Determine the method for relative isotope value (relative isotopic value)

On the one hand, the invention provides by determining that its relative isotopics ratio comes the method for characterize combinations.Although can use various isotopes (all these have can with standard than the isotope ratio that compares)-for example carbon, oxygen, sulphur, boron and nitrogen, following description is primarily aimed at carbon and relative carbon isotope ratio or δ ¹³The C value.It being understood that this argumentation is applicable to the element that other is suitable too.In some embodiments, also determine the constituent content of said composition, for example carbon content.In some embodiments, this method for example further comprises by relatively carbon content and relative carbon isotope composition being waited than the value that records and standard value or raw material value and verifies that said composition contains from CO ₂Carbon, this CO ₂From particular source, fossil fuel source for example.Said composition can be the carbon that has wherein stored from fossil fuel source, for example the composition of carbonic acid gas.In some cases, this based composition desirably has precedence over other material and for example is used in structure or the road, carbonic acid gas and optional other not desirable material is sealed up for safekeeping in architectural environment guaranteeing.In some cases, desirably use this based composition, for example slurry or solution, as be used for the long term storage carbonic acid gas and optional other not desirable material seal medium up for safekeeping.Therefore, in some embodiments, this method further comprises the carbon dioxide storage stability of determining said composition, for example determines the carbonic acid gas rate of release under imposing a condition.

In some embodiments, this method comprises measures multiple element, two or more in carbon, sulphur, nitrogen, oxygen and the boron for example, isotope value, as relative isotopic ratio, thus can isotope " fingerprint analysis " particular composition.

Method of the present invention can be used for for example verifying in the composition some or substantially all carbon and, in some cases, other element source is from fossil fuel.

Stable isotope and isotope fractionation

Many elements have stable isotope, and in various processes, for example preferentially use these isotopes in the bioprocess.Example is a carbon, and it is used to illustrate most methods as herein described, still, recognize, these methods also are applicable to other element with stable isotope, as long as their ratio can be to measure with the similar mode of carbon; This dvielement comprises nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur and boron.The method of measuring the isotope ratio of these elements is known.

With ‰ (every mil) is the relative carbon isotope composition (δ of unit ¹³C) value is with respect to fossilisation belemnite (fossilized belemnite) standard (PDB standard), two kinds of stable isotopes of carbon, promptly ¹²C and ¹³The tolerance of the concentration ratio of C.

δ ¹³C ‰=[( ¹³C/ ¹²C _Sample- ¹³C/ ¹²C _{The PDB standard})/( ¹³C/ ¹²C _{The PDB standard})] * 1000

¹²C since its than low quality in the photosynthesis process and utilizing in other bioprocess of DIC and preferentially drawn by plant. ¹²C makes the limited reaction of dynamics than using than low quality ¹³Carry out more efficiently during C.Therefore, derived from the material of vegetable material, for example fossil fuel has than derived from the little relative carbon isotope composition value of the material of inorganic source.The relative carbon isotope composition value that reflects the organic material of fossilisation by the carbonic acid gas in the flue gas of combustion of fossil fuel generation.Table 1 is listed the relative carbon isotope composition value scope of the relevant carbon source that is used for comparison.

In some embodiments, the invention provides the method for characterize combinations, comprise and measure its relative carbon isotope composition (δ ¹³C) value.In some embodiments, said composition is to contain carbonate, for example the composition of magnesium carbonate and/or calcium carbonate.Can use any suitable method to measure this δ ¹³The C value is as mass spectrometry or from axle integration chamber output spectrum method (from axle ICOS).

A difference between the carbon isotope is their quality.Can use responsive definite to any mass discrimination technology that is enough to measure the carbon amount ¹³C with ¹²The ratio of C isotopes concentration.Mass spectrometry is usually used in determining δ ¹³The C value.Also can buy and to determine δ ¹³The table top of C value is from axle integration chamber output spectrum (from axle ICOS) instrument.These values are passed through ¹²C and ¹³Energy difference in the two keys of carbon-oxygen that the C isotope produces in carbonic acid gas obtains.δ from the carbonate sediment of carbon sequestration method ¹³The C value is served as CO ₂The fingerprint of gas source, because should value can become with the source, but in most of carbon sequestration situations, δ ¹³C is generally-9 ‰ to-35 ‰.

