Method of gas hydrate formation for evaluation of water desalination

Mechanical properties of clathrate hydrates: status and perspectives

“…29 This puts forward an attractive application prospect for hydrate technology, to be used in natural gas and hydrogen storage and transportation, [30][31][32] CO 2 capture and geological burial, 33,34 gas separation, 35 cold-storage, 36 and desalination of sea water. 37 Probably, people could even make hydrate-based medicine plasters or pills for treating skin disease or internal illness, for example gastropathy. To some extent, the activity in gas hydrate research can be seen as a country's scientific and technological ambition to contribute to sustainable development.…”

Water desalination using R141b gas hydrate formation

“…The hydration methods for desalination of seawater have been studied for the past 50 years considering the capability of gas hydrates to form a solid substance consisting of distilled water and hydrate former [7,8]. Gas hydrate formation as a novel method to produce potable water from seawater was proposed in 1940 and received significant attention in 1960s and 1970.…”

Removal of HFC-134a from Brackish Water Using a Semi Batch Jet Loop Reactor

“…Recently, refrigerants, such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), have drawn much attention as a guest gas due to their mild operating temperature (10 • C at the atmospheric pressure). However, during the process where brackish water is produced by thermal dissociation of gas hydrates, most refrigerants are separated, but some reside in the product water because of their solubility in water [3]. Thus, there is a need for an additional method to remove refrigerants in product water and discard any potential harm to produce potable water.…”
