Abstract

This paper provides new experimental data on the phase behavior of gas hydrates for several binary and ternary mixtures of methane, propane, isobutane, and n-butane. After the molecular Kihara parameters for n-butane in the thermodynamic model were tuned, the predictions were in good agreement with the experimental data. The role of n-butane in hydrate formation is explained, and the effect of salinity on the phase behavior of binary mixtures of propane/n-butane is determined.
