Preservation of Methane Hydrates Prepared from Dilute Electrolyte Solutions
The anomalous or self-preservation of methane hydrate at atmospheric pressure and temperatures below the ice point was investigated to determine whether this phenomenon might have applications in the storage and transportation of natural gas. Particular attention was paid to the effects of dilute el...
