When the pipeline is difficult to use for transporting hydrocarbon gas, the same method as the above-mentioned storage method is used. For example, regarding the storage and transportation of natural gas, in Japan, where it is difficult to transport by natural gas pipelines from gas wells, it is transported and stored as liquefied natural gas (LNG, temperature -160 ° C or lower). . The LNG method has drawbacks in that energy loss required for liquefaction is large, vaporization loss due to heat input to the storage tank is inevitable, and long-term storage is impossible.

Due to this crystal structure, the gas hydrate has a high gas content, and its use as a gas storage and transport medium is being studied. When gas hydrate is used as a gas storage and transport medium, it is generally necessary to maintain a high pressure because the stability conditions of the gas hydrate are high. FIG. 1 shows the relationship between temperature and pressure (dissociation pressure curve) at which gaseous hydrates of methane, carbon dioxide and propane are stably present (Cold Region Technical Papers and Reports Vol. 14, 267-). 271, 1998). Each gas hydrate exists stably at a lower temperature and a higher pressure than the respective dissociation pressure curves. The dissociation pressure, the lowest pressure at which gas hydrate can be stably present, decreases with decreasing temperature, but generally results in high pressure conditions. For example, the dissociation pressure of a gaseous hydrate of methane is about 2.6 MPa at a temperature of 0 ° C. and 0.1 MPa (corresponding to atmospheric pressure) at a temperature of about −78 ° C.

It was pressurized to Pa. The temperature of the antifreeze in the thermostat is + 2 ℃
Was adjusted to By promoting gas-liquid contact by the stirrer 2, gaseous hydrate 9 of methane was generated, and the water was in a slurry state. Next, water was drained from the pressure vessel 1 by operating the valve of the drainage pipe 4 for adjusting the amount of water. The gas hydrate of methane remains in the pressure vessel because the solid-liquid separation filter 5 is installed. The amount of water remaining in the pressure vessel was variously adjusted by adjusting the amount of drainage.
Next, the water remaining in the pressure vessel 2 was frozen by adjusting the temperature of the antifreeze in the thermostat to −30 ° C. Finally, by exhausting methane gas from the pressure vessel,
The pressure in the pressure vessel 1 became atmospheric pressure. The sample removed from the pressure vessel is a composition consisting of gaseous hydrate of methane, but having ice on at least a part of its surface. That is, it is a composition in which at least a part of the surface of the gas hydrate is covered with ice or the gas hydrate is present in ice.

水量の増大とともに顕著になることが明らかである。[0012] The stability of the sample was evaluated by measuring the flow rate of the gas flowing out of the sample filled in the airtight container. FIG. 3 shows the results of evaluating the stability of the sample in which the amount of residual water in the pressure vessel was changed at a temperature of −30 ° C.
Shown in The flow rate on the vertical axis is an integrated value and is standardized by the total gas amount. At the end of each measurement, the temperature is + 5 ° C.
, The total gas amount was determined. Ru in the figure
n1 is the case where the amount of methane gas contained in 1 g of the sample (total weight of ice and hydrate) is 60 mL in terms of standard condition (ice / hydrate weight ratio = 1.7). After about 20% of the total gas amount flowed out, the integrated gas amount became constant, indicating that the gas hydrate was stabilized. Run 2 was measured when the amount of methane gas contained in 1 g of the sample was 110 mL in standard condition conversion (ice /
Hydrate weight ratio = 0.5), and the residual water amount at the time of production is Ru.
less than n1. In this case, it indicates that the gas has stabilized after about 80% of the total gas amount has flowed out. In the case of a sample containing 170 mL of methane in terms of standard state per 1 g of the sample (weight ratio of ice / hydrate = 1), almost all of the gas flowed out without stabilization of the gas hydrate. From the above results, it is clear that the gas hydrate is stabilized by freezing the gas hydrate with water under pressure, and that the degree of the stabilization becomes remarkable as the residual water amount increases.

可能なことは当然である。The effect of stabilizing the gas hydrate by freezing water and gas hydrate under pressure is that the frozen ice coats the surface of the gas hydrate and causes the decomposition of the gas hydrate. This is due to the suppressing action. Therefore, the hydrocarbon hydrate produced by contacting the gas with ice or water, as well as the above example, can be heated or depressurized at a temperature below the freezing point by heating or depressurizing the hydrate. Naturally, it is possible to stabilize the hydrocarbon hydrate also by decomposing and vaporizing a part of the hydrocarbon to form an ice shell on the surface layer.

In this composition, the proportion of water (ice) is 0.1 to 2 parts by weight, preferably 0.5 to 1.5 parts by weight, per 1 part by weight of the gas hydrate. If the ice content is less than the above range, the storage stability of the gaseous hydrate will deteriorate. On the other hand, if it is larger than the above range, the economic efficiency is deteriorated. The temperature for storage or transportation of the composition in which the gaseous hydrate is present in ice is a temperature below the freezing point, usually -5 to -50C, preferably -15 to -30C. The pressure for storage and transport varies depending on the type of gas hydrate, storage or transport temperature, and the like, but is usually about atmospheric pressure to about 10 atm.
