Gas hydrates are gas-carrying water structures which present both opportunities and threats
to the energy industry and environment. Chemical additives are used either to promote gas …

Formerly, additives were only used to inhibit the formation of solid hydrates in pipelines and
maintain a safe and economic fuel transportation. Recently, their role has reversed in newly …

Applications of clathrate hydrate require fast formation kinetics of it, which is the long-
standing technological bottleneck due to mass transfer and heat transfer limitations …

Additives such as surfactants, polymers, salts, and hydrophobic particles are well-known
(and used) to influence gas hydrate formation (GHF). This paper reviews and discusses the …

Gas hydrates have been endowed with great potential for natural gas storage and
transportation; achieving the rapid hydrate formation and high storage capacity are critical to …

Gas hydrate risks minimization in deepsea hydrocarbon flowlines, especially in high water to
oil ratios, and is critical for the oil and gas flow assurance industry. Although there are …

Gas hydrates have been proposed as a potential technology for a number of applications,
such as separation of gas mixtures, CO2 capture, transportation, and sequestration …

The effect of few monovalent salts (NaCl, NH4Cl, and GdmCl) as additives, according to the
Hofmeister series on the growth of methane gas hydrates, has been studied using …

In recent years, there has been growing interest in gas hydrates as technological
applications, such as for energy (methane and hydrogen) storage and transportation …

In gas clathrate hydrates, inclusion gas molecules stabilize crystalline water structures. In
addition to being fundamentally interesting, gas hydrates attract significant practical attention …
