Gas uptake measurements were performed at two different temperatures (275.7 K and 285.7 K) and at an experimental pressure of 6.0 MPa to determine the kinetics of hydrate formation. Experiments were conducted with three different volumes (7.5, 15 and 22 ml) of CP and based on induction time and the rate of hydrate growth, 15 ml of CP was determined to be the optimal volume for carbon dioxide capture at 6.0 MPa and 275.7 K. In addition, the effect of a kinetic promoter, SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate), was investigated. Surprisingly, no improvement in kinetic performance was observed at 6.0 MPa and 275.7 K in the presence of SDS and CP. From the study, it was found that at the optimal 15 ml CP (CP layer thickness of 1.8 mm), the average composition of carbon dioxide in the hydrate phase was 90.36 mol% with a separation factor of 17.82. Furthermore, the unstirred reactor also yielded better kinetic performance over the stirred tank reactor with the unstirred reactor having a 2.28 times higher average gas uptake.

Addition of mole composition of 2.5% propane to the fuel gas (CO2 (40%)/H-2 (60%)) mixture reduces the hydrate formation conditions by 66% at the temperature of 278.4 K. A Clausius-Clapeyron plot for the experimental results was plotted and from the slope, the enthalpy of hydrate dissociation was calculated. The enthalpy of dissociation of the mixed hydrate formed from a ternary gas mixture containing mole composition 38.1% CO2, 59.4% H-2 and 2.5% C3H8 was found to be 110 kJ.mol(-1) and hence it was concluded that the mixed hydrate formed structure II (sII) hydrates. Whereas for the ternary gas mixture containing mole composition 80.0% CO2, 18.8% H-2, and 1.2% C3H8, the enthalpy of dissociation of the mixed hydrate was found to be 78 kJ.mol(-1) and hence we believe the mixed hydrate formed structure I (sI) hydrate.

Porous media of three different silica gels were used, with a mesh size of 60-120, 100-200 and 230-400 having different surface area. The observed trends indicate that silica gel with larger surface area leads to higher gas consumption as well as reduces the induction time. The effect of pore diameter and particle size distribution has already been reported in a previous study [1]. In this study the effect of additives on hydrate formation kinetics were also investigated. The additives studied were nonionic surfactant Tween-80 (T-80), cationic dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTACl) and anionic Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS). Out of the three surfactants used in this study, SDS was found to be most effective in enhancing the rate of hydrate formation as well as reducing the induction time. The current result shows significant improvement in water to hydrate conversion in silica gel media compared to quiescent water or surfactant-water system under similar conditions.

Hydrate formation kinetics was investigated at three different pressures (4.5, 5.5 and 6.0 MPa respectively) and at 274.15 K. The performance of silica sand and silica gel as a medium was evaluated. In silica sand bed, multiple nucleation events were observed. In silica gel bed, the gas uptake and water conversion to hydrates was significantly low at any given driving force than that obtained in silica sand bed. Experiments at different water saturation levels (50, 75 and 100%) in silica sand bed were investigated at 6.0 MPa and 274.15 K. It was found that at 50% water saturation, gas consumed for hydrate formation and water conversion to hydrates was almost three times that at 100% saturation. Water to hydrate conversions of up to 64.3% was achieved after 4 h of hydrate formation for the 50% water saturated silica sand bed. Our study presents an opportunity to scale up the HBGS process for CO2 capture with enhanced kinetics by employing a fixed bed reactor configuration. Decomposition experiments at a driving force of Delta T of 10 K and 23K were carried out to recover the gas consumed for hydrate formation and it was found that Delta T of 23 K was sufficient to recover the hydrated gas.

