Catalytic Conversion of Methane: Carbon Dioxide Reforming and Oxidative Coupling

Miniplant-Scale Analysis of Oxidative Coupling of Methane Process

For more than three decades, Oxidative Coupling of Methane (OCM) process has been comprehensively investigated as an attractive alternative for the commercially available ethylene production technologies such as ethane and naphtha cracking. Developing a suitable catalyst and proper reactor feeding policy, reviewing and deploying the efficient methods in the separation and purification of the un...

Catalytic and Non-catalytic Conversion of Methane to C2 Hydrocarbons in a Low Temperature Plasma

The direct conversion of methane to C2 hydrocarbons, in a quartz tube reactor enforced by a DC corona discharge, was investigated at atmospheric pressure. The process was carried out in the presence of metal oxide catalysts of Mn/W/SiO2, Mn/W/SiO2 (tetraethyl orthosilicate, TEOS), and Mn/W/CNT (supported on carbon nanotubes). The total yield to C2 hydrocarbons in the presence of metal oxide cat...
