The T-cycle technique is used to measure the hydrate equilibrium conditions of AILs + CO2 + H2O hydrate systems within the ranges of 274â??283 K and 1.80â??4.20 MPa. All studied AILs inhibited CO2 hydrate with the inhibition effect increasing with AILs concentration. The 10 wt, TEAOH showed the highest inhibition effect with an average suppression temperature (â?? Ŧ) of 1.7 K, followed by TMACl (â?? Ŧ = 1.6 K) and then TPrAOH (â?? Ŧ = 1.2 K). Furthermore, COSMO-RS analysis is performed to understand the molecular level inhibition mechanism of AILs. In addition, the enthalpies of hydrate dissociation for all studied systems are also determined. The calculated hydrate dissociation enthalpies revealed that all the studied AILs show insignificant participation in CO2 hydrate cage formation at all concentrations, hence, do not form semi-clathrate hydrates. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