A gas mixture of 40.0 mol % carbon dioxide and 60.0 mol % hydrogen was used in an unstirred system with subcooling as the driving force. Experimental pressure is at 6.0 MPa and experimental temperatures used are at 275.65 and 277.65 K (Delta T = 15.15 and 13.15 K). Formation of hydrates started at the cyclopentane-liquid water interface. Cloud-like, equiaxed skewed dendritic, equiaxed orthogonal dendritic, long dendritic, and cactus-like crystals could be observed for the experiments in the absence of surfactants. Rapid hydrate formation was observed for the experiments with 0.9 mL CP with or without the presence of surfactants compared to the experiments with 0.45 mL CP system at the same experimental conditions. The addition of SDS had led to a change in the hydrate crystal morphology, forming fiber-like crystals from the hydrate layer. Hydrates had also shown affinity to metal surfaces and tend to grow rapidly because of better heat transfer capacity. Gas uptake measurements were found to correlate well with the morphological observations. On the basis of the morphological observations, the mechanism of the CO2-H-2-CP system in an unstirred system is presented.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.558

Water conversion of up to 36% was achieved with silica sand bed compared to 13% conversion in the silica gel bed. Effect of driving force on the rate of hydrate formation and gas consumption was significant in silica sand bed whereas it was found to be insignificant in silica gel bed. Hydrate dissociation experiments by thermal stimulation (at constant pressure) alone and a combination of depressurization and thermal stimulation were carried out for complete recovery of the hydrated gas. A driving force of 23 K was found to be sufficient to recover all the hydrated gas within 1 h.

Silica sand was used as a medium to capture CO2 from CO2/H-2 gas mixture by hydrate crystallisation. Experiments were performed at different temperatures (274.2 K and 279.2 K) and 6.0 MPa to determine the total gas uptake, induction time and rate of hydrate formation. The observed trends indicated that higher driving force resulted in higher gas consumption and significantly reduced induction time. For the same driving force, higher gas consumption and shorter induction time was achieved by THF as compared to TBAB. 5.53 mol% THF attained higher gas consumption than 1.0 mol% THF whereas 3.0 mol% TBAB attained lower gas consumption than 0.3 mol% TBAB. A highest gas uptake of 51.95 (+/- 5.183) mmol of gas/mol of water and a highest rate of 51.21(+/- 8.91) mol.min(-1).m(-3) were obtained for 5.53 mol% THF at 6.0 MPa and 279.2 K.

Improving hydrogen storage capacity to meet DOE targets has been challenging and research efforts are continuously put forth to achieve the set targets and to make hydrogen storage a commercially realizable process. This review comprehensively summarizes the state of the art experimental work conducted on the storage of hydrogen as hydrogen clathrates both at the molecular level and macroscopic level. It identifies future directions and challenges for this exciting area of research. Hydrogen storage capacities of different clathrate structures - sI, sII, sH, sVI and semi clathrates have been compiled and presented. In addition, promising new approaches for increasing hydrogen storage capacity have been described. Future directions for achieving increased hydrogen storage and process scale up have been outlined. Despite few limitations in storing hydrogen in the form of clathrates, this domain receives prominent attention due to more environmental-friendly method of synthesis, easy recovery of molecular hydrogen with minimum energy requirement, and improved safety of the process.

In this study, the impact of experimental pressure and temperature on formation of mixed CO2-H-2-TBANO(3) semiclathrate hydrate for the optimum 1.0 mol% TBANO(3) reported by Babu et al. [1] was investigated. Experimental pressures of 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0 MPa and temperatures of 274.2, 276.2 and 278.2 K were employed. Irrespective of the experimental pressure, shorter induction time was observed for experiments conducted at 274.2 K when compared to the experiments at other temperatures. At a given pressure, the total gas uptake increased with increase in experimental temperature. Similarly at a given temperature, the total gas uptake increases with an increase in pressure. Higher rate of hydrate formation was observed at experimental pressure of 6.0 MPa than at 3.0 and 4.5 MPa irrespective of the experimental temperature. The CO2 composition in hydrate was between 87.5 and 93.2 mol%. Finally, the gas consumption for 1.0 mol% TBANO(3) as promoter was much higher than other promoters of quaternary salts like tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide and tetra-n-butyl ammonium fluoride at comparable concentration and driving force.