In some embodiments, this method comprises the measurement of the carbon amount in the said composition.Can use any suitable carbon measuring technique, as coulometry.Can use carbon to measure the amount of the carbonic acid gas of sealing up for safekeeping in the quantification composition in some cases.Isotope measure can be used for verifying that the carbon source in the composition is the carbon source of being claimed.

Another feature of embodiments more of the present invention comprises the δ of comparison said composition ¹³C value and another δ ¹³The C value; This another δ ¹³The C value can be a standard value---in the said composition possible raw material (for example coal, oil, natural gas or flue gas) value or provide can be for any other value of relatively useful information.In some embodiments, with the δ of said composition ¹³C value and fixed value or number range, as-1 ‰ to-50 ‰, or-5 ‰ to-40 ‰, or-5 ‰ to-35 ‰, or-7 ‰ to-40 ‰, or-7 ‰ to-35 ‰, or-9 ‰ to-40 ‰, or-9 ‰ to-35 ‰ value compares, or with-3 ‰,-5 ‰,-6 ‰,-7 ‰,-8 ‰,-9 ‰,-10 ‰,-11 ‰,-12 ‰,-13 ‰,-14 ‰,-15 ‰,-16 ‰,-17 ‰,-18 ‰,-19 ‰,-20 ‰,-21 ‰,-22 ‰,-23 ‰,-24 ‰,-25 ‰,-26 ‰,-27 ‰,-28 ‰,-29 ‰,-30 ‰,-31 ‰,-32 ‰,-33 ‰,-34 ‰,-35 ‰,-36 ‰,-37 ‰,-38 ‰,-39 ‰,-40 ‰,-41 ‰,-42 ‰,-43 ‰,-44 ‰ or-45 ‰ value compares.In some embodiments, show that less than the value of fixed value some or all substantially carbon source in the said composition is from fossil fuel, the value of any value that provides less than this paper for example, as less than-7 ‰ value, or less than-10 ‰ value, or less than-15 ‰ value, or less than-20 ‰ value, or less than-25 ‰ value, or less than-30 ‰ value, or less than-35 ‰ value, value less than-40 ‰.

In some embodiments, with the δ of said composition ¹³The possible raw-material value of C value and said composition compares.For example, the δ of said composition ¹³The C value can with fossil fuel, as the coal of natural gas, oil, coal or particular type, or as the δ of the flue gas that produces by the burning of coal of natural gas, oil, coal or particular type ¹³C value, or δ ¹³C value scope compares.This is particularly useful for verifying that said composition contains from fossil fuel and/or from the CO of combustion of fossil fuel ₂Only as an example, if the δ of coal ¹³The C value is for-34 ‰ and claim the CO that seals up for safekeeping from coal combustion ₂The δ of composition ¹³The C value equals-34 ‰ or (this can be any suitable scope in-34 ‰ certain limit, depend on the variation of measuring condition, coal, from variation of the flue gas of coal etc., for example ± 1 ‰, or ± 2 ‰, or ± 3 ‰, or ± 4 ‰, ± 5 ‰), this can be regarded as confirming wholly or in part that carbon source in the said composition is from this fossil fuel.In above-mentioned example, if acceptable scope for ± 3 ‰ and said composition have-32 ‰ δ ¹³C value, then this δ ¹³The C value can be regarded as consistent with the source from the carbon of this particular coal in the said composition.Other factors with due regard in this checking.In some embodiments, this δ ¹³The C value is unique Consideration.

