Methane release

Controlling methane release from wetland, rice paddies and gaseous emissions from animals is more problematic. The release from rice paddies and wet lands is slow, intermittent and takes place over a wide geographic area, and thus very difficult to control. Gaseous emissions from agricultural animals contribute to atmospheric accumulation of methane due to fermentative digestion that produces methane in... 

In summary, the NOx mass to convert (difference between engine-out NOx emissions and NOx emissions limit imposed by Diesel Euro standards) governs the requested duration for the rich conditions in the exhaust line (NOx regeneration duration), and thus dictates directly the quantity of methane released in the exhaust line.

The proposed mechanism starts with a methyl group abstraction on platinum complex 416 with the borane reagent in the presence of diyne 414 (Scheme 105). The square-planar cationic diyne-platinum(n) complex 417 is converted to the octahedral platinum(rv) hydride intermediate 418 through oxidative addition of the hydrosilane. This complex decomposes rapidly with methane release to form another tetracoordinated platinum(n) species 419, followed by platinasilylation of the triple bond. The resulting vinylplatinum 420 undergoes an intramolecular carboplatination to... 

Uddin et al. (2008b) conducted several depressurization simulations for the Mallik 5L-38 well. Their results showed that the Mallik gas hydrate layer with its underlying aquifer could yield significant amounts of gas originating entirely from gas hydrates, the volumes of which increased with the production rate. However, large amounts of water were also produced. Sensitivity studies indicated that the methane release from the hydrate accumulations increased with the decomposition surface area, the initial hydrate stability field (P-T conditions), and the thermal conductivity of the formation. Methane production appears to be less sensitive to the specific heat of the rock and of the gas hydrate. 

Methane releases 25% less carbon dioxide per gram than coal, and it emits none of the oxides of nitrogen and sulfur that contribute to acid precipitation. Therefore, using methane in place of other fossil fuels is very desirable. Methane hydrates seem to be an ideal and plentiful pre-packaged source of natural gas. Estimates of the exact amount of methane stored in hydrates suggest there could be... 

A massive release of methane could cause catastrophic global climate change. Some researchers believe that the drastic climate change that occurred during the Pleistocene era was due to methane hydrate destabilization and widespread methane release. 

The heat absorbed or released by a process is proportional to the moles of substance that undergo that process. For example, 2 mol of combusting methane release twice as much heat as 1 mol of combusting methane. 

The energy change accompanying a nuclear reaction is far greater than that accompanying a chemical reaction. The nuclear transformation of 1.0 g of uranium-235 releases 8.2 X 107 kj, for example, whereas the chemical combustion of 1.0 g of methane releases only 56 kj.

Possible chemical mechanisms of methane release have been investigated by studies of the properties of isolated coenzyme F-430 and related nickel complexes. Jaun and Pfaltz [121] demonstrated the formation of methane from the Ni(I) state of F-430 with methyl iodide or methyl sulfonium as methyl donor, though methyl CoM was not effective. With zinc as reductant the reaction became...

Reservoirs may produce substantial amounts of carbon dioxide and methane gas because of the decay of plant material in areas inundated. The methane releases once the water is discharged from the dam and goes through the turbines. The only solution is to clear the reservoir growth. 

The first spectroscopically characterized intermediate in the reaction of the diferrous state (MMOred) with dioxygen is a peroxo species (Intermediate P). This intermediate subsequently converts to a high-valent bis(/x-oxo)diiron(IV) component (Intermediate Q). Intermediate Q reacts with methane releasing methanol and generating a water molecule. 

The combustion of methane releases the quantity of energy A(PE) to the surroundings via heat flow. This is an exothermic process. 

Since methane reacts with hydroxyl, the level of methane in the troposphere is of great interest. There are some indications that the methane level is increasing, which could be due to an increased methane release rate, or a decrease in hydroxyl concentration. Clearly it will be of great importance to establish which of these possibilities is occurring. 

Yes, there is no question that the handling of cattle, and the kinds of cattle, have changed at the same time that the numbers are changing. As far as I know, there are no recent measurements of the methane production per animal, nor any measurements which would allow comparison of the methane yield per animal from one country to another. There have been large differences in the way in which cattle have been treated from one continent to another for a long time. There is very little information about the methane release from different kinds of cattle, for different types of feed, for any of the many variables that obviously can be considered. The methane release estimate per head of cattle is a measured figure, but it is certainly crude to apply any of the measured releases for all types of cattle, on all types of feed, in every location in the world. However, they are the only data available and provide a crude estimate for the world release.

The identification of C-depleted (fi C values as low as -58 per mil) archeal cyclic biphytanes in particulate matter from the Black Sea, where more than 98% of the methane released from sediments is apparently oxidized anaerobically (Reeburgh et al., 1991), provides evidence for AMO in euxinic waters (Schouten et al., 2001). However, the same isotopically depleted compounds were not detected in the underlying sediments, suggesting that the responsible organisms are in low abundance and/or leave no characteristic molecular fingerprint in the sedimentary record.

Today there is little direct CH4 release to atmosphere from the sediment store, except in unusual events such as submarine landsUps or pockmark bursts. In an oxygen-rich atmosphere, methane is removed by OH, and to a minor extent by soil methanotrophs. In the sea, unless they are large, bubbles of methane released from... 

Hydroxyl Population. All of these facts indicate a connection between the hydroxyl population on the silica surface and the catalyst s activity and relative termination rate. Figure 3 plots this decrease in the hydroxyl population. Silica, containing no chromium, was calcined at various temperatures and then reacted with CH3MgI solution. The amount of methane released was taken as an indication of the surface hydroxyl content. As the activation temperature was increased, the hydroxyl population decreased from over 4 OH/nm at 200 C to less than 1 OH/nm at 900 C. However, it never actually reached zero even at the highest temperatures studied, but was always significant compared to the coverage by chromium.
