Definitions

  • the present invention relates to. a method for the riddance of carbon dioxide by disposal into deep sea water of carbon di ⁇ oxide being brought to be present in solid form at a low tempera ⁇ ture at atmospheric pressure, so called dry ice.
  • Enormous amounts of carbon dioxide are created mainly during combustion.
  • the total amount of carbon dioxide received from com ⁇ bustion in the world is estimated to run up to more than 20 bil ⁇ lions ton a year. Such an amount cannot be obsorbed by growing plants and the sea water.
  • the amount of carbon dioxide is instead increased in the atmosphere, probably resulting in a raise of the medium temperature on earth, the so called glass house effect.
  • the pressure is so high and the temperature so low, that the carbon dioxide deposited in solid state at said depth is gradually converted to liquid state and remains thereafter in said state lying at the bottom of the sea, carbon dioxide at said pressure having a density larger than that of sea water.
  • the disposal can be made not less than at a depth of fifteen hundred meters or more so that the liquid carbon di ⁇ oxide being extremely little soluable in water, will remain fore ⁇ ver at the disposal site. If really deep sea areas can be found, e.g. where the depth is ten thousand meters, it is obviously con ⁇ venient to use such depths, the costs for descending of the car ⁇ bon dioxide dry ice are the same independant of the depth in contrast to try to pump liquid carbon dioxide down to such depth. It is the purpose of the present invention to find a simple and economically defendable solution of the discussed problem.
  • the method according to the invention normally implies a conveyance of the dry ice blocks and the ballast to the disposal site, the blocks are conveniently during conveyance stored in heat isolating containers with or without cooling devices.
  • the mixture of carbon dioxide and any ballast is arranged to take place within or nearby the combustion plant, where the carbon dioxide and even other contaminations in the flue gases are sedi- mented by condensation or rather sublimation at low temperature.
  • Figure 1 is a side view, partly in section, of a compressed body of dry ice and ballast material in an envelope of plastic material
  • figure 2 shows a cross section through a heat isolating conveyance container
  • figure 3 is a side view, partly in section, of carbon dioxide deposited at the bottom of the sea.
  • Figure 1 shows a body 1 comprised of carbon dioxide dry ice being compressed or compacted to a block of carbon dioxide dry ice together with a mass of stones and gravel 3, distributed throughout the block volume with an accumulation at the side sur ⁇ faces and especially at the bottom 4.
  • the block is surrounded by a plastic foil bag 5 being tied up at the top without being com ⁇ pletely closed.
  • the block 1 is stored in a conveyance container 10 of heat isolating material according to figure 2 and with an openable bottom 11 of the same material.
  • the bottom 11 of the conveyance container 10 is opened at the disposal site and the block 1 together with the appartaining envelope 5 is dumped into the water 12, in which the block and the envelope with a volume of some cubic meters is according to figur 3 swiftly and without any major heat exchange or loss of carbon dioxide to the surrounding water sinking down to the bot ⁇ tom of the sea 20.
  • the carbon dioxide dry ice is under the prevailing pressure and temperature with the depth being at least fifteen hundred meters converted to liquid carbon dioxide with a density being larger than that of the water.
  • the carbon dioxide not remaining in the envelope 5 runs out onto the bottom 20 and creates large accumulations 21 of liquid carbon dioxide, in time possibly being covered with a layer 22 of light, solid material continually sinking down through the water onto the bottom of the sea and forming bottom sediments.
  • ballast also other materials can be baked into the blocks during their compression, such as algeols, iron salts, carbon dioxide consuming bacteria and fungi and further materials with a positive influence on the environment prevailing at the bottom of the sea, often being enriched with sulphur and poor of oxygen.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé d'élimination du dioxyde de carbone par immersion en mer à grande profondeur du dixoyde de carbone rendu solide à basse température à la pression atmosphérique, sous forme de neige carbonique. Pour permettre un transport rapide des blocs de neige carbonique à grandes profondeurs, le dioxyde de carbone sublimé/condensé, c'est-à-dire la neige carbonique, est compressé ou compacté avec du ballast (3) tel que du gravier ou tout autre matériau à haute densité afin d'obtenir des corps cohérents (1) présentant une densité essentiellement supérieure à celle de la neige carbonique (2). Avant de les immerger de préférence à une profondeur d'au moins 1500 mètres, lesdits corps sont enveloppés de manière appropriée dans une enveloppe en plastique perméable aux gaz (5).
