摘要
The kinetics of the initial, stage of crystallization of one-component gas hydrates in aqueous solutions are analyzed. The temporal evolution of the volume of hydrate crystallized and the moles of gas consumed are determined. Expressions are derived for the supersaturation dependence of the hydrate crystallite growth rate and the induction time in hydrate crystallization. These expressions are used for revealing,how additives in the solution that act as kinetic inhibitors of hydrate crystallization can affect the induction time of the process. The results obtained are applied to crystallization of methane, ethane and cyclopropane hydrates. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
