A kinetic model of the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) over lanthanum oxide is developed on the basis of mechanistic conclusions obtained elsewhere. A reaction scheme is proposed, and the kinetic parameters corresponding to the different kinetic equations are optimized. Experimental and calculated reaction rates are compared with the aim of testing the proposed scheme and validating the basic mechanistic assumptions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
