AbstractA vast source of methane is found in gas hydrate deposits, which form naturally dispersed throughout ocean sediments and arctic permafrost. Methane may be obtained from hydrates by exchange with hydrocarbon byproduct carbon dioxide. It is imperative for the development of safe methane extraction and carbon dioxide sequestration to understand how methane and carbon dioxide co-occupy the same hydrate structure. Pair distribution functions (PDFs) provide atomic-scale structural insight into intermolecular interactions in methane and carbon dioxide hydrates. We present experimental neutron PDFs of methane, carbon dioxide and mixed methane-carbon dioxide hydrates at 10 K analyzed with complementing classical molecular dynamics simulations and Reverse Monte Carlo fitting. Mixed hydrate, which forms during the exchange process, is more locally disordered than methane or carbon dioxide hydrates. The behavior of mixed gas species cannot be interpolated from properties of pure compounds, and PDF measurements provide important understanding of how the guest composition impacts overall order in the hydrate structure.

An explicit water molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is presented of a solution modeling aliphatic 6,6-ionene oligocations mixed with low-molecular-weight electrolytes. In all cases, the co-ions were sodium cations and the counterions were fluoride, chloride, bromide, or iodide anions. The simple point charge/extended (SPC/E) model was used to describe water. The results of the simulation at T = 278 K (the data for 298 K were obtained earlier) and T = 318 K are presented in the form of pair distributions between various atoms and/or between ions in the system. We were interested in how temperature variation modifies the ion-specific effects, revealed by the various pair distribution functions (PDFs). The results were compared with previous calculations for the less hydrophobic 3,3-ionene solutions. Simulations of 6,6-ionene solutions containing mixtures of fluoride and iodide counter-ions at T = 298 K were also presented.