In addition to CO2 and N-2, flue gas from coal-based thermal power stations can contain impurities such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and fly ash. In this work, the impact of fly ash on the HBGS process efficiency was investigated. Tetrahydrofuran (THF, 1 mol %) was used as a thermodynamic promoter, and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS) (anionic surfactants) were used as kinetic promoters. Whereas the use of THF in the HBGS process reduces the operating pressure significantly, both SDS and SDBS were found to enhance the rate of hydrate formation. It was observed that the hydrate equilibrium conditions did not change in the presence of fly ash. However, the presence of fly ash enhanced the separation efficiency of the HBGS process by reducing the induction time and increasing the kinetics of hydrate formation. Therefore, the presence of fly ash in a flue gas mixture is not detrimental to the HBGS process, which is a positive factor for the capture and geological sequestration of CO2 in the form of gas hydrates.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.17</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Babu, Ponnivalavan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chin, Weng Inn</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kumar, Rajnish</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Linga, Praveen</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yan, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lee, D.

Tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) is a promoter that has been shown to improve the efficiency of hydrate formation. In this study, the effect of temperature and pressure on 0.3 mol% TBAB solution is investigated. The induction time for the experiments conducted at 6.0 MPa and 274.8 K was found to be lower, while nucleation became increasingly random as temperature is increased and pressure is reduced. Total gas uptake and normalized rate of hydrate formation (NR5) is also the highest for the experiments conducted at 6.0 MPa and 274.8 K. However, it was found that the hydrate phase CO2 composition remains relatively constant at both reduced temperatures and pressures. (C) 2014 The Authors.

New hydrate phase equilibrium data for fuel gas (CO2/H-2) mixture in presence of TBANO(3) of various concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.7 mol % was determined and presented. Heat of hydrate dissociation was calculated using Clausius-Clapeyron equation and as the concentration of TBANO(3) increases, the heat of hydrate dissociation also increases. Kinetic performance of TBANO(3) as a promoter at different concentrations was evaluated at 6.0 MPa and 274.2 K. Based on induction time, gas uptake, separation factor, hydrate phase CO2 composition, and rate of hydrate growth, 1.0 mol % TBANO(3) solution was found to be the optimum concentration at the experimental conditions of 6.0 MPa and 274.2 K for gas hydrate formation. A 93.0 mol % CO2 rich stream can be produced with a gas uptake of 0.0132 mol of gas/mol of water after one stage of hydrate formation in the presence of 1.0 mol % TBANO(3) solution.

Based on morphology study we observed that propane as a co-guest has the ability to draw water dispersed in silica sand to the hydrate formation region and showed a tendency to result in drastic hydrate growth due to the migration of water molecules to the gas phase region. Hydrate nucleation occurred in the interstitial pore space between the silica sand particles and hydrate growth occurred in the gas phase above the silica sand bed and to sustain the hydrate growth, dispersed water was drawn towards the hydrate growth front. In addition, we elucidated the effect of sand bed height to maximize the growth rates utilizing this behavior that results in enhanced kinetics. We propose conceptual designs for utilizing this behavior of propane as a co-guest in sand for seawater desalination and an innovative approach to simultaneously capture carbon dioxide and desalinate seawater.

A thorough assessment of the thermodynamic, kinetic factors and economic aspects of the HBGS process and critical comments are presented. Compared with competing technologies, high CO2 capacity and the use of water as a solvent are key advantages for the HBGS process for CO2 capture.

