Phase Equilibria of Clathrate Hydrates in (Methane plus Cyclooctane plus Water), (Methane+3,3-Dimethyl-1-butene + Water), (Methane+2-Pentanone plus Water), or (Methane+3-Pentanone plus Water) Systems
In this communication, experimental hydrate dissociation data for the (methane + cyclooctane + water), (methane + 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene + water), (methane + 2-pentanone + water) and (methane + 3-pentanone + water) systems are reported in the temperature range of (273 to 286) K. Experimental data were generated using an isochoric pressure search method. The experimental hydrate dissociation data for the (methane + 2-pentanone + water) and (methane + 3-pentanone + water) systems are compared to experimental dissociation data for methane hydrate, and it is found that 2-pentanone or 3-pentanone likely shows an inhibition effect on methane clathrate hydrates.
