CCS technology - Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage, has been recognized as an excellent technology to reach the target of CO2 reduction. However, the safety issue and cost effectiveness currently hinder the future of CCS. Recent studies have shown that even at a very low concentration of impurities (less than 100 ppmV of SO2, NO2, O2 and H2O) the droplet formation and condensation of sulfuric and nitric acids in dense phase CO2 are possible and observable [1-3].To reveal the mechanism of droplet corrosion in dense CO2 at high pressure and low temperature, further studies on factors that affect wettability and resulting corrosion behaviors of transport pipeline steels are needed.
In this work, carbon steel 1.8977 (L485MB), CrMo-alloyed steel 1.7225 (42CrMo4), martensitic steel 1.4313, and superaustenite steel 1.4562 (alloy 31) were investigated. The wettability was determined by contact angle measurement of sessile drop in CO2 atmosphere, at different pressure and temperature. The corrosion behavior of steels was investigated with standard exposure tests, followed by mass loss determination, surface characterization by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and chemical analysis by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX). Exposure tests with and without the synthetic CO2 saturated water droplets were performed at both low temperature (278 K) and higher temperatures (288 K and 313 K) at high pressure where CO2 is supercritical or in dense phase. The investigated flue gases were SO2 (70-220 ppmV) and O2 (6700 ppmV) and water (50-200 ppmV). To reveal the effects of surface morphology, carbon steel coupons with different surface roughness were prepared to expose to CO2 stream containing oxidizing/reducing impurities to observe the condensation and the corrosion process that followed.
In this work, the focus was set on the corrosion process of condensate as drops on the surface of carbon steels (X52, X70), martensitic steel UNS S41500, and superaustenite UNS 08031 in CO2 atmosphere with impurities at 278 K (to simulate the transportation condition in a buried pipeline). Exposure tests were performed at both normal pressure and high pressure where CO2 is supercritical or in dense phase. The drop, 1 ‑ 10 µL in volume, was prepared by dropping CO2 saturated ultra-pure water onto the surface of steel coupons in a one-liter-autoclave. The CO2 gas stream, simulating the oxyfuel flue gas with varying concentration of impurities (SO2 and O2), was then pumped into the autoclave to observe the condensation and corrosion impacts of impurities. Comparable exposure tests were carried out with the same gas mixture and the same volume of water as vapor to observe the drop formation and the corrosion process that follows. The wettability and stability of drops on the surface of steel coupons in CO2 supercritical/dense phase environment was evaluated additionally by contact angle measurement.
This work examined the droplet corrosion of CO2 pipeline steels caused by impurities in CO2 supercritical/dense phase at 278 K, simulating the underground transport condition. The wetting properties of carbon steels (X52 and X70) as well as martensitic steel UNS S41500, and superaustenite UNS N08031 were studied by contact angle measurement, revealing reactive wetting behavior of carbon steels. Exposure tests with CO2 saturated water droplet on steel surface showed that the impurities (220 ppmv SO2 and 6700 ppmv O2) diffused into the droplet and then reacted with metal coupons in supercritical/dense phase condition, forming the corrosion product instantly during pumping process. Due to the active wetting behavior, the carbon steels suffered from heavily attack, while negligible corrosion product was observed in cases of martensitic steel UNS S41500 and superaustenite UNS 08031 coupons. Condensation experiments that were carried out on fresh polished coupons in CO2 with 1200 ppmv H2O showed that the formation and aggregation of droplet is dependent on the presence of impurities. Without SO2 and O2, the same concentration of H2O did not cause observable corrosion process after a week of exposure. With 220 ppmv SO2 and 6700 ppmv O2 even low water concentration (5-30 ppmv) still resulted in heterogeneous nucleation and subsequent growth of droplets, leading to corrosive process on carbon steel surface albeit to a lesser extent.
CCUS-Technologie (CO2-Abtrennung; Nutzung und Speicherung, engl. Carbon Dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage) gilt als eine vielversprechende Methode zur Abschwächung des Beitrags von fossilen Emissionen zur globalen Erwärmung. Dabei wird das in den Verbrennungsprozessen entstandene Treibhausgas aufgefangen, zu verschiedenen Lagerstätten transportiert und langzeitig gespeichert bzw. einer chemischen Nutzung zugeführt.
