Abstract

The utilization (absorption and areal sweep) of injected carbon dioxide (CO2) can be enhanced if a viscous and agglomeration free nanofluid is used as most of the nanoparticles (NPs) prefer to stay in bulk phase rather than adsorbing on CO2 surface. NP adsorption can be improved if non-participating NPs are surface modified with a suitable surface modifying agent e.g., triethoxy (vinyl)silane (TVS). Thus, in this study, single-step approach was used to synthesize agglomeration free TiO2 nanofluid whose surface modification was carried out in varying proportion of TVS (1–5% v/v) followed by the discussion on comparative CO2 absorption and storage performance by different tools such as DLS, IFT, Rheology, Contact-angle, and Micromodel flow. The basic nanofluid (To) showed greater CO2 absorption after surface modification as demonstrated by molality results. However, surface modification also decreased dispersion stability of surface modified nanofluids (T1, T2, and T3) and T2 was regarded as the most stable nanofluid with −64.4 mV (ζ-potential) and 153 nm (NP size). After surface modification, increase in NP size and settlement was higher for surface modified nanofluids than To, which exhibited dispersion stability of 84 d with −53.4 mV and 15 nm. Contact angle results also showed that surface modified nanofluids possess greater affinity for CO2 absorption than basic nanofluid (To). Rheological analysis was also consistent with other tests where viscosity was found dependent on both storage period and temperature, and NP settlement was found to be the most influential parameter on flow properties of nanofluid. Finally, pore scale analysis was performed to understand areal sweep of injected CO2 in micromodel with and without nanofluid, where nanofluid imparted greater CO2 storage by diverting it in un-swept pore networks of micromodel which were untapped by CO2 without nanofluid.
