Selective methane oxidation over promoted oxide catalysts

Economic evaluation and market analysis for natural gas utilization. Topical report

“…Lehigh University [74] is investigating catalytic processes for the selective oxidation of methane to C2 hydrocarbons and methanol under relatively mild reaction conditions. The use of acid promoted SrLa203 has been shown to be very selective for the conversion of methane to C2 hydroczkzz Further work will be directed toward conversion to oxygenates.…”