In bisher veröffentlichten Untersuchungen wurde gezeigt, dass die CO2-Transport-Pipelines in hohem Maße gefährdet sind, wenn sie korrosiven Begleitstoffen des CO2-Stroms, wie SOx, NOx bei einem hohen Wasserdampfanteil ausgesetzt sind. Screening-Tests zeigten, dass bei einer Konzentration von 1000 ppmv H2O die Reaktionen und Kondensation von SO2 und NO2 mit O2 und H2O zu Säuretropfen (pH ~ 0,5) auf der Oberfläche von Metall-Prüfkörper und Gefäß führen. Die Werkstoffe 1.0582, 1.8977, 1.4313 und 1.4562 wurden in CO2-gesättigtem Kondensat mit unterschiedlichem Verhältnis der säurebildenden Komponenten untersucht. Diese Studien zeigten grundsätzlich den Mechanismus sowie die Rolle jedes CO2-Strom-Begleitstoffes auf den Korrosionsprozess. Allerdings spiegeln die bei Auslagerung und elektrochemischen Messungen in der künstlichen CO2-gesättigten Kondensat-Lösung auftretenden Bedingungen nicht im Detail die Realität in der Praxis, wo sich nur Tröpfchen bilden, wider.
Diese Arbeit konzentriert sich auf den Korrosionsprozess von Kondensat in Form von Tröpfchen, auf der Oberfläche von Rohrleitungswerkstoffen unter CO2-Atmosphäre bei 5 °C (Simulation des Transportzustandes). Die Experimente wurden nicht nur für Auslagerungsversuche, sondern auch für elektrochemische Tests mit nur einem Tröpfchen (weniger als 20 µL) konzipiert. Die Auslagerungs-versuche wurden sowohl unter Normaldruck als auch bei hohem Druck (> 70 bar) durchgeführt, wobei das CO2 als dichte – den Tropfen umgebende - Phase vorliegt. Die korrodierten Prüfkörper wurden rasterelektronenmikroskopisch (REM) und mittels Energiedispersiver Röntgenspektroskopie (EDX) analysiert, um nicht nur Korrosionsform, sondern auch die Elementverteilung der Korrosionsprodukte zu zeigen.
Synergistic effects of impurities in the condensate on the corrosion of CO2 transport pipeline
(2017)
For the reliability of transport pipelines the corrosion resistance of the materials used needs to be determined in conditions, which are possible during the transport process. In some situations condensation of components out of the CO2 stream can occur. To study the effect of condensate on transport pipeline steel, a “worst-case scenario” gas mixture, containing 2.5 % H2O, 1.8 % O2, 1000 ppmv NO2, and 220 ppmv SO2, was proposed, fed (1.5 L/min) into a glass reactor containing coupon-shaped specimens for 120 600 h at 278 K (to simulate the underground pipeline transport), and resulted in the condensate containing 0.114 M H2SO4 and 0.0184 M HNO3 (pH 2.13). Basing on this “original” condensate, exposure tests and electrochemical characterization together with pH and conductivity in CO2 saturated condition at the same temperature were carried out. The role of each gas impurity and the combination of them, when the condensate is formed, was studied by investigating the role of individual and varying combination of acidic components in the condensate on the corrosion behaviors of the commercial pipeline-steel (L360NB). It can be concluded that although the condensation of NOx in form of HNO3 causes faster corrosion rate, it is the condensation of SOx or the combination of SOx and NOx that may cause much more severe problems in form of localized and pitting corrosions. Different to the corrosion products formed in CO2 atmosphere without impurities (mainly iron carbonate) the corrosion products resulted from these acidic condensation have no protectability, indicating the need of controlling gas quality during the transportation within the pipeline network.
Derzeit wird der Einsatz metallener Werkstoffe in CCU-/CCS-Anlagen hinsichtlich deren Korrosionsbeständigkeit und eine eventuell daraus resultierende Herausforderung diskutiert. Während des CO₂-Transportes vom Abscheide- zum Injektionsort kann es aufgrund der den CO₂-Strom begleitenden Beimengungen, wie Wasser, O₂, SOₓ , NOₓ , Temperaturschwankungen durchaus zu Kondensationseffekten und daraus resultierenden Schäden kommen.
Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die sich möglicherweise innerhalb einer CO₂-Rohrleitung bildenden Kondensate infolge von Begleitstoffen wie SO2 und NO2 eine viel korrosivere Wirkung auf Rohrleitungswerkstoffe entfalten, als in reinem CO₂.
