORPTION AND TRANSPORT IN POLY (PHENYLENE OXIDE)(PPO)AND ARYL-BROMINATED PPO MEMBRANES

The apparent solubility (S), concentration-average diffusivity (D), and permeability (P), for C0_2, CH_4 and N_2 through PPO and aryl-brominated PPO at 35℃for pressure ranging from 1 to 26 atm are reported. It is found that P, D, and S of the membranes to all the three gases vary with the extent of bromination. S increases with the increase of the percent of bromine in each case, but D to CO_2 increases remarkably only at higher degree of brominafion, and therefore, P to CO_2 is increased by more than 100% over a wide range ofpressure in the case. The solubility data are well described by the dual mode sorption model. It is found that the gas molecules sorbed by the Langmuir mode are relatively more immobilized and the contribution of the nonequilibrinm character of the polymer to gas permeation increases obviously for CO_2 and is hardly changed for CH_4 with increasing bromine content. These observations are interpreted in terms of changes in specific free volume (SFV)and the cohesive energy density (CED) of the polymers.     

An accurate empirical correlation for predicting natural gas viscosity

Natural gas viscosity is an important parameter in many gas and petroleum engineering calculations.This study presents a new empirical model for quickly calculating the natural gas viscosity.The model was derived from 4089 experimental viscosity data with varieties ranging from 0.01 to 21,and 1 to 3 of pseudo reduced pressure and temperature,respectively.The accuracy of this new empirical correlation has been compared with commonly used empirical models,including Lee et al.,Heidaryan et al.,Carr et al.,and Adel Elsharkawy correlations.The comparison indicates that this new empirical model can predict viscosity of natural gas with average absolute relative deviation percentage AARD (%) of 2.173.     

Initial estimation of hydrate formation temperature of sweet natural gases based on new empirical correlation

Production,processing and transportation of natural gases can be significantly affected by clathrate hydrates.Knowing the gas analysis is crucial to predict the right conditions for hydrate formation.Nevertheless,Katz gas gravity method can be used for initial estimation of hydrate formation temperature (HFT) under the circumstances of indeterminate gas composition.So far several correlations have been proposed for gas gravity method,in which the most accurate and reliable one has belonged to Bahadori and Vuthaluru.The main objective of this study is to present a simple and yet accurate correlation for fast prediction of sweet natural gases HFT based on the fit to Katz gravity chart.By reviewing the error analysis results,one can discover that the new proposed correlation has the best estimation capability among the widely accepted existing correlations within the investigated range.     

Experimental determination and prediction of the compressibility factor of high CO_2 content natural gas with and without water vapor

In order to study the effect of different CO2 contents on gas compressibility factor(Z-factor),the JEFRI-PVT apparatus has been used to measure the Z-factor of dry natural gas with CO2 content range from 10.74 to 70.42 mol%at the temperature range from 301.2 to 407.3 K and pressure range from 7 to 44 MPa.The results show that Z-factor decreases with increasing CO2 content in natural gas at constant temperature and increases with increasing temperature for natural gas with the same CO2 content.In addition,the Z-factor of water-saturated natural gas with high CO2 content has been measured.A comparison of the Z-factor between natural gas with and without saturated water vapor indicates that the former shows a higher Z-factor than the latter.Furthermore,Peng-Robinson,Hall-Yarborough,and Soave-Benedict-Webb- Rubin equations of state(EoS)are used for the calculation of Z-factor of high CO2 content natural gas with and without water vapor.The optimal binary interaction parameters(BIP)for PR EoS are presented.The measured Z-factor is compared with the calculated Z-factor based on three models,which shows that PR EoS combined with van der Waals mixing rule for gas without water and Huron-Vidal mixing rule for water-saturated gas,are in good agreement with the experimental data.     

Synthesis,Structure and Photochromism of a New Diarylethene and Its Ag(Ⅰ) Complex

