Abstract

Gas hydrate formation is a new technology to uptake carbon dioxide. In the present work, the kinetics of changes in the volume of unreacted water, the formed carbon dioxide hydrate, and also the unreacted gas inside the reactor were investigated with the passage of time. Experiments were performed in a stagnant 169 cm3 double-walled reactor at a temperature of 275.15 K and a pressure of 3 MPa. The tests were done by using the isochoric-isothermal method. The results of the experiments showed that the volume of unreacted water decreased with respect to time and the volume of hydrate formed increased. Taking into account the different molar volumes of hydrate formed and the molar volume of reacted water in the test conditions, the changes in gas volume inside the reactor were calculated with the passage of time. The gas volume inside the reactor decreased from 144 cm3 at the beginning of the process to 141.62 cm3 at the end of the reaction. By decreasing the pressure during carbon dioxide hydrate formation process, the amount of hydration number increased from 6.047 mol/mol to 6.109 mol/mol.
