Area of Science:

  • Oceanography
  • Geochemistry
  • Chemical Engineering

Background:

  • Carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrate formation is crucial for understanding carbon cycling in marine environments.
  • Previous laboratory studies simulated CO2 hydrate formation, but field validation in ocean conditions is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the formation and dissolution of CO2/seawater/CO2 hydrate composite particles under deep-sea conditions.
  • To assess the behavior and dissolution rates of these particles in situ.

Main Methods:

  • Field experiments were conducted in Monterey Bay using a specialized CO2 injector system.
  • CO2 hydrate composite particles were formed at depths of 1100-1300 m and tracked using a remotely operated vehicle.
  • Laboratory experiments in a high-pressure vessel simulated ocean conditions for comparison.

Main Results:

  • Composite particles of CO2 hydrate, liquid CO2, and seawater were successfully produced and observed.
  • Particle velocity and volume histories were monitored to calculate CO2 conversion and dissolution rates.
  • Dissolution rates of composite particles were higher than pure CO2 droplets, but minimally different when corrected for CO2 content.
  • Higher CO2 conversion to hydrate is needed for negatively buoyant particles in seawater compared to freshwater.

Conclusions:

  • Field experiments validate laboratory findings on CO2 hydrate composite particle formation and behavior.
  • The dissolution characteristics of CO2 hydrate particles in the ocean have implications for carbon sequestration strategies.
  • Seawater properties, such as increased density and brine rejection, influence hydrate formation and particle buoyancy.
