This thesis studies the formation and decomposition of methane hydrate crystal in an unconsolidated bed of silica sand particles. Hydrate processes were visualized by taking advantage of the ¹H magnetic resonance imaging technique, and the integrated intensity of magnetic resonance images was used to quantify the rate and kinetics. For all of the experiments, the initial pressure was 8 MPa and the temperature was kept constant at 1℃. Beds composed of 2 grams of sand were saturated with different amounts of water (0.44, 0.33, 0.22 and 0.11 mL) in order to examine the effect of water content of the bed on the kinetics of hydrate formation in porous media.
