Methane Hydrate Formation and Dissociation in the presence of Bentonite Clay Suspension
Abstract The present work reports the effect of bentonite clay on methane hydrate formation and dissociation in synthetic seawater of salinity 3.55 % of total dissolved salts. Extensive observations of pressure‐temperature equilibrium during formation and decomposition of methane hydrate under diffe...
