Following the all-vapor instantaneous formation of gas hydrates by FTIR spectroscopy

What is it about?

The time required for gas hydrate formation has been reduced from hours to sub-seconds using an all-vapor approach and spectroscopy allows quantitative measure of the gas uptake. Method should find applications to control of CO2 and methane gases in industry and environment.

Why is it important?

The high rates of gas hydrate formation is such as to greatly enhance the opportunity for their use in control of CO2 and methane in industry and the environment. Spectroscopic FTIR methodology provides simple quantitative method of following the all-vapor process.
