As one of the most promising alternative energy, natural gas hydrate has aroused much
attention owing to its controllable exploitation with the aid of chemical injections. Although …

The effect of few monovalent salts (NaCl, NH4Cl, and GdmCl) as additives, according to the
Hofmeister series on the growth of methane gas hydrates, has been studied using …

Natural gas hydrate (NGH), is a new green‐sustainable energy source, and the process of
recovering CH4 from NGH by replacing CO2 is regarded as an advantageous way to mine …

The stability of methane hydrate is essential for its practical applications as an energy
resource, but the stability mechanism of methane hydrate under pressure has not been …

The decomposition process of methane hydrate in pure water and methanol aqueous
solution was studied by molecular dynamics simulation. The effects of temperature and …

Clathrate hydrate forms when a hydrophobic molecule is entrapped inside a water cage or
cavity. Although biomolecular structures also have hydrophobic patches, clathrate-like water …
