摘要

This study reports the characterization of clathrate hydrates formed in argon (Ar) + cyclopentane (CP) + water (H2O) system and Ar + CP + heavy water (D2O) system via the experimental phase equilibrium determination and the powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) measurements. Four-phase (Ar gas + liquid CP + liquid H2O or liquid D2O + hydrate) equilibrium conditions were measured with the isochoric procedure in the pressure range from 0.38 MPa to 4.80 MPa. The corresponding temperature ranges were from 282.6 K to 294.6 K for H2O system and from 285.4 K to 296.8 K for D2O system. The equilibrium temperature of Ar + CP + D2O system is consistently higher by 2.2 K to 2.8 K than that of Ar + CP + H2O system. The detailed crystallographic properties of both H2O-based Ar + CP hydrate and D2O-based Ar + CP hydrate including the crystalline structure, lattice constants, and cage occupancies were estimated by the PXRD analysis. The cage occupancy of Ar in the small cages was lower in the Ar + CP hydrate formed at 0.7 MPa compared to the hydrate formed at 2.0 MPa. Based on the obtained results, implications for hydrate-based technologies are discussed, including seawater desalination, refrigeration systems, and tritiated water separation.
