dissociation enthalpy of methane/carbon dioxide/nitrogen and tetra n-butylammonium chloride semiclathrate hydrates using the clausius-clapeyron equation

Due to high storage capacity, high dissociation enthalpy, and the appropriate melting point of gas hydrates, these compounds have the potential for many industrial applications. tetra-n-butylammonium halides are molecules that can form semiclathrate hydrates. this manuscript employed the clausius clapeyron equation to evaluate the dissociation enthalpy of methane/nitrogen/carbon dioxide + tetra-n-butylammonium chloride (tbac) semiclathrate hydrates (schs). phase equilibrium data are measured in a batch reactor with an effective volume of 460 cc. the data of dissociation enthalpy were evaluated in the temperatures of (275.15 to 304.75) k and the pressures of (0.36 to 10.57) mpa at (0 - 0.36) mass fraction of tbac. the results showed that the utilization of tbac increases the amount of dissociation enthalpy of semiclathrate hydrates per mole of the hydrated gas. by increasing the amount of tbac in the system, the quantity of dissociation enthalpy per mole of hydrated gas increased.
