A型分子筛对甲烷水合物生成的影响

The porous medium has an important effect on hydrate formation. In this paper, the formation process and the gas storage capacity of the methane hydrate were investigated with A-type zeolite and Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) existing in the system. The results show that A-type zeolite can influence methane hydrate formation. At the temperature of 273.5 K and pressure of 8.3 MPa, the distilled water with A-type zeolite can form methane hydrate with gaseous methane in 12 hours. The formation process of the system with A-type zeolite was quite steady and the amount of A-type zeolite can influence the gas storage capacity significantly. The adding of A-type zeolite with 0.067 g•(g water)－1 into 2×10－3 g•g－1 SDS-water solution can increase the gas storage capacity, and the maxi-mum increase rate was 31%. Simultaneously the promotion effect on hydrate formation of 3A-type zeolite is much more obvious than that of 5A-type zeolite when the water adding amounts are 0.033 g•g－1 and 0.067 g•g－1 at the experimental conditions.

提高水合物生成速率和储气密度对天然气水合物技术应用非常重要。将三种孔密度的泡沫铜（CF）分别浸入十二烷基硫酸钠（SDS）溶液中构建水合储气强化体系,在高压静态反应釜中研究泡沫金属对甲烷水合物生成动力学特性。实验结果表明,泡沫铜骨架能为水合物生成提供充足的结晶点,同时可作为水合物生长过程水合热迁移的“高速公路”。甲烷水合物在SDS/CF体系中可快速生成,最大水合储气速率分布在19.24~21.04 mmol·mol^-1·min^-1之间,其中添加15 PPI泡沫铜的SDS溶液储气量最高（139 mmol·mol^-1）,且达到最大储气量90%所用时间最短（10.1 min）。在6.0~8.0 MPa压力下,相比SDS溶液,添加15 PPI泡沫铜的SDS溶液储气量提高了8.8%~35.6%,储气速率提高了4.7%~40.4%;特别在压力为5.0 MPa时,该孔密度SDS/CF体系储气量甚至比SDS溶液增加13倍,储气速率增加16倍。     

Induction time,storage capacity,and rate of methane hydrate formation in the presence of SDS and silver nanoparticles

In this communication, the kinetic parameters of methane hydrate formation (induction time, quantity and rate of gas uptake, storage capacity (SC), and apparent rate constant) in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), synthetized silver nanoparticles (SNPs), and mixture of SDS?+?SNPs have been studied. Experimental measurements were performed at temperature of 273.65?K and initial pressure of 7?MPa in a 460?cm³ stirred batch reactor. Our results show that adding SDS, SNPs and their mixture increases the quantity of gas uptake, water to hydrate conversion, and SC of methane hydrate formation, noticeably. Using 300?ppm SDS increases the SC and the quantity of methane uptake 615, and 770%, respectively, compared with pure water. Investigating the hydrate growth rate at the start of hydrate formation process shows that, using SNPs, SDS, and their mixture increases the initial apparent rate constant of hydrate rate, considerably. Our results show that the system of methane?+?water?+?SDS 500?ppm?+?SNPs 45?µM represents the maximum value of initial apparent rate constant, compared with other tested systems.     

表面活性剂吸附对促进甲烷水合物生成效果的影响

基于表面活性剂固-液界面吸附理论,在无搅拌条件下研究了十二烷基硫酸钠（SDS（、脂肪醇聚乙烯醚硫酸钠（AES（、脂肪醇聚乙烯醚（AEO（3种表面活性剂在不锈钢反应釜中对甲烷水合物生成的促进效果。结果表明：水合物的生成形态与表面活性剂吸附金属表面形态有良好的对应关系;SDS与AES在金属表面的吸附作用可使水合物成核速率提高,成核位置增多。由于AEO不能在金属壁面发生吸附,导致对水合物生成促进效果降低,在浓度为300 mg·L^-1的SDS、AES和AEO溶液中,水合物储气密度及平均储气速率分别为131.4、128.3、12.3（体积比（和5.8、7.6、0.07 mmol·min^-1;逐步提高SDS溶液浓度（80~1200 mg·L^-1（和AES溶液浓度（60~1350 mg·L^-1（,水合物储气密度首先增大然后减小,储气速率线性增大。因此,合理选择表面活性剂种类及浓度,可显著促进水合物生成。     

Effect of different surfactants on methane hydrate formation rate, stability and storage capacity

