Thermodynamic and kinetic analysis of gas hydrates for desalination of saturated salinity water

Surface morphology effects on clathrate hydrate wettability

“…Gas hydrates naturally form under certain conditions of pressure and temperature because of a balance between water-water hydrogen bonds and host-guest (i.e., water-methane) dispersive interactions [1]. Over the last decade, gas hydrates have attracted significant focus because of their possible applications in various sustainable and environmental technologies [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Natural gas hydrates could also provide an alternative energy source; notwithstanding their environmental effects should be understood, prevented and mitigated when necessary [8,10].…”

Molecular mechanisms by which tetrahydrofuran affects CO2 hydrate Growth: Implications for carbon storage

“…Gas hydrates have received great scientific and industrial attention [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] with the early stage of gas hydrate-related research focusing on flow assurance to prevent oil and gas pipeline blockage by hydrate formation. Currently, the growth of interest in the hydrate research field inclines towards the expansion of gas hydrate applications in water-energyenvironment nexus including water desalination [9,10], gas separations [11,12], intermittent natural gas and hydrogen storage [13][14][15][16][17], refrigeration and transport [18,19]. Further, attention is today focused on approaches to mitigate global warming through long-term CO 2 capture and sequestration, which could be achieved via the formation of CO 2 hydrates [20][21][22][23][24].…”

Universal correlation for gas hydrates suppression temperature of inhibited systems: IV. Water activity

“…It was demonstrated in the previous article that the HLS correlation can also be applied to structure II hydrate systems 12 . Besides, this system contains a high concentration of salts, which is very close to the saturation limit of CaBr 2 , and thus can be used to test the applicability of prediction methods for systems with highly concentrated THIs 21 . When applying the HLS correlation, the same methodology but with a different constant β gas is applied since structure I and II hydrates have quite different hydration numbers and enthalpies of hydrate dissociation.…”