A new symmetric diarylethene containing cyano group was synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis,IR,1 H NMR and X-ray single-crystal diffraction.It belongs to the monoclinic system,space group C2/c with a = 18.848(6),b = 8.561(2),c = 16.875(5) ?,β = 100.398(6)o,V = 1344.6(11) ?~3,Z = 4,μ = 0.262 mm~(-1),Dc = 1.415 g/cm~3,M_r = 570.56,F(000) = 1160,the final R = 0.0808 and wR = 0.2107 with I 2σ(I).The two thienyls adopt reactive anti-parallel conformation and the carbon distance of photocyclization is 3.57 ?.The neighboring molecules are stacked closely with C–H…F hydrogen bonding.In addition,the photochromism of the new compound was investigated in solvents with different polarity and PMMA film.The alternative photo-irradiation of 254 nm light and ≥550 visible light can induce the reversible photo-cyclization and photo-reversion with the color interconversion between colorlessness and blue.In THF solution,the λ_(max) of diarylethene in PSS in visible band is 585 nm.The diarylethene further reacted with AgBF_4 in benzene to give rise to complex 1,which was structurally characterized by elemental analysis,IR,ESI-MS and TG.1 demonstrated reversible photochromism in both solution and PMMA film.The complexation of metal ions with diarylethene leads to a minor red-shift of the λ_(max) of 1 in THF in PSS to 590 nm.

A New Model for the Genesis of Natural Gases——Multi-source Overlap, Multi-stage Continuity, TypeControlled by Main Source and Nomenclature by Main Stage (Ⅱ)——Multi-stage Continuity and Nomenclature by Main Stage

The generation of natural gases involves several stages and the various stages are of continuous transition. This is another feature of natural gas generation. The term "multi-stage" is relative mainly to oil-generating threshold value and liquid window. The evolution of organic matter is affected by different epigene agencies and natural gases differing in geochemical properties such as biogenic gas (bacterial gas), thermocatalytic gas and pyrolytic gas could be produced at different stages of the evolution of organic matter. The proposal of bio-thermocatalytic transitional-zone gas presents a pattern of mutual linking and continuous transition of natural gases originated at different stages.In the genetic classification of natural gases, the nomenclature of a certain gas is based mainly on the epigene agency which is responsible for its formation, for example, biogenic gas, pyrolytic gas. That is the "nomenclature by the main stage" described in this study. On account of the continuity of gas generati     

ORGANIC GEOCHEMISTRY OF ARTIFICIALLY HEATED SPHAGNUM COAL CONSIDERED AS POSSIBLE SOURCE ROCK FOR OIL AND GAS

A preliminary study of simulated thermal maturity has been conducted to evaluate the oil, gas and hydrocarbon generation potential of sphagnum coal in the Jinsuo brown coal basin, Yunnan Province and to understand the characteristics of the element composition and biomarkers in the course of thermal alteration. The experimental result was compared with that of xylitic coal, a kind of lithotype of soft brown coal. It is considered that sphagnum coal possesses the potential of forming economic accumulation of oil and gas. Its highest proportion of oil and hydrocarbon generation is 510 mg/g Corg. and 232.1 mg/g Corg. respectively. At an R_(ran)~° value of 2.51%, the ratio of gas generation from sphagnum coal attains to 620.5 ml/g Corg. In view of sphagnum coal being different from the conventional soft brown coal in various respects such as coal forming raw materials and enviroments as well as physico-chemical properties, it is Suggested as a special kind of source rock for coal-generated oil and gas.     

Direct and selective methanation of biomass via oxygenvacancy‐mediated catalysis

正Producing biofuels from renewable biomass resources is considered to be an effective way to reduce carbon emissions and is helpful for establishing sustainable society [1]. Bio‐methane (CH4) is a promising and available clean energy in the future owing to its properties such as high calorific values, low carbon emissions and full miscibility and interchangeability with natural gas or shale gas. Therefore, the production of me‐thane directly from waste biomass resources like straw is highly attractive. However, because of the robustness and vari‐ety of C–C bonds and C–O bonds existing in biomass molecules,it is very difficult to achieve high‐selective methanation of bio‐     

ISOTOPIC GEOCHEMISTRY OF FOSSIL FUELS IN CHINA

The authors have summarized the results of their study on the isotopic composition ofChina's fossil fuels for the past 20 years. Comparatively speaking, the main frequency of thedistribution of the δ~(13)C value for coal is from -25.5 to -23.5%. The effects of thermalevolution might be neglected, however, it is obvious that the coal macerals have an effecton the δ~(13)C value. The δ~(13)C of whole coal becomes lighter with the exinite content increasing.Our studies of thermoanalogue products from coal measures show that gaseous hydrocarbonhas the lightest δ~(13)C value at the peak value which produces liquid hydrocarbon. It is similarto the δ~(13)C of coal samples. The alkane in group fraction changes more significantly with theincrease of temperature. The type of biothermocatalytic transitional zone gas might be dividedaccording to the δ~(13)C and δD research of natural gas. The δD of methane becomes heavier withthe increase of water-medium salinity. The isotopic research on light hydrocarbon m
