Sulfated Tin Oxide as Highly Selective Catalyst for the Chlorination of Methane to Methyl Chloride

Abstract: The chlorination of methane (CH4) is an attractive route to convert CH4 into more valuable chemicals. The selective formation of methyl chloride (CH3Cl) is a key process, but it is rather difficult to achieve with high selectivity due to a radical reaction. Catalytic ionic processes can be a solution. Herein, sulfated tin oxide (STO) was employed in the gas-phase catalytic chlorination of CH4. The STO catalyst exhibited high selectivity to CH3Cl (>96%) even at high CH4 conversion. By applying a suite of physic… Show more

“…Gorin et al [39] studied methane chlorination kinetics in reactions between methane and molten salt consisting of KCl-CuCl-CuCl 2 in 1948. This area of research is still active today [40,41]. The highest selectivity achieved for CH 3 Br was 99% and 20% conversion of methane over 20% SbOF 3 /Al 2 O 3 at 200 • C, at GHSV (gas hour space velocity) of 100 mL/(g h) and CH 4 /Br 2 ratio of 5.…”

“…SnO 2 , which possesses many merits such as abundant reserve, low cost, environmental friendliness and chemical stability, is emerging as a promising catalytic material in many applications. 30–37 For example, Wang et al 32 developed a new-type Fe–SnO 2 catalyst for ambient N 2 fixation. The experimental and theoretical results indicated that the OV-anchored single-atom Fe can effectively adsorb and activate N 2 , lowering the energy barrier for the vital breakage of chemically inert N 2 molecules.…”
