Kinetic investigation of methane hydrate in the presence of Imidazolium Based Ionic Liquid solutions

Methane hydrate formation experiments in the presence of the various imidazolilium based ionic liquid solutions with 0.5wt% concentration including 1-buthyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate ([BMIM][MeSO4]) , 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([EMIM][HSO4]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate ([EMIM][EtSO4]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF4]) and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([OH-EMIM][BF4]) were conducted in a high pressure reactor at the same temperature. The induction time, gas consumption and temperature were measured.The results of experiments were indicated that [EMIM][EtSO4] and [BMIM][MeSO4] had the kinetic inhibiton effects meanwhile the other ionic liquids could be able to apply as the kinetic promoters
