Enhanced Methane Conversion to Olefins and Aromatics by H-Donor Molecules under Nonoxidative Condition

Non-oxidative conversion of methane to aromatics over modified zeolite catalysts by transitional metals

The activity of different transitional metals over modified H-ZSM-5 catalysts for methane conversion to aromatics was compared. The first group of catalysts was Mo-impregnated H-ZSM-5 zeolites with 1, 3 and 6 wt% of Mo. The second group was M(3 wt%)- impregnated H-ZSM-5 (M: Ag, Cd, Cr, Mo, Zn and Mn). The catalytic activity of the first group was investigated at 600, 700 and 800 °C and gas hour...

Synergetic Effects of Plasma, Temperature and Diluant on Nonoxidative Conversion of Methane to C2+ Hydrocarbons in a Dielectric Barrier Discharge Reactor

Noncatalytic and nonoxidative conversion of methane in a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor is examined at different temperatures, gas residence times and input powers. In addition, the ratio of methane to helium as a diluant, is changed in the range of 0.6 to 1.8. Results show significant synergetic effects of plasma, temperature and helium on the methane conversion and C2+</s...

The Fabrication of Ga2O3/ZSM-5 Hollow Fibers for Efficient Catalytic Conversion of n-Butane into Light Olefins and Aromatics

In this study, the dehydrogenation component of Ga2O3 was introduced into ZSM-5 nanocrystals to prepare Ga2O3/ZSM-5 hollow fiber-based bifunctional catalysts. The physicochemical features of as-prepared catalysts were characterized by means of XRD, BET, SEM, STEM, NH3-TPD, etc., and their performances for the catalytic conversion of n-butane to produce light olefins and aromatics were investiga...

Production of Green Aromatics and Olefins by Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis of Wood Sawdust

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...
