ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for continuously producing gas clathrates, comprising: introducing a reaction gas and a reaction liquid both required for clathrate formation into a reaction chamber; adjusting in the reaction chamber the conditions such that clathrates form; adjusting the conditions in an outlet port of the reaction chamber such that ice-containing clathrates form in the outlet port of the reaction chamber, and arranging a cooling device in the outlet port and within the outlet port, to block the outlet port on the reaction chamber side; comminuting the ice-containing clathrates into ice chips using a comminutor, downstream from the cooling device and upstream from a transport line connected to the outlet port for removing the ice chips from the transport line side of the outlet port; and transporting the ice chips containing clathrates away via the transport line connected to the outlet port.
