Description
Summary:Comparative studies have been carried out on mechanical properties of the sediments enhancing the formation and dissociation of methane hydrates. Porous media significantly influence the rate of hydrate formation by reducing the chemical barrier, where zeolites are the micro porous minerals. It was observed that the gas consumption was slightly greater in zeolite compared to montmorillonite clay for the first ratios before reaching to the saturation ratios. This paper also tells that, at constant dissociation rate the enthalpy or the amount of heat release of methane gas is increasing for the higher pressures at two water ratios both in clay and zeolite sediments, giving rise to effectiveness in enhancing and expediting the methane hydrate formation which is an ultimate source for energy demanding applications. In addition to this, we have observed a slight reduction in the permeability for clay sediment giving an evidence for the hydrate growth ...
