On the catalytic combustion behavior of lean methane-air mixture over platinum catalyst with the navier-stokes and plug-flow models

Catalytic combustion of lean methane over different Co3O4 nanoparticle catalysts

“…As a highly promising alternative to flame combustion, catalytic combustion of methane has been recognized as one of the most efficient methods for the removal of methane due to its low operating temperature and has drawn extensive attention in the past [ [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] ]. The key issue in this method is to develop a highly active catalyst with long lifetime.…”

“…The key issue in this method is to develop a highly active catalyst with long lifetime. In general, there are two types of catalysts used in catalytic combustion of methane: supported noble metals (e.g., Pd and Pt) [ [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , 27 ] and transition metal oxides (e.g., NiO, CuO, Mn 2 O 3 , and Co 3 O 4 ) [ 17 , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] ]. Although supported noble metal catalysts possess superior catalytic activity for complete oxidation of methane, the high cost and poor anti-sintering ability limit their practical applications.…”
