Configurational-bias Monte Carlo simulations in the Gibbs and isobaric-isothermal ensembles using the transferable potentials for phase equilibria force field were carried out to investigate the thermophysical properties of mixtures containing supercritical carbon dioxide and methanol. The binary vapor-liquid coexistence curves were calculated at 333.15 and 353.15 K and are in excellent agreement with experimental measurements. The self-association of methanol in supercritical carbon dioxide was investigated over a range of temperatures and pressures near the mixture critical point. The temperature dependence of the equilibrium constants for the formation of hydrogen-bonded aggregates (from dimer to heptamer) allowed for the determination of the enthalpy of hydrogen bonding, DeltaHHB, in supercritical carbon dioxide with values for DeltaHHB of about 15 kJ mol(-1) falling within the range of previously proposed values. No strong pressure dependence was observed for the formation of aggregates. Apparently the decrease of the entropic penalty and of the enthalpic benefit upon increasing pressure or solvent density mostly cancel each other's effect on aggregate formation.

The supercritical antisolvent (SAS) method can effectively improve the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. However, the current supercritical equipment and processes were not fully developed, making industrialization difficult to achieve. Therefore, an externally adjustable annular gap nozzle and its supporting equipment were designed.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) has been regarded as highly potential photocatalyst for solar energy utilization. However, the restricted absorption of visible light for pristine g-CN significantly limits the solar-light-driven chemical reaction efficiency. Herein, structurally distorted g-CN nanosheets with awakened n-π* electron transition were successfully synthesized through hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA)-involved supercritical CO (scCO) treatment and following pyrolysis of melamine precursor.

Ensuring long-term wellbore integrity is critical for carbon dioxide geological storage. Ordinary Portland cement (PC) is usually used for wellbore primary cementing and plug operation, and set cement is easily corroded by acidic fluids, such as carbon dioxide, in underground high-temperature and high-pressure (HTHP) environments, resulting in a decrease in the mechanical properties and an increase in permeability. In order to achieve long-term wellbore integrity in a CO-rich environment This study introduces materials such as thermosetting vinyl ester resin (TSR), filler composite resin (FCR), and low-cost resin cement (RC).

Using the Ordos Basin dry sandstone and sandstone saturated with different saline concentrations as research subjects, a self-developed constant temperature and pressure CO2 injection simulation device was employed to conduct permeability tests on sandstone under varying effective stresses and CO2 injection pressures. The test results indicated that during the CO2 injection process, the permeability of dry sandstone was two orders of magnitude higher than that of sandstones saturated with different saline concentrations. When the effective stress increases from 10 MPa to 28 MPa, the fissure compressibility of reservoir sandstone is influenced by the saturation of different saline concentrations, with the compressibility coefficients for 0%, 15%, and 30% saline-saturated sandstone being 0.