The effects of anionic surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and linear alkyl benzene sulfonate (LABS), cationic surfactant cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and non-ionic surfactant ethoxylated nonylphenol (ENP) on the formation, dissociation and storage capacity of methane hydrate have been investigated. Each surfactant was tested with 3 concentrations 300, 500 and 1000 ppm and it has been found that SDS, when prepared with these three concentrations speeds up the hydrate formation rate effectively. LABS increases the hydrate formation rate at 500 and 1000 ppm but decreases it at 300 ppm. CTAB and ENP have promotion effect on hydrate formation rate at 1000 ppm but decrease it at 300 and 500 ppm. Hydrate stability tests have been performed at three temperatures 268.2, 270.2 and 272.2 K with and without surfactant promoters. The results show that all tested additives increase the dissociation rate of methane hydrate below the ice point. CTAB has the minimum and LABS the maximum effect on the methane hydrate dissociation rate. Experimental results on hydrate gas content revealed that maximum storage capacity of 165 V/V is obtained with 1000 ppm of CTAB in water.     

Accelerated methane storage in clathrate hydrates using surfactantstabilized suspension with graphite nanoparticles

In this study, enhanced kinetics of methane hydrate formation in the sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) solution with different concentrations of suspended graphite nanoparticles(GNPs) were investigated at 6.1–9.0 MPa and 274.15 K. The GNPs with rough surfaces and excellent thermal conductivity not only provided a considerable number of microsites for hydrate nucleation but also facilitated the fast hydrate heat transfer in the suspension system. At a relatively low pressure of 6.1 MPa, the suspension with 0.4 wt% of GNPs exhibited the minimum induction time of 22 min and maximum methane uptake of 126.1 cm~3·cm~(-3). However, the methane storage performances of the suspensions with higher and lower concentrations of GNPs were not satisfactory. At the applied pressure, the temperature increase arising from the hydrate heat in the suspension system with the optimized concentration(0.4 wt%) of GNPs was more significant than that in the traditional SDS solution. Furthermore,compared with those of the system without GNPs, enhanced hydration rate and storage capacity were achieved in the suspensions with GNPs, and the storage capacities were increased by 3.9%–17.0%. The promotion effect of GNPs on gas hydrate formation at low pressure is much more obvious than that at high pressure.     

Dual Effect of Low‐Dosage Poly(Ethylene Oxides) on Methane Hydrate Formation

Time‐dependent isochoric formation of methane hydrate was investigated in the presence of low‐dose poly(ethylene oxides) (PEOs). The effect of different molecular weights of PEO on methane hydrate nucleation time and storage capacity was studied and compared. Kinetic measurements revealed a dual effect of PEO, including inhibition and stabilization effects, on methane hydrate formation. The nature and type of the effect arises from the difference in molecular weights and concentration ranges of PEOs. These parameters directly affect the nucleation time and storage capacity of methane hydrate. Generally, in comparison with pure water, PEO improved the storage capacity of methane hydrate. PEO (1000 kD) at a concentration of 0.5 wt % exhibits a significant kinetic inhibitory performance. However, it was an efficient low‐dosage hydrate stabilizer at a concentration of 0.25 wt %, along with producing gas‐rich methane hydrate suitable for gas fuel storage and transportation.     

高含水油包水乳液的水合物储气性能研究

油包水乳液是近年来新兴的一种水合强化材料,具有良好的水合储气潜力,但是为了保证乳液的稳定性,通常所用的油包水乳液含水量不超过50%。然而水合物的储气量与水含量密切相关,因此高含水的油包水乳液更具有应用前景。对含水量超过50%的油包水乳液进行了水合物的储甲烷研究,考察了乳化剂用量、初始压力及搅拌速率对储气性能的影响,最后考察了乳液的循环储气能力。结果表明：含水量超过55%后,含水量的增加会造成乳液液滴的增大,储气量的降低。乳液含水量为55%,复合乳化剂Span80 / Tween80（m_Tween80∶m_Span80=0.783∶1）用量5%（质量）（以水量为基准）的乳液最适合水合储气;初始压力的增加有利于水合储气性能的提高,但压力过高会造成水合物壳的快速形成,从而降低整体储气能力;适宜的搅拌速率有利于水合物的生成,过快或过慢都会引起水合速率的下降。本实验中最佳的乳液水合储气条件为：温度274.15 K、反应釜中气水体积比10∶1、甲烷初始压力6 MPa、搅拌速率700 r/min,在此条件下,储气量可达141.42 L 气/L 水。在此条件下进行循环储气实验证明该乳液具有良好的循环利用性,四次循环中储气量均在130 L 气/L 水以上。研究结果可为天然气储运以及含烃混合气分离提供技术参考。     

