Book excerpt: Catalytic oxidation of methane to partial oxidation products, primarily formaldehyde and C[sub 2] hydrocarbons, was found to be directed by the catalyst used. In this project, it was discovered that a moderate oxidative coupling catalyst for C[sub 2] hydrocarbons, zinc oxide, is modified by addition of small amounts of Cu and Fe dopants to yield fair yields of formaldehyde. A similar effect was observed with Cu/Sn/ZnO catalysts, and the presence of a redox Lewis acid, Fe[sup III] or Sn[sup IV], was found to be essential for the selectivity switch from C[sub 2] coupling products to formaldehyde. The principle of double doping with an oxygen activator (Cu) and the redox Lewis acid (Fe, Sn) was pursued further by synthesizing and testing the CuFe-ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst. The Cu[sup II](ion exchanged) Fe[sup III](framework)-ZSM-5 also displayed activity for formaldehyde synthesis, with space time yields exceeding 100 g/h-kg catalyst. However, the selectivity was low and earlier claims in the literature of selective oxidation of methane to methanol over CuFe-ZSM-5 were not reproduced. A new active and selective catalytic system (M=Sb, Bi, Sn)/SrO/La[sub 2]O[sub 3] has been discovered for potentially commercially attractive process for the conversion of methane to C[sub 2] hydrocarbons, (ii) a new principle has been demonstrated for selectivity switching from C[sub 2] hydrocarbon products to formaldehyde in methane oxidations over Cu, Fe-doped zinc oxide and ZSM-5, and (iii) a new approach has been initiated for using ultrafine metal dispersions for low temperature activation of methane for selective conversions. Item (iii) continues being supported by AMOCO while further developments related to items (i) and (ii) are the objective of our continued effort under the METC-AMOCO proposed joint program.

Book excerpt: Catalytic oxidation of methane to partial oxidation products, primarily formaldehyde and C2 hydrocarbons, was found to be directed by the catalyst used. In this project, it was discovered that a moderate oxidative coupling catalyst for C2 hydrocarbons, zinc oxide, is modified by addition of small amounts of Cu and Fe dopants to yield fair yields of formaldehyde. A similar effect was observed with Cu/Sn/ZnO catalysts, and the presence of a redox Lewis acid, Fe{sup III} or Sn{sup IV}, was found to be essential for the selectivity switch from C2 coupling products to formaldehyde. The principle of double doping with an oxygen activator (Cu) and the redox Lewis acid (Fe, Sn) was pursued further by synthesizing and testing the CuFe-ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst. The Cu{sup II}(ion exchanged) Fe{sup III}(framework)-ZSM-5 also displayed activity for formaldehyde synthesis, with space time yields exceeding 100 g/h-kg catalyst. However, the selectivity was low and earlier claims in the literature of selective oxidation of methane to methanol over CuFe-ZSM-5 were not reproduced. A new active and selective catalytic system (M=Sb, Bi, Sn)/SrO/La2O3 has been discovered for potentially commercially attractive process for the conversion of methane to C2 hydrocarbons, (ii) a new principle has been demonstrated for selectivity switching from C2 hydrocarbon products to formaldehyde in methane oxidations over Cu, Fe-doped zinc oxide and ZSM-5, and (iii) a new approach has been initiated for using ultrafine metal dispersions for low temperature activation of methane for selective conversions.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study a catalyst that works at low temperature and atmospheric pressure for the oxidation of methane to methanol and formaldehyde was developed. Catalyst preparation was based on the fact that the higher activity and selectivity to the desired products obtained over supported catalysts, compared to bulk oxides, can be attributed to the formation of easily reducible supported metal oxide phases.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The kinetics of the vapor phase air oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde over molybdenum oxide catalysts, antimony oxide catalyst, and their mixtures (both supported and unsupported), at atmospheric pressure and different operating conditions, have been studied in a fixed-bed integral reactor heated by a fluidized sand bath. The effect of various process variables, namely the process temperature (T), the ratio of catalysts to feed flow rate or space time (W/F), and the ratio of methanol fed to air (R), on conversion and yield have been determined. A screening study at varying operating conditions was performed to determine the optimum composition of a Sb$\sb2\rm O\sb4$-MoO$\sb3$ mixture. On the basis of this study a catalyst containing 67% $\rm Sb\sb2O\sb4$-33% MoO$\sb3$ was selected for the detailed kinetic study of oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde. The operating conditions studied were as follows: temperature in the range 623 to 698 K, space times from 5 to 50 $\rm g\sb{cat}/mol\sb{CH\sb3OH}h\sp{-1},$ and methanol to air ratios in the range 0.04 to 0.10 mol$\rm\sb{CH\sb3OH}h\sp{-1}/mol\sb{air}h\sp{-1}.