Abstract
Thermodynamic
stability boundary of structure-H hydrates with large
guest species and methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) at extremely high pressures
has been almost unclear. In the present study, the four-phase equilibrium
relations in the structure-H CH<sub>4</sub> + 1,1,2,2,3,3,4-heptafluorocyclopentane
(1,1,2,2,3,3,4-HFCP) mixed hydrate system were investigated in a temperature
range of (281.05 to 330.12) K and a pressure range up to 373 MPa.
The difference between equilibrium pressures in the structure-H CH<sub>4</sub> + 1,1,2,2,3,3,4-HFCP mixed hydrate system and the structure-I
simple CH<sub>4</sub> hydrate system gets larger with increase in
temperature. The structure-H CH<sub>4</sub> + 1,1,2,2,3,3,4-HFCP mixed
hydrate survives even at 330 K and 373 MPa without any structural
phase transition. The maximum temperature where the structure-H CH<sub>4</sub> + 1,1,2,2,3,3,4-HFCP mixed hydrate is thermodynamically stable
is likely to be beyond that of the structure-H simple CH<sub>4</sub> hydrate
