JF - Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry VL - 79 Y1 - 2019/// N2 - In this work, the effect of biodegradable polymers, i.e. pectin (PC), sodium-carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC), tapioca starch (TS) and dextran (DX) on thermodynamics and kinetics of CO2 hydrates are evaluated on sapphire hydrate reactor. The CO2 hydrate liquid vapour equilibrium (HLwVE) data is evaluated in the presence of biopolymers (1.5 wt) using isochoric T-cycle method at temperature and pressure ranging from 278.7 to 283.0 K and 2.3 to 4.3 MPa respectively. The effect of biopolymers on HLwVE curve is reported by measuring average increment temperature (Î?Ŧ). The constant cooling method is used to evaluate the kinetics of CO2 hydrates at 4.3 MPa in the presence of biopolymers (0.12â??1.5 wt) at 274.15 K and 277.15 K. The inhibition effect of biopolymers on the kinetics of CO2 hydrate is reported by measuring induction time, hydrate formation rate and amount of gas consumed. The kinetic inhibition strength of biopolymers is compared with poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and with two non-commercial inhibitors, i.e. glycine and tetra-methyl ammonium chloride (TMACl) through relative inhibition strength (RIS). Results reveal that DX shows maximum increment temperature of 0.36 K. While PC and Na-CMC delayed CO2 hydrate nucleation for 423 and 181 min respectively. Additionally, biodegradation study on biopolymers indicates that, compared to PVP, biopolymers are easily biodegradable and show potential for gas hydrate offshore applications. © 2019 The Korean Society of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry KW - Amino acids; Biodegradability; Biodegradable polymers; Biodegradation; Biomolecules; Biopolymers; Carbon dioxide; Chlorine compounds; Dyes; Hydration; Kinetics; Offshore oil well production; Sapphire; Sodium compounds; Temperature KW - CO2 hydrates; Flow assurance; Liquid-vapour equilibria; Poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone; Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose; Temperature and pressures; Tetramethylammonium chloride; Thermodynamics and kinetics KW - Gas hydrates KW - Amino Acids; Biodegradability; Biodegradation; Carbon Dioxide; Chlorine Compounds; Dyes ID - scholars11089 EP - 145 SN - 1226086X PB - Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry N1 - cited By 24 SP - 131 TI - Thermodynamic and kinetic effect of biodegradable polymers on carbondioxide hydrates AV - none ER -
