  • Gas hydrates and clathrates: Flow assurance, environmental and economic perspectives and the Nigerian liquified natural Gas project
    Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2007
    Co-Authors: B. C. Gbaruko, J. C. Igwe, P. N. Gbaruko, R. C. Nwokeoma
    Abstract:

    Gas hydrates are nonstoichiometric crystalline compounds that belong to the inclusion group known as clathrates. They occur when water Molecules attach themselves together through hydrogen bonding and form cavities which can be occupied by a single Gas or volatile liquid Molecule. Gas hydrates, asphaltenes and waxes are three major threats to flow assurance that must be well assessed by design team uptime. Gas hydrates are also looked upon as a future energy source and as a potential climate hazard. The purpose of this review is to show the chemistry and mechanism of Gas hydrate formation, the problems they pose, especially to flow assurance, their system implications, their environmental and economic perspectives with respect to their prospects as storage and transport alternative to the liquefied natural Gas technology.

  • The Effect of Adsorbed Molecule Gas-Phase Deprotonation Enthalpy on Ion Exchange in Sodium Exchanged Zeolites: An In Situ FTIR Investigation
    Topics in Catalysis, 2015
    Co-Authors: Brian Murphy, Mark E. Davis, Bingjun Xu
    Abstract:

    Molecular-level understanding of the interactions between reactants and the surface of solid catalysts is of importance to the rational design of catalysts. Here, in situ transmission Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is employed to investigate the ion exchange between the acidic hydrogen in organic Molecules that have been adsorbed from the Gas phase and sodium cations in zeolites. Organic compounds with functional groups common among key biomass-derived compounds are used as probe Molecules. We demonstrate that ion exchange between acidic hydrogen in organic Molecules and the sodium cations in zeolites with the FAU topology produces Brønsted acid sites and the corresponding adsorbed salt species by identifying signature spectroscopic bands. Furthermore, the Gas-phase deprotonation enthalpy (GPDE) of the organic compounds is identified as a key descriptor in determining the feasibility and extent of the exchange process. Molecules with GPDE below 1462 kJ/mol, e.g., m -cresol (1462 kJ/mol), propanoic acid (1454), acetic acid (1457), acrylic acid (1440) and trifluoroacetic acid (1357), show clear vibrational bands for Brønsted acid sites and the corresponding sodium salts, while Molecules with higher GPDE, such as trifluoroethanol (1513), ethanol (1586), and water (1622) do not. These data indicate that the degree of dissociation of the acidic hydrogen is a key element in the ion exchange. The generality of this process in zeolites is established by the observation of similar results on zeolites with differing topologies (FAU, MFI, *BEA, and MOR).
