چکیده

The comment and response concerning the report of oxidation of methane to methanol by water (Reports, 5 May 2017, p. 523) do not fully capture the implications of thermodynamic limitations. A nonisothermal process in which each cycle requires a large temperature swing and permits only substoichiometric methane conversion surely could not be carried out on any practical scale.

Response to Comment on “Selective anaerobic oxidation of methane enables direct synthesis of methanol”

Periana argues that the stepwise reaction of methane with water is thermodynamically unfavorable and therefore impractical. We reply by presenting an in-depth thermodynamic analysis of each step in the process and show that the surface concentrations of the reactants and products as well as the stabilizing effect of additional water molecules, as discussed in the original paper, fully support t...

Direct methane conversion to methanol by ionic liquid-dissolved platinum catalysts.

Ternary systems of inorganic Pt salts and oxides, ionic liquids and concentrated sulfuric acid are effective at catalyzing the direct, selective oxidation of methane to methanol and appear to be more water tolerant than the Catalytica reaction.

Improved Efficiency for Partial Oxidation of Methane by Controlled Copper Deposition on Surface‐Modified ZSM‐5

The mono(μ-oxo) dicopper cores present in the pores of Cu-ZSM-5 are active for the partial oxidation of methane to methanol. However, copper on the external surface reduces the ratio of active, selective sites to unselective sites. More efficient catalysts are obtained by controlling the copper deposition during synthesis. Herein, the external exchange sites of ZSM-5 samples were passivated by ...

بررسی تولید گاز سنتز در راکتور پلاسما گلایدینگ به روش اکسیداسیون جزئی متان

Synthesis gas is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide which is used in many chemical and metallurgy processes and is the main intermediary for some chemical compounds like methanol and ammonia, liquid fuels and solvents. Various methods of synthesis gas are available and partial oxidation of methane is one of them. One of the newest techniques is to use plasma reactors for this purpose whi...

XoxF-type methanol dehydrogenase from the anaerobic methanotroph “Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera”.

“Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera” is a newly discovered anaerobic methanotroph that, surprisingly, oxidizes methane through an aerobic methane oxidation pathway. The second step in this aerobic pathway is the oxidation of methanol. In Gramnegative bacteria, the reaction is catalyzed by pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-dependent methanol dehydrogenase (MDH). The genome of “Ca. Methylomirabilis...
