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.

<p>Power plants emit large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere primarily through the combustion of fossil fuels, leading to accumulation of increased greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere. Global climate changing has led to increasing global mean temperatures, particularly over the poles, which threatens to melt gas hydrate reservoirs, releasing previously trapped methane and exacerbating the situation.  Here we used gas hydrate-based technologies to develop techniques for capturing and storing CO<sub>2</sub> present in power plant flue gas as stable hydrates, where CO<sub>2</sub> replaces methane within the hydrate structure. First, we experimentally measured the thermodynamic properties of various flue gases, followed by modelling and tuning the equations of state. Second, we undertook proof of concept investigations of the injection of CO2 flue gas into methane gas hydrate reservoirs as an option for economically sustainable production of natural gas as well as carbon capture and storage. The optimum injection conditions were found and reaction kinetics was investigated experimentally under realistic conditions. Third, the kinetics of flue gas hydrate formation for both the geological storage of CO<sub>2</sub> and the secondary sealing of CH<sub>4</sub>/CO<sub>2</sub> release in one simple process was investigated, followed by a comprehensive investigation of hydrate formation kinetics using a highly accurate in house developed experimental apparatus, which included an assessment of the gas leakage risks associated with above processes.  Finally, the impact of the proposed methods on permeability and mechanical strength of the geological formations was investigated.</p>

In order to explore the method of accelerating hydration separation process to recover methane from mine gas, propane hydrate phase equilibrium was used to measure the equilibrium points of three kinds of mine gas in NaCl solution. Driving force was set as 1 MPa on this basis and high-pressure experimental apparatus of mine gas hydrate was used to carry out the nucleation kinetics experiments of mine gas hydrate for three gas samples in different concentrations of sodium chloride (NaCl) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) compound systems, which was to study the effect of propane and NaCl-SDS solution on nucleation process of mine gas hydrate. The results showed that induction time of multicomponent mine gas hydrate formation was shortened with the decrease of methane concentration and increase of propane concentration. The induction time of mine gas hydrate formation was shortened with the reduction of NaCl concentration and the increase of SDS concentration. It was found that methane and propane in multicomponent mine gas nucleated collaboratively, which simplified its nucleation process compared with the single component. NaCl has two kinds of functions.

The Impact

Abstract Nanofluids are known of having the capability to increase heat and mass transfer and their suitability to be used as kinetic gas hydrate promoters have been recently investigated. They have favorable properties such as high thermal conductivity, large surface area, recyclable, ecofriendly, and relatively cheap that are favorable for kinetic gas hydrate promoters. However, the nanomaterials face challenges related to their stability in the base fluid. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the impact of surfactant free nanofluid on hydrate formation and dissociation kinetics. In this work, COOH-MWCNT suspended in water is used to study the effect of surfactant free nanofluid on CO2 hydrates formation kinetic and stability. Kinetic study on CO2 hydrates formation as well as self-preservation are conducted in a stirred tank reactor. The kinetic experiments are carried out at 2.7 MPa and 274.15 K. The induction time, initial gas consumption rate, half-completion time t50, semi completion time t95 are measured to evaluate the effect of COOH-MWCNT. Furthermore, the dissociation rate was calculated to assess the impact of COOH-MWCNT on self-preservation at 271.15 K and atmospheric pressure. The results are compared with that of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). The study of CO2 hydrates formation kinetic shows that the induction time is not affected by COOH-MWCNT. The impact of nanofluid is more pronounced during the hydrate growth. The initial formation rate is the highest at 0.01 wt% of COOH-MWCNT whereas 0.01 and 0.03 wt% shows the same and shortest t50. However, t95 found to be decreased with increasing the concentration. The effect of COOH-MWCNT is attributed to the strong functional group. Self-preservation results shows CO2 hydrates are less stable in the presence of COOH-MWCNT. The result of this work may provide significant finding that can be used to developed kinetic gas hydrate promoter based on nanofluid that work better than SDS to eliminate gas hydrate formation in oil and gas pipeline.
