Enrichment of gas storage in clathrate hydrates by optimizing the molar liquid water-gas ratio.

Natural gas (NG) is considered a modern source of energy. Gas hydrates are anticipated to be an alternative method for gas storage and transportation applications. The process must be handy, rapid, and proficient for scale-up.

Explicating the amino acid effects for methane storage in hydrate form.

Methane emissions increase day by day into the atmosphere and influence global temperatures. The necessity to capture these emissions at the source point is a primary concern. Several methods/techniques are being adopted to capture these emissions.

Inhibition of Methane Hydrates Using Biodegradable Additives.

Prevention of hydrate plugs during transportation of oil and natural gas in the pipeline network is challenging. Certain additives are often introduced into the process to eliminate/delay plug formation. Dominantly synthetic inhibitors are deployed in large volumes (∼20 to 30% by volume) to counter the problem and are highly expensive and, in some circumstances, toxic.

Storage of Methane Gas in the Form of Clathrates in the Presence of Natural Bioadditives.

Methane (CH) and carbon dioxide (CO), the important greenhouse gases, are capable of forming clathrate hydrates under some suitable thermodynamic conditions. The gas storage capacity of these materials is high, and therefore they are often useful in gas storage applications. Certain expensive and toxic chemicals are employed to accelerate/decelerate the process.

Self-preservation and Stability of Methane Hydrates in the Presence of NaCl.

Gas hydrate, a solid transformed from an ensemble of water and gaseous molecules under suitable thermodynamic conditions, is present in marine and permafrost strata. The ability of methane hydrates to exist outside of its standard stability zone is vital in many aspects, such as its utility in gas storage and transportation, hydrate-related climate changes and gas reservoirs on the planet. A systematic study on the stability of methane hydrates divulges that the gas uptake decreased by about 10% by increasing the NaCl content to 5.

Clathrate Hydrates of Greenhouse Gases in the Presence of Natural Amino Acids: Storage, Transportation and Separation Applications.

Storage of greenhouse gases in the form of gas hydrates is attractive and is being pursued rigorously in recent times. However, slow formation rate and inefficient water to hydrate conversion are the main hindering factors. In this report, we examine the role of two amino acids (0.
