Experimental data and predictions of dissociation conditions for ethane and propane simple hydrates in the presence of distilled water and methane, ethane, propane, and carbon dioxide simple hydrates in the presence of ethanol aqueous solutions
Experimental gas hydrate dissociation data for ethane + distilled water, propane + distilled water, methane + 0.05 and 0.1 mass fraction ethanol aqueous solution, ethane + 0.05 and 0.1 mass fraction ethanol aqueous solution, propane + 0.05 and 0.1 mass fraction ethanol aqueous solution, and carbon dioxide + 0.05 and 0.1 mass fraction ethanol aqueous solution systems are reported herein. The new experimental data have been measured using an isochoric method. All the experimental data are compared with the predictions of a general correlation and a thermodynamic model. The agreements between the experimental and predicted data are generally found to be acceptable. The hydrate dissociation data for ethane + distilled water and propane + distilled water systems are also compared with some experimental data reported in the literature, and acceptable agreements between the data indicate the reliability of the experimental technique used in this study.