Some embodiments further comprise in the quantized sets compound from CO ₂Source, for example CO that seals up for safekeeping in the fossil fuel source ₂Amount.For example, can use coulometry to determine the relative quantity of carbon in the composition, and can use isotopic ratio to verify that this carbon is derived from fossil fuel wholly or in part.Follow and determine the CO that seals up for safekeeping in the said composition by simple computation ₂The amount of (or carbon) is if provide the carbon that is derived from fossil fuel and the relative quantity of total carbon.

Other embodiments of the present invention comprise that (itself and standard compare, and are similar to δ for the isotope value of the non-carbon determined in the composition or the element beyond the de-carbon or isotope ratio ¹³The C value).This dvielement includes but not limited to oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur and boron.Can be by measuring the isotope value of any these dvielements or element combinations with those similar techniques that are used for carbon.This class technology and the method for comparatively representing isotope ratio with standard are well known in the art, for example the δ of boron ¹¹The δ of B value and sulphur ³⁴The S value.Therefore, in some embodiments, the invention provides multiple isotope value by determining said composition or isotopic ratio or it makes up the method for isotope element finger print analysed composition.In some embodiments, also determine this element or the amount of its compound in said composition.In some embodiments, quantification with the elements of this isotope representative uses one or more isotope compositions with isotope element finger print to determine having particular source in the said composition, for example has the total amount of the elements in fossil fuel source.In addition, isotope ratio may change (for example for boron and/or sulphur) in the burning of fossil fuel and other process, and these changes can count consideration in some embodiments with further refinement checking and/or quantitative analysis.

In some embodiments, determine two or more isotope value or isotopic ratio or its combination in carbon, sulphur, oxygen, nitrogen and the boron.In some embodiments, determine the isotope element finger print of carbon and sulphur, for example the δ of carbon ¹³The δ of C value and sulphur ³⁴The S value.In some embodiments, determine the isotope element finger print of carbon and boron, for example the δ of carbon ¹³The δ of C value and boron ¹¹The B value.In some embodiments, determine the isotope element finger print of carbon, sulphur and boron, for example the δ of carbon ¹³The δ of C value, sulphur ³⁴The δ of S value and boron ¹¹The B value.

Isotope element finger print can be used for verifying the source of element in the said composition, for example is used in the checking said composition and contains in the rules of the element that is derived from fossil fuel.This is useful, because many elements, for example carbon and sulphur or their oxide or other compound are subjected to control in all parts of the world, as total amount control and discharging transaction system or other regulations system.Therefore, for example in this type systematic, can use the capture of technical identification of the present invention and/or quantification element and/or their compound.This checking and/or quantification can be used for confirming the compliance with regulations, seal this element or compound up for safekeeping with calculating, for example carbonic acid gas, oxysulfide, nitrogen oxide and be subjected to any other element of control or the credit and the punishment of compound (can carry out their isotope measure) and be used for conspicuous any other the suitable purposes of those skilled in the art.

For example, in order to show that in a process carbonic acid gas takes place to be sealed up for safekeeping, the total amount of carbon dioxide that comes from a process is according to the show less than the total amount of the carbon dioxide that enters this process; In addition, the source of discharging the carbonic acid gas in the gas may be shown as with the product of identical and/or this process of the gas that enters this process and seal CO from this gas according to the show up for safekeeping ₂" fingerprint analysis " material is by measuring and relatively carbon and/or other element, recently makes carbon contained in this material and/or other element interrelated with the source as the stable isotope of nitrogen and sulphur.Because the material user attempts to obtain carbon credit when using material, this method can be used for confirming that carbonic acid gas seals up for safekeeping and show that a material is the carbon negativity.