$ This catalyst proved to be highly active and selective to formaldehyde formation. Yields up to $\sim$100% were obtained. Best operating conditions found were obtained at a space time of 27.5 for a methanol/air ratio of 0.06 and a temperature of 698 K. The rate equation for the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde was derived on the basis of a two-stage redox mechanism$$\eqalign{\rm CH\sb3OH\sb{(g)} + S\sb{ox}\ {\buildrel{k\sb1}\over{\to}}\ &\rm HCHO\sb{(g)} + H\sb2O\sb{(g)} + S\sb{red}\cr\rm O\sb{2\sb{(g)}} + &\rm S\sb{red}\ {\buildrel{k\sb2}\over{\to}}\ S\sb{ox}\cr}$$where S$\rm\sb{ox}$ represents an active site of lattice oxygen and S$\rm\sb{red}$ represents a reduced site of lattice oxygen. The rate equation for the temperature of 648 to 698 K which correlated the data was$$\rm r = {k\sb1P\sb{M}\over 1+{k\sb1P\sb{M}\over 2k\sb2P\sb{O\sb2}}}$$where k$\sb1$ and k$\sb2$ are the temperature dependent rate constants of steps one and two. The equations relating k$\sb1$ and k$\sb2$ with temperature were$$\eqalign{&\rm ln\ k\sb1 = -6.4039-{6.9153\times10\sp3\over T}\cr&\rm ln\ k\sb2 = -3.0154 + {1.8809\times10\sp3\over T}\cr}$$ Several spectroscopic and analytical techniques, viz, electron spin resonance (ESR), x-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and adsorption studies were used to characterize the catalysts. The surface are of the catalyst used in the kinetic study was 6.1 m$\sp2$/g as determined by the BET method. A preliminary study of the Sb-Mo oxide mixture (load of $\sim$5 wt%) supported on Y zeolite was also carried out. Maximum yield obtained was comparable to that obtained with pure MoO$\sb3.$ A new catalyst has been developed that gave nearly 100% conversion and 100% yield. The industrial potential of this catalyst is very promising.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Support effects on catalytic reactions, especially of highly exothermic oxidation reactions, can be very significant. Since we had shown that a MoO3/SiO2 catalyst, especially when used in a double bed configuration with a Sr/La2O3 catalyst, can selectively oxidize methane to formaldehyde, the role of the SiO2 support was investigated. Therefore, partial oxidation of methane by oxygen to form formaldehyde, carbon oxides, and C2 products (ethane and ethene) has been studied over silica catalyst supports (fumed Cabosil and Grace 636 silica gel) in the 630-780°C temperature range under ambient pressure. When relatively high gas hourly space velocities (GHSV) were utilized, the silica catalysts exhibit high space time yields (at low conversions) for methane partial oxidation to formaldehyde, and the C2 hydrocarbons were found to be parallel products with formaldehyde. In general, the selectivities toward CO were high while those toward CO2 were low. Based on the present results obtained by a double catalyst bed experiment, the observations of product composition dependence on the variation of GHSV (i.e. gas residence time), and differences in apparent activation energies of formation of C2H6, and CH2O, a reaction mechanism is proposed for the activation of methane over the silica surface. This mechanism can explain the observed product distribution patterns (specifically the parallel formation of formaldehyde and C2 hydrocarbons).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reasonable case could be made that the scientific interest in catalytic oxidation was the basis for the recognition of the phenomenon of catalysis. Davy, in his attempt in 1817 to understand the science associated with the safety lamp he had invented a few years earlier, undertook a series of studies that led him to make the observation that a jet of gas, primarily methane, would cause a platinum wire to continue to glow even though the flame was extinguished and there was no visible flame. Dobereiner reported in 1823 the results of a similar investigation and observed that spongy platina would cause the ignition of a stream of hydrogen in air. Based on this observation Dobereiner invented the first lighter. His lighter employed hydrogen (generated from zinc and sulfuric acid) which passed over finely divided platinum and which ignited the gas. Thousands of these lighters were used over a number of years. Dobereiner refused to file a patent for his lighter, commenting that "I love science more than money." Davy thought the action of platinum was the result of heat while Dobereiner believed the ~ffect ~as a manifestation of electricity. Faraday became interested in the subject and published a paper on it in 1834; he concluded that the cause for this reaction was similar to other reactions.

Book excerpt: On January 1988, the ascertained and economically accessible reserves of Natural Gas (NG) amounted to over 144,000 billion cubic meters worldwide, corresponding to 124 billion tons of oil equivalents (comparable with the liquid oil reserves, which are estimated to be 138 billion TOE). It is hypothesized that the volume of NG reserve will continue to grow at the same rate of the last decade. Forecasts on production indicate a potential increase from about 2,000 billion cubic meters in 1990 to not more than 3,300 billion cubic meters in 2010, even in a high economic development scenario. NG consumption represents only one half of oil: 1.9 billion TOE/y as compared to 3.5 of oil. Consequently, in the future gas will exceed oil as a carbon atom source. In the future the potential for getting energetic vectors or petrochemicals from NG will continue to grow.The topics covered in Natural Gas Conversion V reflect the large global R&D effort to look for new and economic ways of NG exploitation. These range from the direct conversion of methane and light paraffins to the indirect conversion through synthesis gas to fuels and chemicals. Particularly underlined and visible are the technologies already commercially viable.These proceedings prove that mature and technologically feasible processes for natural gas conversion are already available and that new and improved catalytic approaches are currently developing, the validity and feasibility of which will soon be documented. This is an exciting area of modern catalysis, which will certainly open novel and rewarding perspectives for the chemical, energy and petrochemical industries.
