Oxidative dimerisation of methane on supported palladium oxide catalysts

TLDR
In this article, the authors used supported palladium oxide catalysts to convert CH4 to C2H6, CO, CO 2, CO2, H2 and H2O at temperatures below 400 °C.
Abstract
Supported palladium oxide catalysts are able to convert CH4 to C2H6, CO, CO2, H2 and H2O at temperatures ⩾315 °C. Catalysts did not show any support effect when TiO2, Al2O3, ZrO2, La2O3 and MgO were used as supports. With sequential O2 pulsing the catalyst showed long term activity when used at temperatures below 400 °C. Addition of Pt increased selectivity whereas with Ga it decreased. Results indicate participation of lattice O2 from catalyst in the reaction pathway.

The catalytic conversion of methane to higher hydrocarbons

TL;DR: In this article, it has been shown that at high temperatures, at atmospheric pressure and at temperatures in excess of 650°C, combined ethane and ethylene (C2) yields of 20% have been achieved.

Low temperature oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over catalysts based on group VIII metals

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the catalytic properties of unsupported Fe, Co and Ni catalysts in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (ODHE) at low temperature and found that the selectivity towards ethylene is found to be ca. 60% at low conversion.

Low temperature oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over new catalysts based on group VIII metals

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effect of group VIII metals on the selective oxidation of ethane and showed that Pd leads mainly to total oxidation with Ni, surprisingly, is active and selective for the oxidative dehydrogenation of the ethane.

Synthesis of ethylene via oxidative coupling of methane: I. Determination of active catalysts

TL;DR: The most active catalysts for C2 formation were the oxides of Sn, Pb, Sb, Bi, Tl, Cd and Mn, while Li, Mg, Zn, Ti, Zr, Mo, Fe, Cr, W, Cu, Ag, Pt, Ce, V, B and Al showed little or no activity.

Oxidative Coupling of Methane to Higher Hydrocarbons

TL;DR: In this paper, a possible route is oxidative dimerization of methane followed by oligomerization of the C2 products, which can be used as feedstock for the production of chemicals or liquid fuels.

Active and selective catalysts for the synthesis of C2H4 and C2H6 via oxidative coupling of methane

TL;DR: In this article, active and selective catalysts for oxidative coupling of methane were tested over many metal oxides (30 oxides) under the experimental conditions chosen (T = 973 K, PO2 = 0.4 kPa, PCH4 = 18.2 kPa and PHe = 82.7 kPa).

Gas phase coupling of methyl radicals during the catalytic partial oxidation of methane

TL;DR: In this article, a lower limit for the rate of gas-phase CH/sub 3/* radical formation over a lithium-promoted MgO catalysts has been determined and this result is compared with the overall rate of C/sub 2/H/sub 6/ formation.
