摘要: A series of experiments of forming hydrate from ice powders in different conditions have been carried out with constant volume method to evaluate the influence factors such as pressure, temperature, and SDS surfactant. The change of temperature and pressure were collected as a function of elapsed time, which were used to calculate the gas consumption and hydrate saturation during hydrate formation (pVT method). Based on the experimental results and the analysis, it is concluded that:(1) Both initial pressure and temperature have effect on the hydrate formation and temperature plays a more important role in the process; (2) heating and secondary pressurization will promote the gas hydrate formation and enhance the hydrate saturation as a result. Meanwhile, the promotion of heating seems to be more obvious than that of secondary pressurization; (3) different concentrations of SDS surfactant have clearly influence on the saturation of gas hydrate and there is an optimal concentration to promote the hydrate formation.
