A comparative study on the enhanced formation of methane hydrate using CM-95 and CM-100 MWCNTs

摘要: Abstract 1 m3 of methane hydrate can be decomposed into a maximum 216 m3 gas under standard conditions. Conversely, such large volume utilized to store and transport quantity natural gas. When is formed artificially by simply reversing its process generation, the amount consumed owing formation fairly low which would problematic for massive synthesis application. In this study, experiments are carried out with goal increasing adding two kinds (CM-95 CM-100) multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) pure water, where physical length CM-95 much shorter than CM-100. 0.004 wt.% MWCNT solution compared consumption rate almost triples indicating effect in formation. Also, MWCNTs decreased time greater extent CM-100 at subcooling temperature.
