Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrophobic Effect on Gas Hydrate Formation in the Presence of Additives
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the hydrophobic effect plays a critical role in gas hydrate formation, and that a dissolved hydrophobe organizes the surrounding water into a clathrate-like structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interfacial Gas Enrichment at Hydrophobic Surfaces and the Origin of Promotion of Gas Hydrate Formation by Hydrophobic Solid Particles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used both simulation and experimental means to gain insights into the microscopic level of the influence of hydrophobic solid surfaces on gas hydrate formation and showed the presence of an interfacial gas enrichment (IGE) at hydrophilic surface and a gas depletion layer at hydophilic surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical Review on Gas Hydrate Formation at Solid Surfaces and in Confined Spaces—Why and How Does Interfacial Regime Matter?
TL;DR: Gas hydrates are crystalline solids composed of water and gases as discussed by the authors, and they occur abundantly in nature and are potentially significant to industry. Solid surfaces and confined spaces strongly affect the...
Journal ArticleDOI
The dual effect of sodium halides on the formation of methane gas hydrate
Ngoc N. Nguyen,Anh V. Nguyen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the dual effect of dilute sodium halides in the formation of methane gas hydrates has been investigated and it was shown that dilute halide ions behave as hydrophobic entities and interact with surrounding water molecules to form hydrophilic hydration shells whose water structure is similar to that of hydrophobicity of methane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unexpected inhibition of CO2 gas hydrate formation in dilute TBAB solutions and the critical role of interfacial water structure
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have revealed the critical role of water alignment at the gas-water interface induced by surface adsorption of tetra-n-butylammonium cation (TBA+) which gives rise to the unexpected inhibition of dilute TBAB solution.
