Microbubble technology is now gathering much interest in industrial fields for its excellent gas-dissolving
ability. This study was the first trial in using microbubbles in hydrate formation, and it has been demonstrated
that a microbubble system is a promising method for hydrate formation for two reasons: (1) its excellent
gas-dissolution ability and (2) its ability to make the conditions of hydrate nucleation more mild due to the
microbubbles' property of increasing interior gas pressure while decreasing in size under water.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
