Phase equilibrium measurements for clathrate hydrates of flue gas (CO2 + N-2 + O-2) in the presence of tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide or tri-n-butylphosphine oxide
This paper reports the measured hydrate phase equilibria of simulated flue gas (12.6 vol% CO2, 80.5 vol% N-2, 6.9 vol% O-2) in the presence of tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) or tri-n-butylphosphine oxide (TBPO), at (0, 5 and 26) wt%, respectively. The measurements of the phase boundary between (hydrate + liquid + vapor) (H + L + V) phases and (liquid + vapor) (L + V) phases were performed within the temperature range (275.97 to 293.99) K and pressure range (1.56 to 18.78) MPa with using the isochoric step-heating pressure search method. It was found that addition of TBAB or TBPO allowed the incipient equilibrium hydrate formation conditions for the flue gas to become milder. Compared to TBAB, TBPO was largely more effective in reducing the phase equilibrium pressure. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
