Abstract:Abiotic methane (CH4) and hydrogen (H2), which are produced during marine serpentinization, provide abundant gas source for hydrate formation on ocean floor. However, previous models of CH4–H2 hydrate formation have generally focused on pure water environments and have not considered the effects of salinity. In this study, the van der Waals–Platteeuw model, which considered the effects of salinity on the chemical potentials of CH4, H2, and H2O, was applied in a marine serpentinization environment. The model us… Show more
