This article presents the results of experimental studies of the kinetics of methane hydrate formation from frozen ground soy lecithin (particle size 80-140 μm) solutions with lecithin concentrations from 0.1 to 1 wt. % at 273.2 K temperature and initial pressure of about 5 MPa without stirring. It was observed that the presence of soy lecithin additive in frozen powdered solutions enhances the water-to-methane hydrate conversion ratio roughly twofold compared to ground ice. The proposed mechanisms of promotion of methane hydrate formation in frozen powdered soy lecithin solutions are described by use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, viscometry, and optical microscopy.
