Cage Occupancy of Hydrogen in Carbon Dioxide, Ethane, Cyclopropane, and Propane Hydrates

چکیده
We have already reported the cage unoccupancy of hydrogen in the CO2 hydrate from the Raman spectroscopic analysis and the thermodynamic analysis using Soave Redlich Kwong equation of state. On the other hand, at the low temperatures, Kim and Lee (Journal of American Chemical Society, vol. 127, pp. 9996-9997, Jul. 2005) claimed that hydrogen is enclathrated in the CO2 hydrate. In the present study, the cage unoccupancy of hydrogen in the CO2 hydrate was reconfirmed clearly by in situ Raman spectroscopy for single crystal of gas hydrates. Isothermal phase equilibria (pressure composition) and Raman spectra for three ternary systems of hydrogen + hydrocarbon (ethane, cyclopropane, propane) + water with same experimental procedures as hydrogen + CO2 + water system were measured at 276.1 K in the pressure range up to 5 MPa. In addition, the released gas from hydrates was analyzed to confirm the occupancy or unoccupancy of hydrogen at the temperature. All analyses arrive at the single conclusion that hydrogen is enclathrated in only propane hydrate under the present experimental conditions.

Application of Gas Hydrates as an Alternative Dehydration Method
Gas hydrates were first discovered by Sir HumphryDavy in 1810 [1]. Clathratehydrates are crystalline compounds, formed by the smaller molecules (guest), entrapped within the cavities of a rigid “cage-like” lattice of water molecules (host) at low temperature (typically less than 300K) and high pressure (typically more than 0.6MPa) conditions [2]. The small molecules of gasses, such as methane (...

ABSTARCT: As a result of geophysical researches in non-conventional energy sources in the earth in recent years, the discovery of large gas hydrate accumulations in terrestrial permafrost regions of the Arctic and beneath the sea along the outer continental margins of the world's oceans creates the interest of gas hydrates as a possible energy resource. Gas-hydrates are crystalline form in whic...

We present the application of a mathematical method reported earlier by which the van der Waals-Platteeuw statistical mechanical model with the Lennard-Jones and Devonshire approximation can be posed as an integral equation with the unknown function being the intermolecular potential between the guest molecules and the host molecules. This method allows us to solve for the potential directly fo...
متن کاملChanges in structure and preferential cage occupancy of ethane hydrate and ethane-methane mixed gas hydrate under high pressure
Structural changes and preferential cage occupancies were examined for ethane hydrate and ethane-methane mixed gas hydrates with five compositions in a pressure range of 0.2 to 2.8 GPa at room temperature. X-ray diffractometry and Raman spectroscopy showed the following structural changes. The initial structure, structure I (sI), of ethane hydrate was retained up to 2.1 GPa without any structur...
متن کاملMolecular and Isotopic Composition of Volatiles in Gas Hydrates and in Sediment from the Joetsu Basin, Eastern Margin of the Japan Sea
Hydrate-bearing sediment cores were retrieved from the Joetsu Basin (off Joetsu city, Niigata Prefecture) at the eastern margin of the Japan Sea during the MD179 gas hydrates cruise onboard R/V Marion Dufresne in June 2010. We measured molecular and stable isotope compositions of volatiles bound in the gas hydrates and headspace gases obtained from sediments to clarify how the minor components ...
