The added advantage of such a technology is the simultaneous sequestering/storage of CO2 captured from fossil fuel power plants or other significant point sources of CO2. Recent reviews on the subject have provided an account of the laboratory and theoretical work on this topic. The reviews highlighted the need to further elucidate the dynamics of the exchange process and provide information needed for the design of industrial scale facilities. In this work, the kinetics of the CO2/CH4 exchange process are investigated in a 5.3 L laboratory crystallizer (reservoir) equipped with ahorizontal injection tube with 24 exits into the packed bed of silica sand particles. Preliminary experiments conducted using this apparatus and also with a high pressu...
