Methane hydrate formation in hydrophilic and hydrophobic porous model carbons
The proposal aims to evaluate the formation of methane hydrate in the cavities of hydrophobic and hydrophilic porous model carbons. Traditionally, methane hydrates are formed in nature under demanding conditions of low temperature and high pressure. However, by taking advantage of the confinement effects, these structures can be synthesized under milder conditions, faster kinetics and with a stoichiometry that mimics nature. The surface chemistry of the pore wall affects considerable the state of the confined water which, at the same time, may have an influence in the formation of methane hydrates. In order to gain knowledge on this process, we propose the use of two different model carbons exhibiting equal textural properties but different hydrophilicity to grow methane hydrate nanocrystals. Although the formation of these methane hydrate structures in nanopores has been already anticipated from our conventional methane adsorption measurements, Inelastic Neutron Scattering is the most suitable technique to identify the water confined structure and its effect on the methane hydrate formation process.
