Methane hydrate applications in gas storage and desalination have attracted increasing attention recent years. In the present work, effect of isopentane (IP), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), IP/SDS blends as promoters on methane formation kinetics, terms pressure–temperature (P-T) profile, uptake, induction time (HIT), water-to-hydrate conversion ratio (WHCR), were studied for distilled water sea...
