Methane hydrate formation experiments were carried out in a stirred tank reactor setup at pressure and temperature conditions of 274.15 K and 5.0 MPa respectively. Two different concentrations (0.1 and 1 wt %) of L-histidine were studied. Hydrate growth through molecular dynamic (MD) simulation was also studied; pressure and temperature conditions for the simulations were set at 10.0 MPa and 270.0 K, while the concentration of L-histidine was kept fixed at 0.94 wt %. Hydrate formation runs using MD simulation were carried out with optimal concentration of methane in water. The presence of L-histidine in the system was found to significantly enhance methane hydrate growth kinetics as compared to pure water for both experimental and MD simulation runs. Final gas consumption with 1 wt % L-histidine was found to be comparable to that with 1 wt % SDS, the most commonly used additive for hydrate promotion studies. L-histidine is a benign additive which offers considerable enhancement in methane hydrate formation kinetics and can be utilized for various hydrate based technologies such as methane storage and transport.

In this study, we intend to understand the molecular mechanism behind the effect of SDS on the formation of methane hydrate through molecular dynamics simulation. Hydrate formation conditions similar to that of laboratory experiments were chosen to study hydrate growth kinetics in 1 wt % SDS solution. We also investigate the effect of interactions with isolated SDS molecules on methane hydrate growth. It was observed that the hydrophobic tail part of the SDS molecule favorably interacts with the growing hydrate surface and may occupy the partial hydrate cages while the head groups remain exposed to water.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25</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%">&lt;p&gt;3.177&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