SDS对甲烷水合物生成动力学和微观结构的影响

表面活性剂是促进水合物生成的有效手段之一。在高压反应釜中研究了十二烷基硫酸钠（SDS）对水合物生成过程的动力学影响,利用XRD和拉曼光谱探究了SDS存在条件下水合物的微观结构。宏观结果表明SDS缩短了诱导时间,加快了水合物生长速率。微观结果表明SDS没有影响sI型水合物的晶型结构,晶面间距与理想sI型水合物及纯水甲烷对比误差在千分之几。水合物中甲烷在大笼小笼中的拉曼位移分别为2904和2915 cm^-1,SDS没有改变大笼小笼结构。大笼绝对占有率（q_L）接近饱和时,SDS可以进一步提高小笼绝对占有率（q_S）,从微观角度证明了SDS可以减少水合数,提高储气率。     

Static Formation and Dissociation of Methane+Methylcyclohexane Hydrate for Gas Hydrate Production and Regasification

The formation and decomposition of methane+methylcyclohexane (MCH) hydrate in a static batch reactor, which was also designed as a high‐pressure microwave reactor, were investigated. The addition of 300 ppm sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) provides continuous formation of CH₄+MCH hydrate under static conditions. Increasing the initial pressure within the narrow range of 2.7 to 4.6 MPa at 274 K enhances the formation rate by even several times. The gas storage capacity can be largely improved with partial coexisting of sI CH₄ hydrate. Unlike a stirred formation, an increase of nonaqueous MCH inhibits the static formation of sH hydrate. The following regasification by 2.45 GHz microwave heating indicates that the dissociation is rate‐controlled by the parallel connection of efficient internal heating and conventional external heating. The multiphase convection characterized by osmotic dehydration and driven by intensified regasification is considered as the dominant mechanism affecting the quiescent dissociation.     

Enhance hydrates formation with stainless steel fiber for high capacity methane storage

In order to realize efficient gas storage of hydrate, stainless steel fiber (SSF) was added to 0.03% (mass) sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution for gas storage experiment. SSF can not only improve the problem that hydration heat cannot be removed effectively in the hydration process, but also improve gas storage speed and gas storage by increasing hydrate nucleation sites. Under the experimental conditions (273.2 K, 5-9 MPa), the peaks of temperature rise in SDS + SSF systems were found to become much smaller than those in SDS systems. The maximum gas storage rate and the maximum methane uptake of SSF + SDS system reached 9.89-24.90 cm³·g^-1·min^-1 and 178.65-200.89 cm³·(g H₂O)^-1, respectively. Compared with the surfactant SDS solution without SSF, they increased by 10.47%-33.22% and 9.16%-25.36%, respectively. The effect of SSF length on gas storage performance was studied. Due to the continuous thermal conduction network, longer SSF showed a higher gas storage capacity and methane uptake rate compared with shorter SSF. At the same time, compared with other metal fillers, SSF + SDS not only had excellent gas storage performance, but also the amount of SSF (0.1 g·ml^-1) was only 7.6% of foamed aluminum, and the volume gas storage density was increased by 145.4%. The use of stainless steel fiber made the best use of the thermal conductivity of metal, reduced the amount of metal used, and improved the volume density and mass density of gas storage.

Direct measurement of formation and dissociation rate and storage capacity of dry water methane hydrates

Dry water (DW) has been recently demonstrated to be an effective medium for methane storage in a hydrated form. Here, a series of experiments have been carried out on dry water methane hydrates (DW-MH) to investigate their formation and dissociation rates, storage capacity and structural characteristics. The result shows that the storage capacity of MH increases at least 10% by using DW relative to using surfactants like sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution. Also, it is found that controls on pressure-temperature (P-T) condition have influences on the induction and reaction time of DW-MH formation, i. e. the induction and reaction time are much shorter when the reaction cell is cooled to ~ 3 °C first. On the basis of Raman spectra, the hydration number is calculated as 5.934 ± 0.06 at different positions of the DW-MH, which suggests that the sample is very homogeneous. The dissociation process of the DW-MH sample exhibits a rapid release of methane gas at the first stage of dissociation. Although hydrate dissociation is prevented by the effect of self preservation, most methane gas has released from the hydrate, however, before the self preservation occur.     

