摘      要：It is known that salt ions are abundant in the natural environment where natural gas hydrates are located;thus,it is essential to investigate the self-preservation effect of salt ions on methane *** dissociation behaviors of gas hydrates formed from various NaCl concentration solutions in a quartz sand system at 268.15 K were investigated to reveal the microscopic mechanism of the self-preservation effect under different salt *** showed that as the salt concentration rises,the initial rate of hydrate decomposition *** hydrate hardly shows self-preservation ability in the 3.35%(mass)NaCl and seawater systems at 268.15 *** the morphology of hydrate observed by the confocal microscope with results obtained from in situ Raman spectroscopy,it was found that during the initial decomposition stage of gas hydrate below the ice point,gas hydrate firstly converts into liquid water and gas molecules,then turns from water to solid ice rather than directly transforming into solid ice and gas *** presence of salt ions interferes with the ability of liquid water to condense into solid *** results of this study provide an important guide for the mechanism and application of the self-preservation effect on the storage and transport of gas and the exploitation of natural gas hydrates.
