Experimental Data and Predictions of Dissociation Conditions for Methane, Ethane, Propane, and Carbon Dioxide Simple Hydrates in the Presence of Glycerol Aqueous Solutions

Abstract : Experimental dissociation data for methane, ethane, and carbon dioxide simple hydrates in the presence of 0.1 and 0.4 mass fraction glycerol aqueous solutions and dissociation data for propane simple hydrates in the presence of 0.1 mass fraction glycerol aqueous solution are reported in this communication. The experimental data were generated using a reliable isochoric pressure-search method. The new experimental dissociation data for carbon dioxide simple hydrates in the presence of 0.1 mass fraction glycerol aqueous solution are compared with the experimental data reported in the literature and the agreements are generally found acceptable. All the experimental data are finally compared with the predictions of a general correlation and acceptable agreements between the experimental and predicted data are generally observed.
