The kinetics and thermodynamics of the growth and decomposition of R134a freon hydrates have been studied. It has been established that synthesis from liquid freon and snow at atmospheric pressure is effective at temperatures below -26°C, and the process is limited by diffusion. The activation energy of hydrate decomposition was 38.7 kJ/mol, and the gas content was 40 ml/g of water. The thermodynamic parameters were determined by the DSC method and the effect of the system's background and the inhibitory effect of a eutectic solution of CaCl₂ (~25°C) on hydrate formation was shown. The process is technologically controllable and promising for use.
