“…The graphite particles are composed of many flat carbon sheets (graphenes) that can provide heterogeneous sites for both ice and hydrate nucleation [43]. Other studies using nanoparticules can also be found, but not in presence of CP [162][163][164]. Nanofluids enhance crystallization kinetics as well [165].…”

This article presents a systematic review on the past developments of Hydrate-Based Desalination process using Cyclopentane as hydrate guest. This is the first review that covers all required fundamental data, such as multiphase equilibria data, kinetics, morphology, or physical properties of cyclopentane hydrates, in order to develop an effective and sustainable desalination process. Furthermore, this state-of-the-art describes research and commercialization perspectives. When compared to traditional applications, cyclopentane hydrate-based desalination process could be a promising solution. Indeed, it operates under normal atmospheric pressure, lower operation energies are required, etc… However, there are some challenges yet to overcome. A decision aid in the form of a diagram is proposed for a new cyclopentane hydrates-based desalination process. Hopefully, concepts reviewed in this study will suggest new ideas to advance technical solutions in order to make commercial hydrate-based desalination processes a reality.

This study evaluates the kinetic hydrate inhibition (KHI) performance of four quaternary ammonium hydroxides (QAH) on mixed CH4 + CO2 hydrate systems. The studied QAHs are; tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH), tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH), tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAOH), and tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPrAOH). The test was performed in a high-pressure hydrate reactor at temperatures of 274.0 K and 277.0 K, and a concentration of 1 wt.% using the isochoric cooling method. The kinetics results suggest that all the QAHs potentially delayed mixed CH4 + CO2 hydrates formation due to their steric hindrance abilities. The presence of QAHs reduced hydrate formation risk than the conventional hydrate inhibitor, PVP, at higher subcooling conditions. The findings indicate that increasing QAHs alkyl chain lengths increase their kinetic hydrate inhibition efficacies due to better surface adsorption abilities. QAHs with longer chain lengths have lesser amounts of solute particles to prevent hydrate formation. The outcomes of this study contribute significantly to current efforts to control gas hydrate formation in offshore petroleum pipelines.

“…Nanofluid is actually a stable dispersion formed by nanoparticles dispersed homogeneously in an aqueous phase. Nanofluid is considered an excellent hydrate reaction medium based on its superior mass transfer and heat transfer properties (Li et al, 2017;Nashed et al, 2018). The behaviors of nanoparticles in nanofluid that promote hydrate formation are as follows.…”

“…A review by Veluswamy et al (2018) documented and discussed in detail the different materials applied for methane hydrate formation, e.g., silica gel, dry water, dry gel, sand, zeolite, and hollow silica, which are used as a fixed bed for hydrate reaction. Another review conducted by Nashed et al (2018) shed light on the nanomaterials for gas hydrate formation, where various metal-based particles, like nano-Ag, Cu, CuO, and ZnO were discussed, and it was concluded that nanoparticles not only could help to promote mass transfer but they could also contribute to heat transfer enhancement in the hydrate reaction. Additionally, some non-metal materials such as silica nanoparticles (Wang et al, 2019), graphene (Wang et al, 2017), and carbon nanotubes (Pasieka et al, 2014) exhibited excellent performance in promoting gas storage capacities and hydrate formation rate.…”

Enhancement of Clathrate Hydrate Formation Kinetics Using Carbon-Based Material Promotion

Although hydrate-based technology has been considered as a safe and environmentally friendly approach for gas storage and transportation in recent decades, there are still inherent problems during hydrate production, such as a long induction time, slow formation kinetics, and limited hydrate storage capacity. Attempts to resolve these issues have resulted in the development of various kinetics promoters, among which carbon-based materials have become one of the most attractive owing to their unique promotion effect. Herein, results on promotion by bulk wetted carbon materials in the forms of a packed bed, carbon particles in a suspension, and nano-carbon materials in a nanofluid are collected from the published literature. Meanwhile, the promotion mechanisms and influencing factors of the carbon-based promoters are discussed. The purpose of this mini-review is to summarize recent advances and highlight the prospects and future challenges for the use of carbon-based materials in hydrate production.
