Molecular behaviors and crystal structures of the binary hydrates of $CH_4$ and ethanol were identified by means of 13C solid-state NMR and powder XRD methods at various concentrations of ethanol. In addition, NMR peak areas were used to calculate cage occupancies for both guest species. Obtained results showed that more $CH_4$ molecules are captured into hydrate phase per unit mass of ethanol molecules because $CH_4$ molecule can occupy sII large cages more, and pure $CH_4$ hydrate can form more as well at lower ethanol concentrations. Even though tuning phenomenon was already reported for some aqueous hydrate promoters such as THF, aqueous ethanol solutions are found to play the same tuning role in the binary clathrate hydrates in this study.

Type I clathrate $Ba_8Al_{16}Si_{30}$ was produced by arc melting and hot pressing and thermoelectric properties were investigated. Negative Seebeck coefficient at all temperatures measured, which means that the majority carriers are electrons. Electrical conductivity decreased by increasing temperature and thermal conductivity was 0.012 W/cmK at room temperature and dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) was 0.01 at 873K.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the supercooling improvement of TMA30wt% clathrate when the chloroform is added to it. For this purpose, phase change temperature and supercooling are measured and evaluated experimentally in heat source of $-7^{/circ}C$. The results show that phase change temperature and supercooling are improved. From the results, this research can provide and important data for the low temperature thermal storage.

TBAB (Tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide)는 상압에서 semi-clathrate를 형성하는 물질로서 최근 열역학적 촉진제 및 기체 저장 물질로서 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가스 하이드레이트 형성 시TBAB가 열역학적 촉진제로서 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 다양한 농도 (5, 10, 40, 60 wt%)의 TBAB를 $CH_4\;+\;H_2O$계, $CO_2\;+\;H_2O$계, $N_2\;+\;H_2O$계에 첨가하여 가스 하이드레이트 3상 평형 (H - LW - V)을 측정 하였다. 실험 결과 TBAB의 조성에 따른 촉진경향은 각 계가 유사하지만, 촉진 정도는 $N_2\;+\;H_2O$ 계가 앞의 두계에 비해 월등히 큰 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, TBAB 농도가 40 wt% 일때 촉진효과가 가장 크게 나타났으며, 그 이상의 농도에서는 반대로 촉진효과가 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 혼합 하이드레이트 형성에 참여하지 못한 TBAB가 가스 하이드레이트 형성을 억제하기 때문으로 사료된다. 결과적으로 가스하이드레이트 공정에 TBAB를 열역학적 촉진제로서 적용할 경우 촉진효과가 가장 큰 40 wt% 범위의 농도로 사용하는 것이 가장 적절할 것으로 사료된다. 본 실험에서 얻어진 결과는 가스 하이드레이트 형성을 이용한 천연가스 수송/저장법을 위한 연구뿐만 아니라 기체 분리 공정 개발과 관련된 연구의 중요한 기초 자료가 될 것이다.

Growth characteristics of methane-propane clathrate hydrate, growing under different undercooling conditions, was investigated. After the water within pressurized vessel was fully saturated with guest gas molecules by agitation, medium was rapidly undercooled and maintained at the constant temperature. The growth of hydrate was always Initiated with film formations at the upper bounding surface of liquid pool. The visual observation using microscope revealed detailed features of subsequent crystal nucleation, migration, growth and interference occurring within liquid pool. A number of small crystals ascended and settled at the hydrate film. When undercooling was small $({\Delta}T=3.2K)$, some of the settled crystals slowly grew into faceted columns. As the undercooling increased, the downward growth of crystals underneath the hydrate film became dendritic and occurred with greater rate and with finer arm spacing. The shapes of the floating crystals were diverse and included octahedron and triangular or hexagonal platelet When the undercooling was small, the octahedral crystals were found dominant. As the undercooling increased, the shape of the floating crystals also became dendritic. The detailed characteristics of floating crystals were reported in this study.

Crystal structure of two inclusion compounds Cd(pn)Ni(CN)4·0.25G (G=toluene and p-xylene, pn=1,2-diaminopropane) have been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data; toluene clathrate: monoclinic P21/n, a=13.838(6), b=26.893(5), c= 7.543(5) Å, γ=90.92(3)°, Z=4, R=0.0616; p-xylene clathrate: monoclinic P21/n, a=13.895(2), b=26.900(3), c=7.613(1) Å, γ=91.06(1)°, Z=4, R=0.0486. The host structures determined for toluene- and pxylene-guest clathrates are substantially identical to the U-type structures observed for the straight chain aliphatic-guest clathrates. However, the alternating arrangement of occupied channels with the guest molecules and vacant channels appears in the host structure. The non-centrosymmetric toluene molecules are distributed about the inversion center to give an image like p-xylene molecule. The guests, toluene and p-xylene, prefer the U-type channel, favoring the interaction between the π-electrons of the aromatic ring and the pn-amino groups to hold the aromatic ring vertical to the cyanometallate meshes.

In this study, we investigated morphological characteristics of $SF_6$ clathrate hydrate crystals to understand its formation and growth mechanism. $SF_6$ clathrate hydrate crystals were formed in high-pressure reaction cell charged with pure water and $SF_6$ gas at constant pressure and temperature. Two-phase ($SF_6$ gas/aqueous solution) and three-phase ($SF_6$ gas/aqueous solution/$SF_6$ liquid) conditions were investigated, In both conditions, dendritic shape hydrate crystals were grown as like fibriform crystals along upward growth direction at the gas/aqueous solution interface. In the case of the reaction process of three-phase condition, when the $SF_6$ gas bubbles which were generated in $SF_6$ liquid phase due to the reduction of reaction cell pressure stuck to the gas/aqueous interfaces, the hydrate phase were appeared at the surface of the bubbles. This paper presents the detail growth characteristics of $SF_6$ hydrate crystals including crystal nucleation, migration, growth and interference.
