Methane Hydrate Behavior for Water–Oil Systems Containing CTAB and Synperonic PE/F127 Surfactants

Prediction of Hydrate Formation for the Systems Containing Single and Mixed Electrolyte Solutions

In this work the effect of electrolytes on hydrate formation was investigated. To do so, a new model was used in predicting the hydrate formation conditions in presence of both single and mixed electrolyte solutions. The new model is based on the van der Waals - Platteeuw hydrate equation of state. In order to evaluate the values for the activity of water in electrolyte solutions t...

Methane escape from gas hydrate systems in marine environment, and methane-driven oceanic eruptions

[1] Huge quantities of CH4 are stored in marine sediment in the form of methane hydrate, bubbles, and dissolved CH4 in pore water. Here I discuss the various pathways for methane to enter the ocean and atmosphere, including: (i) Methane hydrate dissolution or dissociation as it rises through seawater. The dissociation rate can be 2 to 3 orders of magnitude greater than the dissolution rate. (ii...
