Catalytic partial oxidation of methane to syngas: review of perovskite catalysts and membrane reactors

Catalytic Partial Oxidation of Methane over Fe2(MoO4)3 Catalysts

The study of new energy carriers for sustainable energy conversion processes is a hot research area. Among the potential energy carriers one finds biogas, containing a large fraction of methane, which attracts high interests worldwide. However, to be more useful, e.g., concerning storage and transportation, conversion of gaseous methane fuel into liquid fuel like methanol is desired. The conven...

Perovskite-type Ceramic Membranes Partial Oxidation of Methane in a Catalytic Membrane Reactor Dissertation

Recent Developments in the Partial Oxidation of Methane to Syngas

Natural gas is catalytically converted into several bulk chemicals such as ammonia, methanol, dimethyl ether, and synthetic liquid fuels by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and similar processes. The main step in the conversion of natural gas to these products is the production of synthesis gas with the desired composition ranging from H2/CO = 3:1 used for the production of ammonia to the 1:1 mixture ...

Reverse Flow Catalytic Membrane Reactors for Energy Efficient Syngas Production

Natural gas is becoming an increasingly important energy source, due to the increasing energy demands and declining oil reserves, whereas large volumes of natural gas are still widely available at remote locations. In view of the existing infrastructure for liquid fuels, natural gas is most efficiently used in the transport sector by converting it to liquid fuels via the Gas-To-Liquid process. ...

Catalytic performance of vanadium incorporated MCM-41 catalysts for the partial oxidation of methane to formaldehyde

The catalytic performance of incorporated V-MCM-41 catalysts for the partial direct oxidation of methane to formaldehyde with molecular oxygen has been investigated. V-MCM-41 catalysts containing 0.56–1.86 wt.% V have been prepared by incorporating the vanadium ions into the framework of mesoporous siliceous MCM-41, resulting in a highly ordered structure with large BET surface area and high su...
