Phase equilibrium condition measurements in the clathrate hydrate forming system of (propan-2-ol + carbon dioxide plus water) at temperatures between 250.8 K and 265.7 K
The phase equilibrium conditions in the (propan-2-ol + carbon dioxide + water) system were measured. The measurements were performed using the batch, isochoric method at the temperatures between 250.8 K and 265.7 K. The equilibrium pressures were measured between 0.275 MPa and 0.995 MPa, and increased with increasing temperatures. Propan-2-ol is known as thermodynamic inhibitor for hydrate formation. However at the temperatures below 262 K, the equilibrium pressures in the (propan-2-ol + carbon dioxide + water) system are lower than those without propan-2-ol (carbon dioxide + water system). The measurements indicate the formation of the hydrates containing propan-2-ol and carbon dioxide in this system. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
