Kinetic study on cyclopentane hydrates in the presence of sodium chloride

Water is an important resource for human life. The lack of clean water in the world now becomes more serious. As a result, seawater desalination to produce fresh water is becoming indispensable. In recent years, hydrate-based desalination is a potential solution for the drinking water shortage issue. Recently, Cyclopentane (CP) is used as a hydrate former for desalination process via crystallization at low temperature and atmospheric pressure.
