Gas hydrates in permafrost

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASEN2,volume 76))

Abstract

Gas hydrates are supramolecular crystalline formations from water and gas molecules which are referred to inclusion compounds. For the geocryologists they are a relatively new study area which has been under active investigation for only the last three decades, though the gas hydrates per se have been known since 1881. By bubbling gaseous chlorine through water, Davy [1] observed that the water solution of chlorine freezes faster than pure water, whereas the dry gas does not undergo any changes even at a temperature of - 40°F (−40°C). Davy related this phenomenon to the formation of chlorine hydrate.
