The sonocrystallisation experiment of gas hydrates within a water bath was carried out in a 15 kHz ultrasonic field. First
the influence of the different positions of the probe in the liquids on the process was investigated. Second
the comparison of the results at different supercooling was performed. A great deal of gas hydrate slurry was observed just in 5s after ultrasonic waves passed through the fluid system
and nucleation less depends on the supercooling. However
the growth time decreases with the supercooling increase. The energy consumption is lower under the same conditions with the probe at the interface. It is suggested that these results be caused by the effects of the ultrasonic cavitation.
