Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrates are important in a diverse range of applications and technologies in the environmental and energy fields. The development of such technologies relies on fundamental understanding, which necessitates not only experimental but also computational studies of the growth behavior of CO2 hydrates and the factors affecting their crystal morphology. As experimental observations show that the morphology of CO2 hydrate particles differs depending on growth conditions, a detailed understanding of the relation between the hydrate structure and growth conditions would be helpful. To this end, this work adopts a modeling approach based on hybrid probabilistic cellular automata to investigate variations in CO2 hydrate crystal morphology during hydrate growth from stagnant liquid water presaturated with CO2. The model, which uses free energy density profiles as inputs, correlates the variations in growth morphology to the system subcooling ΔT, i.e., the temperature deficiency from the triple CO2-hydrate-water equilibrium temperature under a given pressure, and properties of the growing hydrate-water interface, such as surface tension and curvature. The model predicts that when ΔT is large, parabolic needle-like or dendrite crystals emerge from planar fronts that deform and lose stability. In agreement with chemical diffusion-limited growth, the position of such planar fronts versus time follows a power law. In contrast, the tips of the emerging parabolic crystals steadily grow in proportion to time. The modeling framework is computationally fast and produces complex growth morphology phenomena under diffusion-controlled growth from simple, easy-to-implement rules, opening the way for employing it in multiscale modeling of gas hydrates.

Abstract
Gas hydrates have gained great interest in the energy and environmental field as a medium for gas storage and transport, gas separation, and carbon dioxide sequestration. The presence of small doses of surfactants in the aqueous phase has been reported to enhance hydrate formation; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Thus, in situ high-resolution X-ray computed tomography measurements were performed to monitor the upward water migration and the resulting hydrate nucleation and growth. It was found that the presence of hydrate crystals at the gas-liquid-solid contact line triggered the enhanced growth of hydrates on the reactor wall. A time delay was observed between the disappearance of the bulk water reservoir and its transformation into hydrate. The lower interfacial tension between the hydrate surface and the solution facilitated its adsorption onto the reactor wall once a thin film of hydrate nucleated on the solid wall surface. These hydrate layers present on the reactor wall were found to be porous, wherein the porosity decreased with increased subcooling. These fundamental results will be of value in understanding the mechanism of hydrate growth in the presence of surfactants and its potential application in hydrate-based technologies.

Abstract
Hydrate problems in industry have historically motivated modeling of hydrates and hydrate phase transition dynamics, and much knowledge has been gained during the last fifty years of research. The interest in natural gas hydrate as energy source is increasing rapidly. Parallel to this, there is also a high focus on fluxes of methane from the oceans. A limited portion of the fluxes of methane comes directly from natural gas hydrates but a much larger portion of the fluxes involves hydrate mounds as a dynamic seal that slows down leakage fluxes. In this work we review some of the historical trends in kinetic modeling of hydrate formation and discussion. We also discuss a possible future development over to classical thermodynamics and residual thermodynamics as a platform for all phases, including water phases. This opens up for consistent thermodynamics in which Gibbs free energy for all phases are comparable in terms of stability, and also consistent calculation of enthalpies and entropies. Examples are used to demonstrate various stability limits and how various routes to hydrate formation lead to different hydrates. A reworked Classical Nucleation Theory (CNT) is utilized to illustrate that nucleation of hydrate is, as expected from physics, a nano-scale process in time and space. Induction times, or time for onset of massive growth, on the other hand, are frequently delayed by hydrate film transport barriers that slow down contact between gas and liquid water. It is actually demonstrated that the reworked CNT model is able to predict experimental induction times.

Abstract
Although natural gas hydrates and hydrate exploration have been extensively studied for decades, the reaction kinetics and nucleation mechanism of hydrate formation is not fully understood. In its early stage, gas hydrate formation can be assumed to be an autocatalytic kinetic reaction with nucleation and initial growth. In this work, a reaction kinetics model has been established to form structure II methane–propane hydrate in an isochoric reactor. The computational model consists of six pseudo-elementary reactions for three dynamic processes: (1) gas dissolution into the bulk liquid, (2) a slow buildup of hydrate precursors for nucleation onset, and (3) rapid and autocatalytic hydrate growth after onset. The model was programmed using FORTRAN, with initiating parameters and rate constants that were derived or obtained from data fitted using experimental results. The simulations indicate that the length of nucleation induction is determined largely by an accumulation of oligomeric hydrate precursors up to a threshold value. The slow accumulation of precursors is the rate-limiting step for the overall hydrate formation, and its conversion into hydrate particles is critical for the rapid, autocatalytic reaction. By applying this model, the memory effect for hydrate nucleation was studied by assigning varied initial amounts of precursor or hydrate species in the simulations. The presence of pre-existing precursors or hydrate particles could facilitate the nucleation stage with a reduced induction time, and without affecting hydrate growth. The computational model with the performed simulations provides insight into the reaction kinetics and nucleation mechanism of hydrate formation.
