Dry Water: a Prospective Material for Methane Storage via Clathrate Hydrate Form

Abstract:

Dry water (DW) is a powder-like, solidified form of water, where water droplets are surrounded by silica nanoparticles. DW is considered to be an effective medium for gas storage because it can slurp up gases which combine the water molecules to form clathrate hydrate. In this paper, DW was prepared by mixing water and hydrophobic silica particles (H18) at high speeds, and based on which, dry water methane hydrates (DW-MH) were synthesized under certain conditions. The characteristics of DW and DW-MH were investigated by Raman spectroscopy. The results show that DW-MH is a typetical sI clathrate hydrate with hydration number around 5.9. The storage capacity in clathrate hydrate prepared with methane and four different materials, i.e. DW, powder ice, Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) solution and liquid water, was measured by volumetric method. The results showed that DW is prospective medium for gas storage that can increase much higher of the storage capacity compared to other materials.
