Experimental studies on the synthesis of HFC 134a hydrate in the liquid HFC 134a – water system were performed. Despite today's lack of research on the use of HFC 134a hydrate for desalination of seawater and separation of harmful impurities by HFC 134a hydrate synthesis, this method has prospects for development: HFC 134a hydrate is synthesized at relatively high temperature and low pressure; it is poorly soluble in water, which simplifies gas hydrate separation from water–salt solution; it has high volumetric storage density and relatively high thermal conductivity. In spite of its low solubility in water, HFC hydrate exhibits relatively high growth rates. The growth of various crystalline forms and the peculiarities of their occurrence in pure water, aqueous salt solution, as well as with the addition of surfactant are considered. The use of SDS increases the HFC hydrate growth rate. For the first time, it was shown that the intensive growth of HFC 134a hydrate in the form of needles throughout the entire volume of the liquid allows increasing the efficiency of desalination. It is important to consider the desalination process comprehensively, taking into account the crystal forms, crystal growth rate, crystal defects, as well as taking into account the degree of salt removal. Simultaneously with the bubble growth, a thin gas hydrate film is shown to grow on the bubble surface. A detailed consideration of the stages of such hydrate growth is provided to explain the high-speed synthesis of porous HFC hydrate due to boiling of liquid HFC and vaporization.
