1. A system for removing one or more contaminants from water, the system comprising:
a hydrate formation chamber assembly:
a contaminated water diffusion assembly within the hydrate formation chamber assembly, the contaminated water diffusion assembly configured to aerosolize the contaminated water to form aerosolized contaminated water;
a space between a wall of the hydrate formation chamber assembly and the diffusion assembly; and
a guest compound conduit configured to provide a guest compound to within the space and form a hydrate comprising water and the guest compound from the aerosolized contaminated water provided from the contaminated water diffusion assembly.
