Research advances and prospects for CO2 sequestration in igneous geological formations and spaces

  • 摘要: CO2地质利用及封存(CO2 geological utilization and storage, CGUS)是助力实现全球碳减排和我国 “双碳”目标的关键技术路径. 传统CGUS路径存在封存量低、成本高昂的缺陷,若仅依赖枯竭油气田、深部咸水层等实现气候目标,预计需投入近1.3万亿美元的资本性支出,这一严峻需求在凸显低成本、规模化封存场地选址挑战的同时,也为技术创新与跨领域合作创造了战略机遇. 近些年来,玄武岩矿化封存技术逐渐成为CGUS的研究热点. 此外,长期性、大规模、高强度的矿产资源开采在火成岩层内形成了规模宏大的地下空腔群,有望成为CO2封存的战略性场所. 然而,火成岩层采空区CO2封存方法的研究尤为匮乏,严重阻碍了CGUS技术和金属矿山低碳-零碳-负碳绿色开采技术的发展. 通过系统梳理、分析评价不同类型火成岩与CO2相互作用机制,厘清了超镁铁质-镁铁质岩、中-长英质岩封存CO2的方法及功能;并在此基础上,基于金属矿山功能性充填采矿技术,秉承“提高资源回收率、采空区灾害防治与利用、固废处置、CO2安全封存”有机结合理念,创新性地提出了通过构筑封闭型充填室实现火成岩采空区“矿柱回采-充填固碳协同三步法”的展望. 关键技术环节为:(1)利用直接湿法矿化法或间接矿化法制备两种预碳化充填材料,人工柱用材料适度碳化,固废充填材料充分碳化;(2)构筑人工支撑阵列,以主动、可控的方式置换并回采原始矿柱,提高资源回收率;(3)同步构筑密封型充填室,为后续CO2游离相封存提供工程圈闭;(4)向充填室内充填充分碳化的固废材料, 硬化后协同人工柱形成复合充填结构层次;(5)封闭充填室,充注CO2实现其矿化-游离-吸附协同封存.

     

    Abstract: Carbon Dioxide Geological Utilization and Storage (CGUS) constitutes a pivotal technological pathway, instrumental to the advancement of global carbon mitigation efforts and the realization of China's Dual Carbon Objectives. The conventional pathway of CCUS is plagued by limitations such as low storage capacity and high costs. Sole reliance on depleted oil and gas fields or deep saline aquifers to achieve climate goals is projected to necessitate nearly US1.3 trillion in capital expenditures. This daunting requirement not only underscores the challenges in sourcing low-cost, scalable storage sites, but also presents strategic opportunities for technological innovation and cross-sector collaboration. In recent years, basalt carbonation technology has gradually emerged as a research hotspot within CGUS. Furthermore, long-term, large-scale, and intensive mining activities have formed vast underground cavity groups within igneous formations, which show potential as strategic sites for CO2 storage. However, research on CO2 storage methods utilizing goafs in igneous rock strata remains notably scarce, significantly impeding the development of CGUS technologies and the advancement of low-carbon to carbon-negative green mining practices in metal mines. Through a systematic review and analytical assessment of the interaction mechanisms between different types of igneous rocks and CO2, the methods and functions of CO2 storage in ultramafic-mafic rocks and intermediate-felsic rocks have been clarified. Building on this foundation and based on the functional backfill technology in metal mining, guided by the integrated concept of “enhancing resource recovery, preventing goaf hazards and utilizing goaf spaces, treating solid waste, and ensuring safe storage of CO2”, an innovative perspective has been proposed: the realization of a “Three-Step Synergistic Method for Pillar Recovery and Backfill-Carbon Sequestration” in igneous rock goafs by constructing sealed backfill chambers. The key technical steps are as follows: (a) preparation of two types of pre-carbonated backfill materials using either direct aqueous mineralization or indirect mineralization, where the material for artificial pillars undergoes moderate carbonation, while the solid waste backfill material is completely carbonated; (b) construction of an artificial support array to actively and controllably replace and recover the original mine pillars, thereby increasing the resource recovery rate; (c) Simultaneous construction of a sealed backfill chamber to provide an engineered trap for subsequent free-phase CO? storage; (d) backfilling of the fully carbonated solid waste material into the chamber, which, after hardening, integrates with the artificial pillars to form a composite backfill structure; (e) sealing the backfill chamber and injecting CO2 to achieve synergistic CO2 storage via mineralization, free-phase trapping, and adsorption.
