TLDR
In this article, the experimental data on methane, nitrogen, oxygen, and air hydrates were used in optimizing the Kihara potential parameters for oxygen hydrate, and the hydrate stability zone of oxygen and nitrogen was predicted.
Abstract
Air hydrates can form at high-pressure and low-temperature conditions found in deep ice sheets of Arctic and Antarctic regions. These hydrates can play a major role in analyzing the data gathered in these regions. However, there are limited experimental data and thermodynamic modeling on air hydrates. In this work, we present new experimental data on methane, nitrogen, oxygen, and air hydrates. An experimental setup based on a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) has been used in measuring all the experimental data reported in this work. The QCM method needs much smaller samples, resulting in a significant reduction in the time required for each experiment. The available data on oxygen hydrates are used in optimizing the Kihara potential parameters for oxygen hydrates. Using the previously reported nitrogen Kihara potential parameters and the optimized Kihara potential parameters for oxygen, the hydrate stability zone of air hydrates (21 mol % oxygen and 79 mol % nitrogen) has been predicted. The predictions...

Phase equilibrium modeling of clathrate hydrates of methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and hydrogen + water soluble organic promoters using Support Vector Machine algorithm

TL;DR: In this article, the Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LSSVM) algorithm is employed to present several numerical models for calculation/estimation of the clathrate hydrate dissociation conditions of methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and hydrogen in the presence of three most-widely used water “soluble” organic promoters including tetrahydrofuran (THF), 1,4-dioxane, and acetone.

Origin of molecular oxygen in comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko

TL;DR: In this article, the radiolysis of icy grains in low-density environments such as the presolar cloud may induce the production of large amounts of molecular oxygen, and it is shown that molecular oxygen can be efficiently trapped in clathrates formed in the protosolar nebula (PSN), and that incorporation as crystalline ice is highly implausible, because this would imply much larger abundances of Ar and N-2 than those observed in the coma.

Ice−Clathrate Hydrate−Gas Phase Equilibria for Air, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Monoxide, Methane, or Ethane + Water System†

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the equilibrium conditions of air, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide clathrate hydrates and showed that the existing ice−clathrate hydrate−gas equilibrium data for the nitrogen or oxygen + water system are not reliable.

Thermodynamic and Molecular Properties of Gas Hydrates from Mixtures Containing Methane, Argon, and Krypton

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used experimental methane-krypton and methane-argon hydrate data to generate chemical-potential, enthalpy, and heat-capacity functions for Structure I hydrates for temperatures between -190/sup 0/ and 80/Sup 0/F (150 and 300 K) using a modified statistical model where the gas-water interactions were calculated from the spherical core Kihara intermolecular pair potential function.
