Enhanced clathrate hydrate formation at ambient temperatures (287.2 K) and near atmospheric pressure (0.1 MPa): Application to solidified natural gas technology

Lingjie Sun et al.

Summary: This study utilizes R141b as a thermodynamic promoter to enhance methane hydrate formation under mild conditions, significantly reducing the phase equilibrium boundary and forming R141b-CH4 mixed hydrate at 0.1 MPa and 287.2 K. It provides evidence of a new promoter that can be alternatively used for the storage and transport of natural gas, offering milder storage conditions and lower costs compared to liquefied natural gas.

Effects of depressurization on gas production and water performance from excess-gas and excess-water methane hydrate accumulations

Lunxiang Zhang et al.

Summary: Depressurization is considered the most promising technique for hydrate exploitation, but excessive water production during the exploitation of hydrate accumulations poses challenges. Water management is crucial for gas recovery from different types of hydrate accumulations. Synthetic hydrate samples were used to simulate natural methane hydrate sediments, and MRI imaging was employed to characterize water performance and methane recovery. The study suggests that an optimized depressurization approach can improve methane recovery.

An In-Situ MRI Method for Quantifying Temperature Changes during Crystal Hydrate Growths in Porous Medium

Zhang Lunxiang et al.

Summary: In this study, real-time observation of the temperature changes during the formation of tetrahydrofuran hydrates was conducted using an MRI system. The results showed significant spatial and temporal differences in temperature, which could have important implications in optimizing the phase transition process of gas hydrates.

Xenon and Krypton Dissolved in Water Form Nanoblobs: No Evidence for Nanobubbles

Angela M. Jaramillo-Granada et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that krypton and xenon can form nanostructured water-gas domains, which possess similar characteristics to nanobubbles but exhibit neutral buoyancy. These nano objects are believed to be blobs rather than bubbles, serving as clathrate-hydrate precursors.

Gas supersaturation and diffusion joint controlled CH4 nanobubble evolution during hydrate dissociation

Cong Chen et al.

Summary: The characteristics of CH4 nanobubbles during NGHs dissociation vary with hydrate dissociation temperature, with higher temperatures leading to earlier bubble nucleation and more complex evolution paths. Gas supersaturation and CH4 molecule diffusion govern the evolution of CH4 nanobubbles, with nanobubbles more likely to form outside the adsorption zone at lower temperatures where CH4 diffusion coefficient is larger.

Behaviors of CH4 hydrate formation in cold seeps with underlying gas plume

Xianwei Guo et al.

Summary: Gas hydrates can occur on the seafloor, coexisting with bubbling gas in cold seeps. The study found that enhanced gas-water contact due to gas flow can lead to universal hydrate nucleation throughout sedimentary matrices. Higher gas flow rates and formation pressures can result in faster hydrate formation, emphasizing the importance of sufficient gas-water contact in the process.

Molecular dynamics simulation and in-situ MRI observation of organic exclusion during CO2 hydrate growth

Lunxiang Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that organic macromolecules cannot be trapped in the hydrate structure but instead form a concentration gradient of dissolved organic substances during hydrate formation. This demonstrates the potential of hydrate-based technology for organic wastewater treatment.

Long-Term Stability of Different Kinds of Gas Nanobubbles in Deionized and Salt Water

Yali Zhou et al.

Summary: This study prepared five types of nanobubbles using the hydrodynamic cavitation method, and investigated their long-term stability in deionized water and salt solution. Nanobubbles showed good stability in deionized water but tended to be unstable in salt solution. The size variation and stability of nanobubbles were closely related to their interaction between bubbles.

Hydrate Formation on Marine Seep Bubbles and the Implications for Water Column Methane Dissolution

X. Fu et al.

Summary: Methane released from seafloor seeps can form crystalline gas hydrate shells, which reduce methane dissolution rates and allow the methane to reach shallower depths in the water column. Bubbles released rapidly from the seafloor are often hydrate-free, while bubbles that slow in growth can develop a hydrate coating, containing more methane and dissolving at different rates as they rise through the water column.

Molecular simulations on the stability and dynamics of bulk nanobubbles in aqueous environments

Yi Lu et al.

Summary: Nanobubbles exhibit stability and diffusion that are influenced by their internal pressure and size, impacting the solubility of methane molecules in water and ultimately affecting their stability. Smaller nanobubbles show higher mobility but are also prone to coalescence, necessitating a critical distance to prevent merging.
