Four-phase equilibrium relations including clathrate hydrate phase in a ternary system of xenon, benzene, and water

Abstract

Thermodynamic stability boundaries of xenon (Xe) + benzene mixed hydrate system were measured in a temperature range of (274.1 to 284.4) K and pressure range up to 0.5 MPa. The four-phase equilibrium curve of structure-II hydrate (HsII), aqueous (Lw), C6H6-rich liquid (LHC), and gas (G) phases in the Xe+benzene mixed hydrate system intersects with the three-phase equilibrium curve (HsI+Lw+G) in the structure-I simple Xe hydrate system. The slope of HsII+Lw+LHC+G in the Xe +benzene mixed hydrate system changes around (283.00 ± 0.05) K and (0.420 ± 0.005) MPa. At temperatures above 283.00 K, the structure-II Xe+benzene mixed hydrate collapses and instead, the structure-I simple Xe hydrate is formed.Takeshi Sugahara.
