The hydrate-based CO2 (carbon dioxide) separation and capture from CO2/H2 (hydrogen) gas mixtures with the different CO2 concentrations is investigated in 0.29 mol% TBAB (tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide) solution. Raman spectroscopic analysis is employed to determine the compositions of the...

Using CO2–CH4 (carbon dioxide–methane) replacement to produce CH4 from NGH (natural gas hydrate) is not only a new CH4 production technology but also a direct way to disposal CO2 by CO2 hydrates. Although there are many studies focusing on the mechanism of CH4 replacement in hydrates by CO2,...

The combustion characteristics of both pure propane hydrates and the mixtures of hydrates and quartz sands were investigated by combustion experiments. The flame propagation, flame appearance, burning time and temperature in different hydrate layers were studied. For pure propane hydrate...

Effects of 0.29mol% tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) solution in conjunction with cyclopentane (CP) on the hydrate-based pre-combustion CO2 capture are investigated by the measurements of the gas uptakes, CO2 separation efficiencies and induction time of the hydrate formation at the...

To determine the appropriate operating conditions for separating carbon dioxide from flue gas via the hydrate formation, the effects of the concentrations of dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DTAC) in 0.29mol% Tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) aqueous solution and the initial pressures on...

A complete set of scaling criteria for gas hydrate reservoir of five-spot well system case is derived from the 3D governing equations, involving the mass balance equation, the energy balance equation, the kinetic model, the endothermic model and the phase equilibrium model. In the scaling...

Exploitation of natural gas hydrate is expecting to be an important strategic way to solve the problem of energy depletion. Understanding the effectiveness of the well configuration plays a pivotal role in gas production from the hydrate reservoir. This study evaluates the methane hydrate...

Based on the available measurement data and literature on the hydrate deposits of the South China Sea, a numerical simulation with a new dual horizontal well system has been carried out. Warm brine stimulation combined with depressurization is employed as the production method. Two horizontal...

The cubic hydrate simulator (CHS) is used to study the methane hydrate production behaviors in porous media by the thermal stimulation with a five-spot well system. The hot water injection rates range from 10.0 to 40.0ml/min. The thermal stimulation process is analyzed, and the conclusions are...
