 Gas separation of flue gas by tetra-n-butylammonium bromide hydrates under moderate pressure conditionsHidenori Hashimoto, Tsutomu Yamaguchi, Takahiro Kinoshita and Sanehiro Muromachi Energy, 2017, vol. 129, issue C, 292-298 Abstract: Ionic clathrate hydrates are composed of water and ionic guest substance, which can selectively capture gas under moderate conditions. We performed gas separation experiments with tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (TBAB) widely-used for an ionic guest substance. The experiments in a closed system showed good CO2 gas selectivity of the TBAB hydrates even under the mild conditions: 1 MPa and 282 K. We also performed the gas separation with tetrahydrofuran (THF) which is a guest substance forming the structure II clathrate hydrate. Comparison with THF clearly revealed the better CO2 selectivity of TBAB than that of the structure II clathrate hydrate. We further compared our data with the literature, and found that the condition of low pressure and dense TBAB concentration provided superior CO2 selectivity. Gas separation with continuous gas flow was demonstrated. The hydrate formation behavior was similar to the cases without gas flow. The results showed that controlling the crystal growth temperature is important to capture gases by the TBAB hydrates.
