METHANE HYDRATE GRANULE AND SLURRY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methane hydrate in a form enabling large quantities of methane hydrate to be stored and transported by a simple means. SOLUTION: The methane hydrate is in the form of a slurry which is obtained by suspending methane hydrate granules in water with a density of greater than 1 each characterized in that a mixture layer comprising methane hydrate and solid granules >1 in density is formed around a core of methane hydrate.
