Abstract
A microreactor has been developed for in situ, high-energy x-ray diffraction investigations of reaction process between carbon dioxide, brines and rocks. Our design is an evolution of a previous existing reaction cell developed by Diefenbacher et al [1]. | Several changes and improvements have been made to the new cell design: (i) the reactor chamber will be accessible through two points, whereby any combination of gases, liquids or fluids can be injected and investigated,(ii) the CO2 flow and pressure will be controlled through a supercritical fluid pump which allows the cell to operate under a well-controlled pressure and flow conditions, and (iii) sintered polycrystalline diamond will be initially employed as X-ray transparent window material. The microreactor should allow investigation of reactions in the rock-brine-CO2 system in the pressure-temperature range of 400 bar and 600° C. The new microreactor system will increase our capabilities to perform in situ investigations of the reaction processes in between rock-brine and CO2, relevant for potential carbon storage applications in geological formations. | 45 pages
