The invention belongs to the technical field of
energy materials, and discloses a
hydrate accelerator and its application in the preparation of gas
hydrate with high gas storage density. The accelerator includes
amino acid and water; it is formed by uniformly mixing 100 parts by
mass of water and 0.05-5 parts by
mass of
amino acid. Said application is specifically mixing 100 parts by
mass of water and 0.05 to 5 parts by mass of
amino acid to obtain an aqueous accelerator solution; placing the aqueous accelerator solution in a high-
pressure reactor, feeding high-pressure gas at a low temperature, and reacting for a period of time , to obtain
solid gas hydrates with high gas storage density. The accelerator of the present invention is green and
environmentally friendly; it can shorten the hydration
induction time, increase the gas storage capacity, and increase the gas storage density; at the same time, the accelerator of the present invention is cheap, small in dosage, wide in source, recyclable and reusable, and has no effect on
temperature and pressure conditions. There is no special requirement; the method for preparing the gas
hydrate with high gas storage density is fast, efficient, simple and easy to realize.
