A single-stage partial oxidation of methane to methanol: a step forward in the synthesis of oxygenates

Abstract

An NTP hybrid system was designed in combination with metal oxide (MOX) coated glass beads (GB) to synthesize value-added fuels and chemicals from methane directly. The combined plasma-packed mode was...

Plasma catalytic technology for CH4 and CO2 conversion: A review highlighting fluidized‐bed plasma reactor

“…A high coupling flux from the plasma phase is welcomed, as DBD allows contact with the catalyst pellet directly and more diffusely. Meanwhile, low-temperature DBD can be well maintained under a wide range of conditions [10,[15][16][17] . Although DBDs are characterized as a weakly ionized discharge, we confirmed through DMR studies that DBDs, particularly those with higher frequencies (100 kHz), can provide sufficient reactive species with SEI below 1.4 eV/molecule in PB-DBD.…”

Recent Advances in the Catalytic Conversion of Methane to Methanol: From the Challenges of Traditional Catalysts to the Use of Nanomaterials and Metal-Organic Frameworks

“…Moreover, other studies have been aimed at addressing the challenges of the partial oxidation of methane to methanol. Some examples to overcome this phenomenon use different approaches such as the activation of methane in a liquid phase using H 2 O 2 as an oxidant for the conversion of methane to methanol over copper-promoted Fe-ZSM-5 [24], a stepwise process for the conversion of CH 4 over Cu-containing zeolite using H 2 O as oxidant [25], a new modified Au-Pd/zeolite catalyst for enhanced methanol productivity by in-situ generated hydrogen peroxide at low temperature (70 • C) [26], a hybrid system combining metal oxide (MO x )-coated glass beads as an alternative to thermal catalysis for the production of liquid oxygenates at atmospheric pressure and room temperature [27], a selective formation of methanol as unique oxygenate in a CO-assisted direct catalytic reaction over Cu-CHA zeolite catalyst [28], and the use of water for the mild oxidation of methane to methanol with high methanol selectivity over a gold single atom on phosphorous nanosheets under light irradiation [29].…”

Probing the structure–property relationships of supported copper oxide nanoclusters for methane activation

“…[10][11][12] One such reaction of significant interest is methane conversion, driven by the abundant supply of natural gas and the demand for value-added products such as methanol. [13][14][15] However, activating the inert C-H s-bond in methane poses a prohibitive energy barrier (435 kJ mol À1 ). In recent years, copper oxide nanoclusters (CuO-NCs) have emerged as promising candidate catalysts for methane activation, exhibiting encouraging results in several studies.…”
