EXPERIMENTAL METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF THE RESIDUAL EQUILIBRIUM WATER CONTENT IN HYDRATE-SATURATED NATURAL SEDIMENTS
The equilibrium “pore water in sediment–gas hydrate-former–bulk gas hydrate” was experimentally studied. This residual pore water corresponds to a minimal possible amount of water in the sediment, which is in thermodynamic equilibrium with both gas and the bulk hydrate phase. This pore water can be...

The equilibrium “pore water in sediment–gas hydrate-former–bulk gas hydrate” was experimentally studied. This residual pore water corresponds to a minimal possible amount of water in the sediment, which is in thermodynamic equilibrium with both gas and the bulk hydrate phase. This pore water can be defined as non-clathrated water by analogy to unfrozen water widely used in geocryological science. The amount of non-clathrated water depends on pressure, temperature, type of sediment, and gas hydrate former. The presence of residual pore water influences the thermodynamic properties of hydrate-saturated samples. The paper’s purpose is to describe a new experimental method for determining the amount of non-clathrated water in sediments at different pressure/temperature conditions.
