Investigations into surfactant/gas hydrate relationship

Kinetic study of carbon dioxide hydrate formation in presence of silver nanoparticles and SDS

“…gas separation and storage) is very important. The promotion effect of some surfactants on induction time, growth rate, and storage capacity of gas hydrates has been well studied [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. In 2013, Kumar and coworkers have investigated the influence of some additives on carbon dioxide clathrate hydrates [17].…”

Synthesis of anionic multichain type surfactant and its effect on methane gas hydrate formation

“…Various applications of gas hydrates have been proposed in the fields of energy and the environment. Research is also currently being conducted on the promotion of hydrate formation, as transporting natural gas in the form of solid hydrates may be more economical than current methods of transporting natural gas in liquid form (LNG; liquefied natural gas) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Gudmundsson et al [3] demonstrated that methane hydrate could be stored at a temperature above À15 8C and at atmospheric pressure for a long time.…”

Core and sediment physical property correlation of the second Ulleung Basin Gas Hydrate Drilling Expedition (UBGH2) results in the East Sea (Japan Sea)

“…To understand the effects of grain size and mineralogy in the hydrate formation process seafloor sediments composed of sand, kaolinite/sand mix, and bentonite/sand mix from the Gulf of Mexico, where gas hydrates are more prone to fine-grained sediments, were placed in segregated compartments of a test cell in the study of Rogers et al (2007). Based on the evidence of these tests, dirty sand can be considered as an ideal host medium for gas hydrate.…”
