FORMATION KINETIC OF MIXED HYDRATE OF CARBON DIOXIDE AND METHANE IN THE PRESENCE OF PROMOTER

In this study, we will investigate the effect on the application of hydrate promoter
which is Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) Solution on separation of Carbon Dioxide
from Methane gas. Thus, through this paper, we will find out the SDS’s kinetic
measurement on hydrate formation which has been said theoretically; SDS Solution
is capable to promote hydrate formation at the better condition by shifting the
equilibrium phase for pressure and temperature. To prove that the hydrate promoter
can promote the hydrate crystal formation at the better temperature and pressure
condition, it needs to be done through the experimental work. Comparison of
70%CO2:30%CH4 with and without SDS Solution will be use in the experiment to
see the trend of its kinetic measurement. Experiment will be divided into two part
which are Part I Experiment; analyse the kinetic measurement data by using
70%CO2:30%CH without introducing the promoter while Part II Experiment;
analyse the kinetic measurement for 70%CO2:30%CH4 by using 0.03 mole%
concentration of SDS Solution. The data will be monitor and collected by using Data
of Requisition System. Rapid increasing in pressure and decrease in temperature
shows that the hydrate are form in the gas. The calculation to find the rate of constant
for hydrate formation will be proceed based on the graph of “Pressure versus Time”.
The result from the sample product that contains SDS Solution will be determining
the kinetic measurement of mixed CO2-CH4 gas hydrate.
