The performance of five imidazolium-based ionic liquids as a new class of gas hydrate inhibitors has been investigated. Their effects on the equilibrium hydrate dissociation curve in a pressure range of 30-110 bar and the induction time of hydrate formation at 114 bar and a high degree of supercooling, i.e., about 25 degrees C, are measured in a high-pressure micro differential scanning calorimeter. It is found that these ionic liquids, due to their strong electrostatic charges and hydrogen bond with water, could shift the equilibrium hydrate dissociation/stability curve to a lower temperature and, at the same time, retard the hydrate formation by slowing down the hydrate nucleation rate, thus are able to act as both thermodynamic and kinetic inhibitors. This dual function is expected to make this type of inhibitors perform more effectively than the existing inhibitors. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
