Abstract :
In this study, graphene nano-sheets were grown
and synthesized on copper foils and the structure was
analyzed with XRD, FTIR and SEM. After that, 1 wt%
low-layer graphene nano-sheets were added to water and
stabilized by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Prepared
nano-fluid was then used in hydrate formation of natural
gas at 1000 psig and 4 C. The results were compared with
a SDS/water system and observed that graphene nanosheets
had reduced the dissolution time 19.2 %, induction
time 54.7 % and the amount of gas storage is increased
7.6 %. Hydrate stability test showed that the hydrate stability
is also increased 5.9 %.
