In this study, the kinetics of flue gas hydrate formation in bulk water in the presence of selected amino acids and surfactants are investigated. Four amino acids (3000 ppm) are selected based on different hydropathy index. Constant-ramping and isothermal experiments at 120 bar pressure and 1 °C temperature are carried out to compare their hydrate promotion capabilities with surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) (500–3000 ppm) and water. Based on experimental results, we report the correlation between hydrate promotion capability of amino acids and their hydrophobicity. Hydrophobic amino acids show stronger flue gas hydrate promotion capability than water and hydrophilic amino acids. We discuss the controlling mechanisms to differentiate between promoters and inhibitors’ roles among the amino acids. Between 2000–3000 ppm concentrations, hydrophobic amino acids have near similar promotion capabilities as SDS. This research highlights the potential use of amino acids as promoters or inhibitors for various applications.

Gas hydrates are nonstoichiometric nano-structured crystalline compounds which are stabilized by gas molecules incorporated in the cages made of hydrogen bonding of water molecules at suitable thermodynamic conditions. The gas hydrate as a technology has been successful for several potential applications in various engineering fields, such as, gas separation, carbon dioxide sequestration, gas storage and transportation, desalination of salt water and wastewater treatment. Recently, metal-based nanofluids are considered as interesting kinetic promoter candidates for accelerating formation of gas hydrates. Although organic-based kinetic promoters are widely studied for the rapid formation of gas hydrates, research of a new material system is still a challenge. In this study, Silver (Ag) nanofluids as kinetic promoter of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) hydrate were prepared by electrical explosion of pure metal wire in deionized water. The kinetics of SF6 gas hydrates were evaluated with different concentration of Ag nanofluids at condition of 276 K and 0.7 MPa, respectively. The Ag nanofluids, as kinetic nano-prompter, showed excellent effect on the formation of SF6 hydrates.
