However, no desired gas hydrate inhibition has been reported due to poor IL selection and/or tuning method. Trial & error as well as selection based on existing literature are the methods currently employed for selecting and/or tuning ILs. These methods are probabilistic, time consuming, expensive and may not result in selecting high performance ILs for gas hydrate mitigation. In this work, COSMO-RS is considered as a prescreening tool of ILs for gas hydrate mitigation by predicting the hydrogen bonding energies (EHB) of studied IL inhibitors and comparing the predicted EHB to the depression temperature (Ŧ) and induction time. Results show that, predicted EHB and chain length of ILs strongly relate and significantly affect the gas hydrate inhibition depression temperature but correlate moderately (R = 0.70) with average induction time in literature. It is deduced from the results that, Ŧ increases with increasing IL EHB and/or decreases with increasing chain length. However, the cation�anion pairing of ILs also affects IL gas hydrate inhibition performance. Furthermore, a visual and better understanding of IL/water behavior for gas hydrate inhibition in terms of hydrogen bond donor and acceptor interaction analysis is also presented by determining the sigma profile and sigma potential of studied IL cations and anions used for gas hydrate mitigation for easy IL selection. © 2016 Elsevier B.V. date: 2016 publisher: Chemical Industry Press official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85001060847&doi=10.1016%2fj.cjche.2016.07.014&partnerID=40&md5=f459b1b9d1886617d4507d2bd2e75db7 id_number: 10.1016/j.cjche.2016.07.014 full_text_status: none publication: Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering volume: 24 number: 11 pagerange: 1619-1624 refereed: TRUE issn: 10049541 citation: Bavoh, C.B. and Lal, B. and Nashed, O. and Khan, M.S. and Keong, L.K. and Bustam, M.A. (2016) COSMO-RS: An ionic liquid prescreening tool for gas hydrate mitigation.
