Methane Hydrate Crystal Growth At the Gas/Liquid Interface in the Presence of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate

Natural gas hydrate resources and hydrate technologies: a review and analysis of the associated energy and global warming challenges

“…Hayama et al reported hydrate formation from SDS aqueous droplets and CH 4 . 368 At 100 ppm SDS and 2.3 K subcooling, hydrates formed crystals on the interface but spontaneously detached from the interface after reaching a certain size. Eventually, the droplets disappeared and hydrate crystals covered the bottom support plate.…”
