Agglomeration characterization of THF and HCFC-141b hydrate particles
The objective of the present work was to research agglomeration characterization of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and HCFC-141b hydrate particles. Experimental hydrate particle size distributions (PSD) were compared to classical normal
log-normal
Gamma
Weibull distributions. The effects of initial THF and HCFC-141b solution concentration and stirring rate on the hydrate particles agglomeration were also studied. The particle characterizations of THF hydrate and HCFC-141b hydrate were compared. THF and HCFC-141b hydrate particle size distributions were in accordance with log-normal distribution. The lower the initial solution concentration and the greater the stirring speed
the smaller the hydrate particle size was
that is to say
this treatment could prevent particle agglomeration. HCFC-141b hydrate particles was approximately 1.3 times smaller than THF hydrate particles. HCFC-141b hydrate particles was easier to form slurry and more convenient for pipeline transportation.
