System and method for promoting generation of gas hydrates by wall-climbing process

Abstract

A system and method for promoting generation of gas hydrates by a wall-climbing process is provided. The hydrate is induced to grow upward along a wall surface, in this process, the initially generated hydrate will form many capillary channels, a reaction liquid will move upward along these capillary channels under the action of a capillary force until the front end contacts with a gas-rich phase to form the hydrate, and so on until the reaction of all the reaction liquid is finished. In the reaction process, the hydrate needs to be induced to climb the wall upward to be generated, rather than grow into a liquid phase, which can enhance not only a gas-liquid mass transfer, but also a gas-hydrate mass transfer.
