NSERC ASRL Industrial Research Chair in Applied Sulfur Chemistry

加拿大拥有世界第三大石油储量，第六大技术可采页岩气储量和** *相当大的天然气储量。必须从所有这些商业流体中去除硫种，以限制二氧化硫的排放和/或毒性。在加拿大，传统的含硫气体的硫化氢含量高达45%，非常规页岩气的硫化氢含量高达800 ppm，二氧化碳含量为10%，重油生产或升级后的废气硫化氢含量高达6%。大多数旨在管理这些流体中的杂质的研究仅限于低压状态（接近大气），而高压研究允许探索和优化低能源替代方案。例如，碳捕获和封存**或酸性气体注入需要了解高压液体状流体中的复杂化学，而**大多数商业模拟器仅限于气相。** NSERC/Alberta硫研究有限公司的活动。应用硫化学IRC旨在改进高压下的酸性气体生产、调节和处理技术。通过对物理化学性质的精确测量和对高压化学行为的精确理解，新学期的研究已经扩展到包括致密CO2和/或H2S流体的携水能力。优化用于减少液体酸性气体流体中水分的吸附剂（低温吸附），为注入流体中的化学平衡计算建立参考质量信息，并了解硫流变学的修改，以便将来可能注入单质硫。主席基金**为14名高素质人才提供培训，从该**项目毕业的HQP中，有80%的人进入了石油和天然气行业的专业岗位。

Canada owns the world's 3rd largest oil reserve, the 6th largest technically recoverable shale gas reserve and a**comparably massive gas reserve. Sulfur species must be removed from all these commercial fluids to limit**sulfur dioxide emissions and/or toxicity. Traditional sour gases in Canada are produced with up to 45% H2S,**unconventional shale gas is produced with up to 800 ppm H2S and 10% CO2 and off-gas from heavy oil**production or upgrading contains up to 6% H2S. The majority of research aimed at managing impurities in**these fluids is limited to the low-pressure regime (near atmospheric), whereas high-pressure studies allow for**the exploration and optimization of lower energy alternatives. For example, Carbon Capture and Sequestration**or Acid Gas Injection requires understanding complex chemistry in high-pressure liquid-like fluids, whereas**most commercial simulators are limited to gas phase.**The activity of the NSERC/Alberta Sulfur Research Ltd. IRC in Applied Sulfur Chemistry is aimed at**improving technologies for sour gas production, conditioning and processing at elevated pressures. Through**accurate measurement of physical chemical properties and precise understanding of high-pressure chemical**behavior, research in the new term has expanded to include the water carrying capacity of dense CO2 and/or**H2S fluids, the optimization of adsorbents used to reduce water in liquid acid gas fluids (cryogenic adsorption),**building reference quality information for chemical equilibria calculations in injectate fluids and understanding**the modification of sulfur rheometry for possible future injection of elemental sulfur. The chair funding**provides training for 14 highly qualified personnel, where historically 80% of HQP graduating from this**program have gone onto professional positions in the Oil and Gas Sector.