降低“固封”对甲烷水合物生成的影响

随着天然气的大量使用,其储存、运输及调峰越来越重要。天然气水合物在常压状态下具有高储存比,适合应用于天然气的储存、运输及调峰过程中。因此,对天然气水合物的生成研究具有重要意义。本文研究了如何大量生成水合物并保证水合物具有较高储气率的方法。在含聚乙烯吡络烷酮[PVP(K90)]的溶液中,改变PVP(K90)的质量分数、搅拌器的转速与搅拌器的类型,研究甲烷水合物生成量与水合物储气率的变化。结果表明,添加一定低质量分数的PVP(K90)和增加搅拌速度,均可以延迟水合物层的"固封"作用,增加水合物的生成量。在PVP(K90)质量分数高于2%时,生成水合物的密封性降低,水合物"固封"作用被破坏,但是水合物储气率较低。采用不同形式的搅拌杆,在旋转过程中形成空心圆柱,破坏水合物层的"固封"作用,搅拌杆附近的甲烷与水合物晶核被输送到溶液底部,增加了水合物的生成量,而且水合物的储气率较高。在水合物生成过程中,存在水合物微粒多次聚结的现象,使甲烷的消耗量迅速增加。

Effect of surfactant on the formation and dissociation kinetic behavior of methane hydrate

The effects of anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the formation/dissociation kinetic behaviors of methane hydrate have been studied experimentally, with an emphasis put on dissociation kinetic behavior below ice point. The experimental results on hydrate formation show that the formation rates of methane hydrate could be speeded up by adding SDS to water and a critical SDS concentration of 650 ppm corresponding to a maximum storage capacity of 170V/V is determined. The SDS concentrations are fixed at this value in preparing hydrate samples for all dissociation tests. The dissociation experiments have been performed in two ways, at atmospheric pressure where the dissociation rates are determined by measuring the accumulative evolved gas volume, and in a closed system where the dissociation rates are determined by measuring the increasing system pressure profiles. For comparison, the dissociation tests with respect to two different cases, with and without the presence of SDS, are done in parallel. The results from tests in the first way show that the presence of SDS increases the dissociation rate of methane hydrate in whole temperature region below ice point. The results for the second way are somewhat different. The presence of SDS increases the dissociation rate and meta-stable system pressure in temperature region lower than . But when temperature is equal to or higher than , SDS speeds up the dissociation process only in beginning period, it turns to suppress the dissociation of methane hydrate several hours later and leads to a lower meta-stable system pressure compared with the case of without SDS. The experiments in closed system also demonstrate that the dissociating system approaches a meta-stable state with a pressure much lower than equilibrium dissociation pressure.     

低剂量超吸水树脂溶液微滴中甲烷水合物生成动力学

高储气密度水合物的快速生成对气体水合物技术应用至关重要。将水与疏水性气相纳米二氧化硅和低剂量［0.1%~1.0%（质量）］的超吸水树脂在搅拌器中高速混合分散,制备出一种超吸水树脂改性的干水。该改性干水实质上是由高分子聚合物支撑且可自由流动的分散微滴堆。在8.0 MPa和274.2 K条件下,研究该改性微滴中甲烷水合物生成动力学特性。结果表明,松散的聚合物微滴极大地改善了液相连续水比表面积,为气体扩散至微滴表面提供了丰富的通道。水合物在聚合物微滴中快速生成,储气速率可达5.15~8.78 cm³·g^-1·min^-1,储气量高达158.0~175.0 cm³·g^-1。质量分数为0.3%的微滴表现出最快储存速率和最高储气量,且其循环水合储气过程中前6次储气量均超过120 cm³·g^-1。研究结果对水合物储运天然气技术规模化应用有一定的参考价值。

Experimental study on the scale-up effect of gas storage in the form of hydrate in a quiescent reactor

This paper presents the experimental study on the scale-up effect of natural gas storage in the form of hydrates in a quiescent reactor. The hydrate formation experiments with respect to gas storage in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) were initially performed in a 10 L reactor to study the scale-up effect by adjusting the mass of water loaded. The results demonstrated that the scale-up effect was very obvious, i.e., the specific hydrate formation rate, the moles of gas consumed per unit mass of water and time, decreased rapidly with the increasing mass of water loaded in the reactor. A multi-deck cell-type vessel was devised as the internals of the reactor to eliminate the scale-up effect, where water was loaded in each cell of the vessel instead of being loaded in the reactor directly and the hydrate formed in all cells of the vessel simultaneously. A double-deck cell-type vessel was set-up and a series of hydrate formation experiments were performed to study the influence of the number of deck and the size of each cell upon the specific formation rate and the storage capacity. The experimental results proved the feasibility of the multi-deck cell-type vessel. The influence of water quality was also studied and the results demonstrated that tap water could be used instead of the expensive distilled water in the formation of hydrates and the most suitable concentration of SDS in tap water was 2000 mg/L.
