The dissociation temperature was determined for methane gas hydrates using a high pressure micro deferential scanning calorimeter at a pressure range of 36-97 bar. Both ionic liquids (ILs) were studied at concentrations of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 wt\% then their performance was compared with commercially available inhibitors. It was observed that both ILs shift the methane hydrate equilibrium curve to lower temperature and higher pressure; and the performance of OH-EMIMCl is better than OH-EMIMBr. Nevertheless both of them were found to be less effective compared to methanol and mono ethylene glycol. {\^A}{\copyright} 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84914146120&doi=10.4028\%2fwww.scientific.net\%2fAMM.625.337&partnerID=40&md5=c675f98b58b5f53a982672734e14f4a5}, keywords = {Chlorine compounds; Dissociation; Ethylene; Ethylene glycol; Gas hydrates; Hydration; Methane; Polyols; Temperature; Thermodynamics, Dissociation temperature; Hydrate inhibitors; Ionic liquid (ils); Lower temperatures; Methane gas hydrates; Methane hydrates; Mono ethylene glycols; Thermodynamic inhibitors, Ionic liquids}, isbn = {9783038351818}, author = {Nashed, O. and Sabil, K.
