โฆ Synopsis
The kinetics of methane hydrate decomposition was studied using a semibatch stirred-tank reactor. The decomposition was accompljshed by reducing the pressure OR a hydrate slurry in water to a value below the three-phase equilibrium pressure at the reactor temperature. The data were obtained at temperatures from 274 to 283 K and pressures from 0.17 to 6.97 MPa. The stirring rates were high enough to eliminate mass-transfer effects. Analysis of the data indicated that the decomposition rate was proportional to the particle surface area and to the difference in the fugacity of methane at the equilibrium pressure and the decomposition pressure. The proportionality constant showed an Arrhenius temperature
dependence. An estimate of the hydrate particle diameters in the experiments permitted the development of an intrinsic model for the kinetics of hydrate decomposition.

The initial stages of methane thermal decomposition on the surface of three carbon blacks were studied at 815ยฐC in the pressure range l-8 atm. The reaction rate in the initial stage depends on the properties of the carbon surface. The rate for the graphitized channel black is considerably lower than
