In this research, the effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (NTs) on dissolution of methane in water have been investigated. The tests were performed in a 370 CC vessel at pressures 3 and 5 bar and temperatures of 1-5 ı C. The solution volume was 300 CC. For any solution data of vessel pressure versus time and the total absorption capacity were collected. NTs were dispersed in water by using the sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution with a concentration of 1 wt% and applying ultrasonic agitation for 25 min. Utilization of 0.1 wt% SDS at a pressure of 3 bar reduced the dissolution capacity, while at the pressure of 5 bar a negligible increase was observed. Dissolution capacity increased up to 5.26% by using of NT along with SDS at the pressure of 5 bar and low temperatures. Utilization of SDS, NT, and their mixtures improved the pressure reduction slope of methane at low temperatures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
