Propane Clathrate Hydrate Formation Accelerated by Methanol Jaruwan Amtawong, Jin Guo, Jared S. Hale, Suvrajit Sengupta, Everly B. Fleischer, Rachel W. Martin, and Kenneth C. Janda* Department of Chemistry, University of California, Irvine, California 92697, United States ABSTRACT: The role of methanol as both an inhibitor and a catalyst for the formation of clathrate hydrates (CHs) has been a topic of intense study. We report a new quantitative study of the kinetics of propane CH formation at 253 K from the reaction of propane gas with
