제목 Experimental and Computational Approaches to Evaluate Potential of Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Ionic Liquids as Methane Hydrate Inhibitors
초록 Gas hydrates have been considered as a nuisance in gas and oil industry, because hydrate formation in the transmission pipelines gives rise to serious economic and environmental damages. To prevent this problem, several types of hydrate inhibitors such as methanol and PVCap have been applied. In particular, ionic liquids (ILs) attracted increasing attention due to their unique role as both a thermodynamic hydrate inhibitor (THI) and a kinetic hydrate inhibitor (KHI). In this study, we focused on the hydrophobicity of ILs and examined the inhibition effect of each IL on the kinetics and thermodynamic stability of CH4 hydrates by measuring the onset temperature (Tonset) and hydrate phase equilibria. Expermental results demonstrated that the stronger hydrophilicity an ionic liquid pair had, the better inhibition efficiency it showed. Additionally, it was found that the hydrophobicity of anions had a more significant impact on the hydrate inhibition strength of ILs than that of cations. Furthermore, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was applied to reveal the inhibition mechanisms of ILs at a molecular level.
