Popis: The formation of gas hydrate was carried out for (methane + ethylene + tetrahydrofuran (THF) + H2O) in a batch stirred reactor. Experimental data on the number of gas moles consumed were obtained at pressures ranging from (1.4 to 4) MPa and at temperatures from (273.15 to 276.15) K. The influence of temperature and initial pressure on hydrate formation rate was studied, respectively. The kinetic model by Firoozabadi and co-workers coupled with the Chen−Guo hydrate model was used to predict the rate of gas hydrate formation for a gas mixture from pure gas data. This study could be useful for the recovery of ethylene from a gas mixture by forming clathrate hydrate in the chemical and petrochemical industry.
