A. Danesh et al., HYDRATE EQUILIBRIUM DATA OF METHYL CYCLO-PENTANE WITH METHANE OR NITROGEN, Chemical engineering research & design, 72(A2), 1994, pp. 197-200
It has been demonstrated experimentally that methyl cyclo-pentane can
form gas hydrates. The first hydrate equilibrium data on the newly dis
covered hydrate structure have been determined over the seabed tempera
ture range (274-288 K). In addition to methane, nitrogen for the first
time has been used as help gas to fill small cavities of the above st
ructure. The new structure is more stable than those formed by the lig
ht gases, and hence reduces their hydrate free zones.
