Study of Carbon Dioxide Hydrates in "Dry Water" Disperse System.

The kinetics and equilibrium conditions of carbon dioxide hydrate formation in 'dry water" disperse system were studied using different types of hydrophobic silicon dioxide nanoparticles under isochoric conditions at 273.15 K temperature and 3 MPa initial pressure. Also studied was the effect of "dry water" on the kinetics of carbon dioxide hydrate dissociation under a pressure below the equilibrium and at 268.15 K temperature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
