Abstract: The successful production of higher hydrocarbons from methane depends on the stability or the oxidation rate of the intermediate products. The performances of the BZSM-5 and the modified BZSM-5 catalysts were tested for ethylene conversion into higher hydrocarbons. The … Continue reading →

Abstract: A dual-bed catalytic system is proposed for the direct conversion of methane to liquid hydrocarbons. In this system, methane is converted in the first stage to oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) products by selective catalytic oxidation with oxygen over … Continue reading →

Abstract: The present investigation focuses on the synergistic effect of catalyst basicity and reducibility on the catalytic activity of binary and ternary CeO2-based catalysts in the CO2 oxidative coupling of methane (CO2 OCM). Proper amount of medium and strong basic sites together … Continue reading →

Abstract: Carbon dioxide rather than oxygen seemed to be an alternative oxidant for the catalytic reaction of methane to produce C2hydrocarbons via oxidative coupling of methane (CO2 OCM). The proper amount of medium and strong basic sites and the reducibility of … Continue reading →

Abstract: Methane conversion to higher hydrocarbons in the presence of oxygen was studied over W/HZSM-5-based catalysts. W–H2SO4/HZSM-5 catalyst containing octahedral coordinated tungsten species showed the highest activity. Over 2% W–H2SO4/HZSM-5 catalyst, the methane conversion reached ≈20% with the average aromatic … Continue reading →

Abstract: The optimization of process parameters and catalyst compositions for the CO2oxidative coupling of methane (CO2-OCM) reaction over CaO–MnO/CeO2 catalyst was developed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The relationship between the responses, i.e. CH4 conversion, C2 hydrocarbons selectivity or yield, with four independent … Continue reading →

Abstract: The topics on conversion and utilization of methane and carbon dioxide are important issues in tackling the global warming effects from the two greenhouse gases. Several technologies including catalytic and plasma have been proposed to improve the process involving … Continue reading →

Abstract: The aim of dynamic modeling of the tapioca starch hydrolysis process is to generate models for forecasting the future product concentration (glucose) from the initial conditions of available process measurements. This paper compares two methods of modeling the tapioca … Continue reading →

Abstract: The effects of operating temperature, inlet oxygen concentration, and F/W on ethylene production by oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) were studied over Li/MgO (Li/Mg = 0.1) catalyst. Central composite experimental design (CCD) and response surface methodology (RSM) were utilized … Continue reading →

Abstract: Metal containing ZSM-5 can produce higher hydrocarbons in methane oxidation. Many researchers have studied the applicability of HZSM-5 and modify ZSM-5 for methane conversion to liquid hydrocarbons, but their research results still lead to low conversion, low selectivity and … Continue reading →
