Natural gas (NG), the cleanest burning fossil fuel, plays a crucial role in meeting the global
energy demand, contributing to 24% and is projected to grow at a rate of about 2% until …

Clathrate hydrates are well known structures that were considered for many years as
harmful by the oil and gas industry because of their annoying tendency to plug pipelines …

The effects of anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the formation/dissociation
kinetic behaviors of methane hydrate have been studied experimentally, with an emphasis …

Clathrate hydrates have drawn considerable attention in the last few years due to a variety of
possible applications, including transportation and storage of natural gas and carbon …

The effects of the graphite nanoparticles on the CO2 hydrate formation process were
experimentally studied by measuring the induction time and amount of gas consumed. A …

A novel experimental method to study the hydrate formation kinetics on the gas/water
interface was presented and, using this method, the two-dimensional growth kinetic data of …

Stepwise heating method was used to determine the hydrate phase equilibrium in the water
containing graphite nanoparticles. The results show that, compared with deionized water at …

Hydrophobic particles have been tested as kinetic promoters for gas hydrate formation. The
experimental results obtained with stationary beds of sands show that methane (CH4) …

Gas hydrates offer potential methods for the storage and transportation of gases. However,
factors such as slow kinetics can hinder storage applications. Here we demonstrate the use …

Porous hydrogel particles of poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)(PHEMA) and poly (N-
isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAAm) with varying water absorbability and quantities were …
