Unlike non-ionic clathrate hydrates stably formed by van der Waals interaction between a guest molecule and a surrounding host framework, ionic clathrate hydrates are stabilized by ionic interaction between an ionic guest molecule and the host water-framework. Here, we firstly described the stable entrapment of the superoxide ions in ${\gamma}$-irradiated $Me_4NOH+O_2$ hydrate. Owing to peculiar direct guest-guest ionic interaction, the lattice structure of ${\gamma}$-irradiated $Me_4NOH+O_2$ hydrate shows significant change of lattice contraction behavior even at relatively high temperature(120K). Particularly, we note that ionic-induced dimensional change is much greater than thermal-induced change. Such findings are expected to provide useful information for a better understanding of unrevealed nature of clathrate hydrate fields.

There are several methods for the gas hydrate production such as spraying water with countercurrent gas flow, stirring water-gas mixture, and flowing water with micro-bubble, etc. These days it has been widely studied for the gas hydrate production method, having low energy consumption and high efficiency. In this paper, patents in the gas hydrate production method were gathered and analyzed. The search range was limited to the open patents of USA, European Union (EP), Japan (JP), and Korea (KR) from 1991 to 2007. Patents were gathered by using keywords searching and filtered by crucial criteria. The trends of the patents were analyzed by the years, countries, companies, and technologies.

Self-preservation effect was identified by means of macroscopic dissociation experiments after keeping natural gas hydrate samples at 258 K for 15 days. The hydrate samples were formed using synthetic natural gas hydrate whose compositions are 90% $CH_4$, 7% $C_2H_6$, and 3% $C_3H_8$. In addition, during the formation, heavy hydrocarbons of propane and ethane are found to occupy hydrate cages in a more favorable way than methane so as to change the gas composition after hydrate formation. Experimental results obtained in this study can provide useful information on applications of natural gas hydrate for storing or transporting natural gas in the form of solid hydrate.

이 논문에서는 일정한 온도를 유지할 수 있는 자켓타입의 교반 반응기내에서 인공적으로 메탄 하이드레이트를 제조하였으며, 제조시의 하이드레이트의 형상 변화를 관찰하였다. 제조된 하이드레이트의 연소 시연에서는 하이드레이트로 천연가스의 수송 및 저장 가능성을 나타내고 있다. 또한 메탄 하이드레이트 제조시 제조 조건들, 반응기의 온도, 압력 및 교반속도 등의 영향에 대하여 측정하였다. 이러한 제조 조건에 따라 하이드레이트의 생성 속도 및 유도시간을 관찰하였다. 특히 하이드레이트의 성장 즉 핵의 생성과 하이드레이트의 구조 형성에 커다란 영향을 주는 것은 인자들 중에 온도와 압력으로 가스 하이드레이트에 관한 가스의 저장과 수송측면을 알아 볼 경우에 필히 검토해야 할 부분으로 판단된다.

The prediction of hydrate pellet decomposition characteristics is required to design the regasification process of GTS (gas to solid) technology, which is considered as an economic alternative for LNG technology to transport natural gas produced from small and stranded gas wells. Mathematical model based on the conservation principles, the phase equilibrium relation, equation of gas state and phase change kinetics was set up and numerical solution procedure employing volume averaged fixed grid formulation and extended enthalpy method are implemented. Initially, porous methane hydrate pellet is at uniform temperature and pressure within hydrate stable region. The pressure starts to decrease with a fixed rate down to the final pressure and is kept constant afterwards while the bounding surface of pellet is heated by convection. The predicted convective heat and mass transfer accompanied by the decomposed gas flow through hydrate/ice solid matrix is reported focused on the comparison of spherical and cylindrical pellets having the same effective radius.

Large amounts of natural gas, mainly methane, in the form of hydrates are stored on continental margins. When gas hydrates are dissociated by any environmental trigger, generation of excess pore pressure due to released free gas may cause sediment deformation and weakening. Hence, damage on offshore structures or submarine landslide can occur by gas hydrate dissociation. Therefore, geotechnical stability of gas hydrate bearing sediments is in need to be securely assessed. However, geotechnical characteristics of gas hydrates bearing sediments including small-strain elastic moduli have been poorly identified. Synthesizing gas hydrate in natural seabed sediment specimen, which is mainly composed of silty-to-clayey soils, has been hardly attempted due to their low permeability. Moreover, it has been known that hydrate loci in pore spaces and heterogeneity of hydrate growth in specimen scale play a critical role in determining physical properties of hydrate bearing sediments. In the presented study, we synthesized gas hydrate containing sediments in an instrumented oedometric cell. Geotechnical and geophysical properties of gas hydrate bearing sediments including compressibility, small-strain elastic moduli, elastic wave, and electrical resistivity are determined by wave-based techniques during loading and unloading processes. Significant changes in volume change, elastic wave, and electrical resistivity have been observed during formation and dissociation of gas hydrate. Experimental results and analyses reveal that geotechnical properties of gas hydrates bearing sediments are highly governed by hydrate saturation, effective stress, void ratio, and soil types as well as morphological feature of hydrate formation in sediments.

n-Pentane and n-hexane, previously regarded as non-hydrate formers, are found to form structure H hydrate in mixtures with 2,2-dimethylbutane. Even though they are thought to be too large to fit into the largest cage of the structure H hydrate, powder XRD and NMR measurements show that they form gas hydrates in mixtures with other sH hydrate former. These findings are of fundamental interest and also will impact the composition and location of natural gas hydrates and their potential as global energy resource and climate change materials.

방대한 저장량으로 차세대 에너지원으로 평가받는 메탄가스 하이드레이트는 생산과정에서 유발될 수 있는 문제를 최소화하고 최적의 생산조건을 선정하기 위한 하이드레이트 포함한 다공질 재료의 THM 현상에 대한 프로그램의 개발이 절실하다. 기존의 해석 프로그램들은 국제공동연구를 통하여 프로그램들간의 상호 비교검증을 진행하고 있으나, 예측값의 불일치와 수렴성에 문제가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서는 다공질 재료내 메탄 하이드레이트의 해리 현상을 해석할 수 있는 fully coupled THM 유한요소 프로그램을 개발하였다. Methane hydrate, soil, water, 및 methane gas의 질량보존의 법칙, 에너지 보존의 법칙, 그리고 힘평형 방정식으로부터 지배방정식을 유도하였다. 다양한 주변수들의 조합을 통하여 주변수를 변위, 가스 포화도, 유체압, 온도, 하이드레이트 포화도로 선택하였으며, 상변화 전영역에서 해석이 가능하도록 하였다. 하이드레이트의 해리를 예측하는 모델은 kinetic model을 이용하였다. 개발된 THM 유한요소 프로그램을 이용하여 메탄가스 생산에 관한 Masuda의 실내 모형실험 결과와 비교적 분석을 수행하였으며, 해의 수렴성과 안정성을 확인할 수 있었다.