Show among Fig. 1 that the carbonic acid gas with three kinds of possible carbon sources seals method up for safekeeping.They are: contain CO ₂Air-flow [100], the air above the solution of the method for sealing up for safekeeping [105] and shown in seal the water or the solution [110] of method up for safekeeping, for example seawater, salt solution or other solion.Carbon amount in can measuring separately.The CO that contains for input ₂Air-flow [100], for example use commercial gas probe measurement CO well known by persons skilled in the art ₂The dividing potential drop of gas.Also measure or regulate and contain CO ₂The flow velocity of gas.CO in know gas volume and known this gas by flow velocity ₂Under the situation of concentration, enter the CO of this process ₂Total amount be known.Air is oxygen (O ₂), nitrogen (N ₂), CO ₂, water vapour, ozone and other gas mixture.Be similar to CO to input ₂It is such that air-flow records, and for the air in the characterization system [105], for example uses commercially available probe measurement CO ₂Dividing potential drop, and know volume of air according to the size of reactor.These values of air in this system are told the carbon amount of our this air contribution.Use any suitable method, for example coulometry is measured the concentration of carbon in the water [110].Inorganic and organic carbon content can use coulometry to measure by changing digestive juice.Therefore generally speaking, organic carbon does not participate in this reaction and is not counted in carbon in the method for sealing up for safekeeping.

CO by example [115] ₂The method of sealing up for safekeeping obtains to contain four kinds of components of carbon.These components are: eluting gas [120], required product [130], trickle [135] and the air [125] that contacts with trickle with this product after reaction takes place.As mentioned above, use commercially available probe to determine that the carbon amount in the gas component determines partial pressure of carbon dioxide with the gas volume in this system.Use the carbon amount in coulometry measurement liquid and the solid constituent.Also use mass spectrometry or from the δ of axle ICOS by them ¹³The C value characterizes these materials.δ with product ¹³The CO of C value [130] and input ₂The fingerprint value of air-flow [100] compares.CO near input ₂, for example still very negative product δ ¹³C shows that carbon in this product is not from the fact of water [110] or air [105].Water and air has the only negative slightly δ that records usually in this material and technology characterizing method ¹³The C value is not less than-8 ‰.

Whether the carbon amount of input in the component has any carbon not count with comparison shows that of carbon amount in the component of sealing method from this up for safekeeping.With δ ¹³This mass balance of C fingerprint analysis coupling shows, a part of CO ₂Leave the input air-flow, be not present in the effluent stream, and incorporate in the product.

Illustrative methods shown in Fig. 1 is method [115], in this process from the input gas CO ₂Dissolving [100] in solution, but with solution in ionic reaction and the form that is formed for maybe can changing into this form with the long term storage form from input gas, remove CO ₂Material.This method can produce solution, deposited material, or slurry, as long as end product is fit to long term storage.Can be at isotopic content or ratio, for example δ of any component of any phase measuring of this method ¹³The C value is to obtain original CO ₂Final situation quantitatively and/or observational measurement.In addition, the carbon that is undertaken by for example coulometry is measured and is allowed precise quantification CO ₂Final situation.Under the situation of any measurement, can be from material or in time through obtaining a plurality of samples, for example can obtain and analyze 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 or more than 10 samples.Therefore, for large quantities of products of making and/or making continuously, the sample that can get suitable quantity is with total δ of the material of indicating all amounts ¹³C value and/or carbon content.In the example shown in Fig. 1, CO ₂Can be from containing CO ₂The gas flue gas of combustion of fossil fuel (for example from), from containing CO with this ₂Gas be dissolved in the air [105] of water contact wherein and enter this method from water itself [110].Measure a kind of, two kinds or all δ in these ¹³The C value also can be measured CO separately ₂Concentration and flow velocity.Can carry out similar measurement to eluting gas [120], the air [125] that contacts with the desciccate and/or the liquid efflunent of settling step, product (liquid slurry of for example carbonato solid material or carbonate and/or bicarbonate) [130] and liquid efflunent [135].Can test and consider any additional CO similarly ₂Source or CO ₂Converge.At known each CO ₂Source or CO ₂Flow velocity in the remittance, volume, flowing time, δ ¹³C value and CO ₂Under the situation of concentration/amount, direct calculated mass balance and confirm for example CO ₂Seal up for safekeeping the product from original flue gas, and quantize the CO seal up for safekeeping ₂Amount.Recognize, the separate sources of flue gas, for example different fossil fuels as the coal from various places, may have different δ ¹³The C value, and can be according to this δ ¹³The product that identification of C value or affirmation use given raw material to make in given place.Although this a kind of mode of doing is to infer the δ of product ¹³The CO that C and fossil fuel (this product it is said from this fossil fuel) or described combustion of fossil fuel produce ₂δ ¹³The C value compares, the product of each batch of also can taking a sample, and many batches representative sample perhaps is to use the δ that is derived by product itself by rule of thumb ¹³C.Can adopt arbitrary method or combinatorial test and discriminating counterfeit materials.