In this work, we study the formation and decomposition kinetics of methane hydrates (MH) in a laboratory-scale unstirred crystallizer. The present investigation demonstrates comparative studies of hydrate formation and dissociation kinetics in the presence of tetrahydrofuran (55.6 and 27.8mmol/mol, 5.56 and 2.78mol% THF) and sodium dodecyl sulphate (1mg/g, 0.1wt% SDS). Moreover, the storage capacity and hydrate formation kinetics in both the systems are discussed. In a recent work, enhanced methane hydrate growth in the presence of THF at close to atmospheric conditions was demonstrated. The emphasis of the current work is to study the stability of hydrates to understand dissociation kinetics by measuring the rate of hydrate decomposition at different temperatures. Hydrate stability measurements were performed at -8, -3, 2, 10, and 20 degrees C to study the decomposition rates of MH and self-preservation in presence of the two additives THF and SDS.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.066</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Veluswamy, Hari Prakash</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kumar, Sharad</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kumar, Rajnish</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rangsunvigit, Pramoch</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Linga, Praveen</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enhanced clathrate hydrate formation kinetics at near ambient temperatures and moderate pressures: Application to natural gas storage</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fuel</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Methane hydrates</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Natural gas storage</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rapid kinetics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">surfactant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tetrahydrofuran</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Unstirred reactor</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OCT</style></date></pub-dates></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCI LTD</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">182</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">907-919</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;SNG (solidified natural gas) technology via clathrate hydrates is a potential method for large scale stationary storage of natural gas. Clathrate hydrate formation kinetics in presence of methane and 5.6 mol% tetrahydrofuran (THF) was investigated in an unstirred reactor configuration at moderate pressure and temperature conditions. It is well known that the presence of THF generally improves the thermodynamic stability of the resulting hydrate. In order to study the scale-up potential of this approach, kinetics of hydrate growth at temperatures close to ambient conditions and moderate pressures is required. Hydrate formation experiments were performed at three different temperatures - 283.2 K, 288.2 K and 293.2 K and at experimental pressures of 7.2 MPa, 5.0 and 3.0 MPa. Further, we report a synergistic effect of kinetic promotion of mixed methane hydrate formation by coupling THF and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) at 293.2 K. For the first time, we observe rapid mixed methane/THF hydrate formation kinetics at 293.2 K in presence of just 100 ppm sodium dodecyl sulfate surfactant with methane gas uptake of 3.45 (+/- 0.17) kmol/m(3) of water in 1 h. This is also the first study to demonstrate such rapid hydrate formation kinetics with significant methane storage capacity at temperature of 293.2 K (closer to the ambient temperature). Further, substantial methane gas uptake of 3.52 (+/- 0.13) kmol/m(3) of water is possible even at reduced experimental pressure of 3.0 MPa and 283.2 K in 2 h. Minimal energy requirement in an unstirred reactor for mixed methane/THF hydrate formation storage can propel the SNG technology for large scale commercial deployment. Further improvement in the process can be achieved by optimizing the cooling requirement through innovative reactor design and operating the process in a semi-batch or continuous mode.

Mixed tetrahydrofuran (THF)-methane (CH4) hydrates offer a paradigm shift to milder storage conditions and faster hydrate formation kinetics, providing a promising scenario to scale up the SNG technology. In this work, we synthesize mixed THF-CH4 hydrates in a high pressure microdifferential scanning calorimeter (HP mu-DSC) to elucidate the two-step hydrate formation mechanism of mixed THF-CH4 hydrate identifying the synergism between THF and CH4. Heat flow change during hydrate formation and dissociation of mixed THF-CH4 hydrates formed in the presence of 5.56 mol % THF (stoichiometric composition) were monitored. The two step-mechanism of mixed THF-CH4 hydrate formation was further confirmed by the pressure-temperature profile and visual observations with a sample volume scale -up of about 350 times that of mu-DSC experiments.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">51</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.509</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Veluswamy, Hari Prakash</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wong, Alison Jia Hui</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Babu, Ponnivalavan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kumar, Rajnish</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kulprathipanja, Santi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rangsunvigit, Pramoch</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Linga, Praveen</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rapid methane hydrate formation to develop a cost effective large scale energy storage system</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemical Engineering Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Energy storage</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enhanced kinetics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gas hydrates</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Natural gas storage</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tetrahydrofuran</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Unstirred tank reactor</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APR</style></date></pub-dates></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PO BOX 564, 1001 LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">290</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">161-173</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Natural gas (NG) is the cleanest burning fossil fuel and its usage can significantly reduce CO2 emissions from power plants. With its widespread use, there is an ever increasing need to develop technologies to store NG on a large scale. NG storage via clathrate hydrates is the best option for a large scale storage system because of its non-explosive nature, mild storage conditions, high volumetric capacity and being an environmentally benign process. In this work, we demonstrate a new method to achieve rapid methane hydrate formation in an unstirred tank reactor configuration (UTR) at moderate temperature and pressure conditions employing tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a promoter. For the first time, THF is reported to act both as a thermodynamic and an excellent kinetic promoter for methane hydrate formation. We demonstrate a multi-scale experimental validation of our method to a volumetric sample scale-up factor of 120 and internal reactor diameter scale-up factor of 10. Further, new insights on the dissociation behavior of the hydrates are reported. There is a competitive edge for storing NG via clathrate hydrates compared to compressed natural gas storage both in terms of cost and safety. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
