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第三大天然气储量。必须从所有这些商业流体中去除硫物质，以限制二氧化硫排放和/或毒性。在加拿大，传统的酸性气体含有高达45%的H2S，** 非常规页岩气含有高达800 ppm的H2S和10%的CO2，重油生产或提质的尾气含有高达6%的H2S。大多数旨在管理这些流体中杂质的研究仅限于低压区域（接近大气压），而高压研究允许探索和优化低能量替代品。例如，碳捕获和封存 ** 或酸性气体注入需要了解高压液体中的复杂化学，而 ** 大多数商业模拟器仅限于气相。NSERC/阿尔伯塔硫研究有限公司IRC在应用硫化学方面的活动旨在 ** 改进高压下酸性气体生产、调节和加工的技术。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，新术语的研究已经扩展到包括致密CO2和/或H2S流体的载水能力、用于减少液态酸性气体流体中的水的吸附剂的优化（低温吸附），** 为注射液中的化学平衡计算建立参考质量信息，并了解 ** 硫流变测定法的改进，用于将来可能注入元素硫。主席基金 ** 为14名高素质人员提供培训，历史上80%的HQP毕业于该 ** 计划，并在石油和天然气行业担任专业职务。

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.
