Selective occupancy of methane by cage symmetry in TBAB ionic clathrate hydrate.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methane trapped in the two distinct dodecahedral cages of the ionic clathrate hydrate of TBAB was studied by single crystal XRD and MD simulation. The relative CH4 occupancies over the cage types were opposite to those of CO2, which illustrates the interplay between the cage symmetry and guest shape and dynamics, and thus the gas selectivity.

A Fugacity Approach for Prediction of Phase Equilibria of Methane Clathrate Hydrate in Structure H
In this communication, a thermodynamic model is presented to predict the dissociation conditions of structure H (sH) clathrate hydrates with methane as help gas. This approach is an extension of the Klauda and Sandler fugacity model (2000) for prediction of phase boundaries of sI and sII clathrate hydrates. The phase behavior of the water and hydrocarbon system is modeled using the Peng-Robinso...
متن کاملStructure and dynamics of hydrogen molecules in the novel clathrate hydrate by high pressure neutron diffraction.
The D2 clathrate hydrate crystal structure was determined as a function of temperature and pressure by neutron diffraction for the first time. The hydrogen occupancy in the (32+X)H2.136H(2)O, x=0-16 clathrate can be reversibly varied by changing the large (hexakaidecahedral) cage occupancy between two and four molecules, while remaining single occupancy of the small (dodecahedral) cage. Above 1...
متن کاملPhase equilibrium and dissociation enthalpy for semi-clathrate hydrate of CO2+TBAB
The present work investigates equilibrium conditions and dissociation enthalpy of hydrates formed from CO2-TBAB(tetra-n-butylammonium bromide)-water mixtures. Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) was used for Hydrate-Liquid-Vapour (H-L-V) equilibrium condition determination in a TBAB concentration range from 4.43 to 9.01 wt% and in a CO2 pressure range from 0.3 to 2.5 MPa. The results showed tha...
متن کاملPhase changes of CO2 hydrate under high pressure and low temperature.
High pressure and low temperature experiments with CO(2) hydrate were performed using diamond anvil cells and a helium-refrigeration cryostat in the pressure and temperature range of 0.2-3.0 GPa and 280-80 K, respectively. In situ x-ray diffractometry revealed that the phase boundary between CO(2) hydrate and water+CO(2) extended below the 280 K reported previously, toward a higher pressure and...
متن کاملEquation of state of a model methane clathrate cage.
We investigate the behavior of a model methane clathrate cage under high hydrostatic pressures. The methane clathrate cage consists of 20 water molecules forming 12 pentagonal faces, with a methane molecule positioned at the cage center. The clathrate compound is located inside a fullerene-type arrangement of 180 He atoms to simulate an isotropic pressure. Different pressures are simulated by d...