Also to recognize, other element that exists in this fossil fuel, the fossil fuel that may have particular type as sulphur, boron and/or nitrogen is distinctive, the coal in for example used particular type and geology source distinctive and may in addition distinctive their isotopic ratio of the particular batch of coal.If with δ ¹³The C value combines with one or more these values, can obtain the uniqueness " fingerprint " of material source, and this can seal carbon up for safekeeping and/or compare from the fingerprint of the composition of other material of fossil fuel with claiming.Therefore, in some embodiments, the invention provides by determining the δ of said composition ¹³The isotopics value of one or more in C value and sulphur, boron or the nitrogen is verified the method in composition source.The combination of these isotope values or value can be used separately, maybe can use the amount of each element and/or its source than (for example carbon/boron, or carbon/sulphur, or the ratio of sulphur/boron, or the like) checking said composition.About isotope ratio, when using the amount of element itself, can promptly seal ground up for safekeeping with the amount in the said composition and in the supposition source points, the actual sample of extraction compares to determine whether coupling.The combination of amount and isotope ratio provides the extremely strong method of precise classification and checking one composition, and comprises in embodiments of the invention.

Optional other material of sealing up for safekeeping in precipitated composition or in the solution comprises oxysulfide (SO _x, SO for example ₂And SO ₃), nitrogen oxide (NO _x, for example NO or NO ₂), in heavy metal such as mercury, radioactive substance and the VOC one or more.In the composition of analyzing, also can measure and quantize these materials, or their derivative in some cases, and numerical value and reality or theoretical value compared the amount (being used for control and/or trade purposes) of removing to determine from flue gas, if or said composition is the unknown combination thing or claims the composition that comes from specialization stone fuel that source is like this really to verify it.Therefore, in some embodiments, the present invention includes the method for analytic sample, comprise the δ that determines this sample ¹³C value and determine SO _xOr derivatives thereof, as sulphate or sulphite, for example sulphate of calcium or magnesium or sulphite, NO _xThe content value of one or more in or derivatives thereof or mercury or derivatives thereof such as the mercury chloride also compares these values and a reference value (it can be by rule of thumb derived by the actual sample in known source, the theoretical derivation, or derive with any other suitable manner).In some embodiments, the present invention includes the method for analytic sample, it comprises the δ that determines this sample ¹³The C value is determined one or more similar isotopic ratio and the definite SO in boron, sulphur or the nitrogen _xOr derivatives thereof, as sulphate or sulphite, for example sulphate of calcium or magnesium or sulphite, NO _xThe content value of one or more in or derivatives thereof or mercury or derivatives thereof such as the mercury chloride also compares these values and a reference value (it can be by rule of thumb derived by the actual sample in known source, the theoretical derivation, or derive with any other suitable manner).

If desired, can use mass spectrometry for example or from the relative carbon isotope composition value of axle ICOS monitoring this solution in this procedure.Can measure by total alkalinity and calculate the CO that is dissolved in this solution ₂Concentration.The measurement of the total alkalinity of the solution of known volume causes calculating carbon dioxide content.Monitoring is dissolved into the CO in this solution in the process of this method ₂Allow to regulate making the required product of sealing up for safekeeping, and be the optional part of this method.
