Abstract:The hydrophobic effect of hydrate
formation well explains the enhancement
effect of a hydrophobic solid surface on hydrate formation and might
be extended to the hydrophobic traditional surfactant, amino acids,
and oligosaccharides. However, in situ observations are still lacking
to support such extension. In this study, we investigated the effect
of the addition of 0–1.0 wt % β-cyclodextrins (β-CD)
on methane hydrate formation by microscopic observations and in situ
Raman quantitative technique. Our hydrate n… Show more
