The selective oxidation of methane to ethane and ethylene over doped and un-doped rare earth oxides

Abstract: A comparison has been made of the behaviour in the oxidative coupling of methane of the oxides of Sm, Dy, Gd, La and Tb with that of a Li/MgO material. All but the Tb407 (which gave total oxidation) were found to give higher yields than the Li/MgO material at temperatures up to approaching 750°C but the Li/MgO system gave better results at higher temperatures. The cubic structure of Sm203 was found to be responsible for its good performance while the monoclinic structure was relatively inactive and unselective… Show more

“…Thus, the higher performance of Gd2O3-2 was attributed to the presence of both cubic and monoclinic crystal structures in the sample. Similar results were observed for Sm2O3 catalysts in the literature which supported the obtained conclusion [17]. Additionally, the presence of two phase seem to be beneficial for the dehydrogenation of C2H6 as could be seen from the results.…”

“…XRD results of the Sm 2 O 3 catalysts synthesized in different morphologies were presented in Figure 1. It was determined that all catalysts crystallized well and have cubic Sm 2 O 3 (JCPDS 43‐1029) crystal structures, which are known to perform better than other phases [10,11] . Average crystallite sizes, lattice parameters and BET surface areas of the catalysts were given in Table 1.…”

“…The addition of Ti and Mg into the Na 2 WO 4 –MnO x /SiO 2 catalyst was also reported to improve the OCM activity when Na 2 WO 4 and MnO x were on the external surface of the silica, but it was unclear how these two additives improved the activation . Oxides of alkali or alkali earth metals (e.g., Li 2 O, ,, Na 2 O, , K 2 O, , Rb 2 O, Cs 2 O, MgO, ,, CaO, ,,, SrO, ,,, and/or BaO) have been used as additives for various catalysts for the OCM reaction and were found to enhance the OCM activity because of their basicity property. In other words, they are unlike oxides of acidic metals, which prefer the complete oxidation of methane .…”
