Influence of tetramethylammonium hydroxide on methane and carbon dioxide gas hydrate phase equilibrium conditions

In this experimental work, the phase boundaries of TMAOH + H2O + CH4 and TMAOH + H2O + CO2 hydrates are measured at different concentrations of aqueous TMAOH solution. The temperature-cycle (T-cycle) method is applied to measure the hydrate equilibrium temperature of TMAOH + H2O + CH4 and TMAOH + H2...
