Use Of Natural Gas Become a Petrochemical with Zeolite Catalyst

Methane is a hydrocarbon compound that can be used for various purposes. Currently, methane widely as fuel, and continues to developed synthetic gas material petrochemical products have added value, one of which formaldehyde. This study aimed the partial catalytic oxidation reaction formaldehyde using MoO 3 /zeolite catalyst. Reactant stream consisting pure O 2 CH 4 were contacted with rate ratio 1:20, put into Fixed Bed Reactor therein contained 30 grams catalyst /zeolite, pressure was maintained at 1 atm. The temperature flow incoming reactant variables. main product produced formaldehyde, besides there also OH, CO, CO , H O. results analyzed Gas Chromatography, so it known converted 5.18% volume fraction formed 1.46%.
