In this paper, the solubility of carbon dioxide (CO$_{2}$) in water along the isobar of 400 bar is determined by computer simulations using the well-known TIP4P/Ice force field for water and TraPPE model for CO$_{2}$. In particular, the…

A moisture-driven air capture (DAC) system was designed and demonstrated. A laboratory-scale system delivering ~1 g CO2 per day was demonstrated in a laminar flow hood and a small pilot-scale system that could deliver ~100 g CO2 daily was…

The SECARB offshore partnership project seeks to screen deep saline aquifers and hydrocarbon reservoirs in the central Gulf of Mexico (GOM) for CO2 sequestration and CO2-driven enhanced oil and gas recovery and estimate the corresponding…

Film flow through networks of corners and capillary bridges can establish connections between seemingly isolated clusters during drainage in porous media. Coupled with drainage through the bulk of pores and throats, the flow through these…

The solubility of CO2 in formation brines plays a critical role in the efficiency of carbon capture and storage (CCS) operations. It is strongly influenced by pressure, temperature, and brine composition. Various experimental studies and…
