Abstract

In order to confirm the critical micelle concentrations (CMC) of anionic surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) under hydrate formation conditions, the surface tension of SDS and SDBS solution with different concentrations were measured by ring method in the temperature range of 0?20℃. The influence mechanism of surfactant on the surface tension of solution system was revealed and verified through formation experiment of C3H8 hydrate, the CMC of SDS and SDBS solution under conditions of HCFC?141b hydrate formation were determined. The results showed that the effect of surfactant on surface tension decrease of water is most obvious when the weight concentration of SDS and SDBS solution was below 500?10?6 and 100?10?6, the CMC of SDS and SDBS solution are 1950?10?6 and 400?10?6, respectively, near the conditions of HCFC?141b hydrate formation. Under the CMC, surfactant obviously promoted the formation process of C3H8 hydrate and shortened the induction time and increase the formation rate of gas hydrate.
