    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for distribution of oxygen-containing gas within a gas-liquid oxidation reaction are provided herein. The invention is particularly suited for oxidation of liquid-phase organic reactants with oxidizing gas, such as the oxidation of cyclohexylbenzene to cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide using an oxygen-containing gas. The oxygen-containing gas is distributed through a gas distributor and into a liquid-phase reaction medium within an oxidation reactor. In some aspects, this achieves a high degree of uniformity of oxygen concentration within the liquid-phase reaction medium. The gas distributor is disposed within a lower portion of the reactor, and may comprise a network of conduits in fluid communication with each other, which are arranged within a plane that is substantially parallel to a bottom surface of the reactor. A plurality of orifices are disposed on the conduits, such that oxygen-containing gas flows through the conduits and into the liquid-phase reaction medium via the orifices.

    Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for extracting stranded gas (such as natural gas or hydrogen) or a mixture of oil and natural gas from a subterranean environment such as beneath the ocean floor and converting it into a solid hydrate such as a clathrate featuring a) extracting stranded gas (such as natural gas or hydrogen) or a mixture of oil and natural gas; b) optionally separating the natural gas from the mixture of oil and natural gas in a first tank or vessel; c) transporting the stranded gas to a second tank or vessel; d) introducing sea water into the second tank or vessel; e) mixing the stranded gas and water to form a clathrate hydrate/water slurry; f) removing excess water from the clathrate hydrate slurry to form a solid comprising a clathrate hydrate; and g) processing the solid comprising a clathrate hydrate into a transportable form; and h) optionally collecting the gas into a transportable vessel.

    Abstract: A system with a non-thermal, repetitively-pulsed gliding discharge reactor for converting gaseous hydrocarbons into liquid fuels efficiently. The system optionally contains a gas separator for removing non-hydrocarbon components from the gaseous hydrocarbon feed to improve efficiency of the system. The system may optionally reclaim hydrogen gas from the product gas for storage, transportation or power generation.
