Modeling the oxidative coupling of methane： Heterogeneous chemistry coupled with 3D flow field simulation

The oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) over titanate perovskite catalyst has been developed by three-dimensional numerical simulations of flow field coupled with heat transfer as well as heterogeneous kinetic model. The reaction was assumed to take place both in the gas phase and on the catalytic surface. Kinetic rate constants were experimentally obtained using a ten step kinetic model. The simulation results agree quite well with the data of OCM experiments, which were used to investigate the effect of temperature on the selectivity and conversion obtained in the methane oxidative coupling process. The conversion of methane linearly increased with temperature and the selectivity of C2 was practically constant in the temperature range of 973–1073 K. The study shows that CFD tools make it possible to implement the heterogeneous kinetic model even for high exothermic reaction such as OCM.

Sites for Methane Activation on Lithium‐Doped Magnesium Oxide Surfaces

Density functional calculations yield energy barriers for H abstraction by oxygen radical sites in Li‐doped MgO that are much smaller (12±6 kJ mol^?1) than the barriers inferred from different experimental studies (80–160 kJ mol^?1). This raises further doubts that the Li⁺O^.? site is the active site as postulated by Lunsford. From temperature‐programmed oxidative coupling reactions of methane (OCM), we conclude that the same sites are responsible for the activation of CH₄ on both Li‐doped MgO and pure MgO catalysts. For a MgO catalyst prepared by sol–gel synthesis, the activity proved to be very different in the initial phase of the OCM reaction and in the steady state. This was accompanied by substantial morphological changes and restructuring of the terminations as transmission electron microscopy revealed. Further calculations on cluster models showed that CH₄ binds heterolytically on Mg²⁺O^2? sites at steps and corners, and that the homolytic release of methyl radicals into the gas phase will happen only in the presence of O₂.     

On the mechanism of thermal oxidation of methane

Using the method of freezing radicals in conjunction with ESR spectroscopic measurements, the kinetics of the thermal oxidation of methane has been studied under atmospheric pressure depending on the temperature, composition of the mixture, and nature of the surface of the reaction vessel. It has been shown that in a reactor treated with boric acid, the intermediates methylhydroperoxide and hydrogen peroxide are responsible for chain branching. It has been established that the leading active centers of the reaction are the HO₂ radicals, while chain branching occurs as a result of the decomposition of peroxy compounds—methylhydroperoxide and hydrogen peroxide. In reactors treated with potassium bromide, the concentrations of radicals and peroxy compounds were found to be lower than the sensitivity of the method of measurement. Computations were performed for the scheme of methane oxidation at 738 K for a reactor treated with boric acid. Satisfactory agreement was found between the experimental and computed kinetic curves of accumulation of main intermediates CH₂O, H₂O₂, CH₃OOH. The influence of their addition on the kinetics of the reaction has been considered. It has been shown that the addition of formaldehyde does not lead to chain branching, however; it contributes to the formation of those peroxy compounds that bring about chain branching. Mathematical modeling confirmed conclusions made on the basis of experimental data concerning the nature of the leading active centers and the products that are responsible for the degenerate chain branching.     

Unravelling the Enigma of Nonoxidative Conversion of Methane on Iron Single-Atom Catalysts

The direct, nonoxidative conversion of methane on a silica-confined single-atom iron catalyst is a landmark discovery in catalysis, but the proposed gas-phase reaction mechanism is still open to discussion. Here, we report a surface reaction mechanism by computational modeling and simulations. The activation of methane occurs at the single iron site, whereas the dissociated methyl disfavors desorption into gas phase under the reactive conditions. In contrast, the dissociated methyl prefers transferring to adjacent carbon sites of the active center (Fe₁©SiC₂), followed by C−C coupling and hydrogen transfer to produce the main product (ethylene) via a key −CH−CH₂ intermediate. We find a quasi Mars–van Krevelen (quasi-MvK) surface reaction mechanism involving extracting and refilling the surface carbon atoms for the nonoxidative conversion of methane on Fe₁©SiO₂ and this surface process is identified to be more plausible than the alternative gas-phase reaction mechanism.     

Reaction of peroxide radicals with methane on the titanium oxide surface: Effects of the composition of the initial mixture

The reaction of TiO₂-adsorbed methyl peroxide radicals with methane, accompanied by transfer of the products into the gas phase at ∼20°C, was studied by the kinetic methods and EPR spectroscopy. In a definite range of methane concentrations, the reaction was accompanied by an increase in the total concentration of free radicals; i.e., these active species became not only regenerated, but also multiplied. The increase in the number of peroxide radicals was explained by the chain consumption of methane initiated by the reaction being studied.     

Oxidative Coupling of Methane over W‐Mn/SiO2 Catalyst

W‐Mn/SiO₂ catalyst has been developed in our laboratory (LICP), which is active, selective and stable for oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) in fixed bed and fluidized bed reactors. The research results have been reproduced at different reaction conditions by two groups of J. H. Lunsford (JH‐LL) from Texas A & M University and R. M. Lambert (RMLL) from University of Cambridge respectively. The basic research aspects on this catalyst systems, reaction performances, structure characterization and reaction mechanism were reviewed. A model on two active sites related to W^6+/5+ and Mn^3+/2+ has been suggested for activation of methane and oxygen respectively.     

Direct oxidation of methyl radicals in OCM process deduced from correlation of product selectivities

Selectivity of hydrogen in oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) was evaluated over the MxOy-BaCO3 (MxOy: La2O3, Sm2O3, MgO, CaO) catalysts. Correlation of product selectivities was thus discussed. From correlation of product selectivities, it is revealed that the carbon oxides (CO and CO2) were most probably formed from the direct oxidation of methyl radicals under the conditions adopted in the present work. This is also in accordance with the OCM mechanism proposed in literature.

Kinetics of the oxidative coupling of methane in the presence of model catalysts

The kinetics of the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) in the presence of La/MgO and NaWMn/SiO₂ catalysts in a flow reactor at low reactant conversions was studied. It was found that, in spite of different compositions and properties of the test catalysts, the formation of ethane from methane and ethylene from ethane can be described within the framework of the Mars-van Krevelen redox model in both cases. The rate laws of side reactions, which lead to the formation of carbon oxides, are different from the rate laws of the target reactions of the conversion of methane into ethane and ethane into ethylene. The kinetic parameters required for the numerical simulation of the OCM process were determined for either of the catalysts.

This survey analyzes the results of studies into Li(Na,K,Rb,Cs)/W/Mn/SiO₂ composites, which are used as catalysts for oxidative coupling of methane (OCM). The focus is on phase states. Our analysis shows that the SiO₂ matrix is an active constituent of the composites and not an inert carrier of additives and the OCM heterogeneous process involves alkali-metal tungstate melts, along with polycrystalline manganese oxides. The effects of the cation ratio and synthetic routes on the phase composition of Li(Na,K,Rb,Cs)/W/Mn/SiO₂ are assessed.     

The Catalytic Oxidative Coupling of Methane

One of the great challenges in the field of heterogeneous catalysis is the conversion of methane to more useful chemicals and fuels. A chemical of particular importance is ethene, which can be obtained by the oxidative coupling of methane. In this reaction CH₄ is first oxidatively converted into C₂H₆, and then into C₂H₄. The fundamental aspects of the problem involve both a heterogeneous component, which includes the activation of CH₄ on a metal oxide surface, and a homogeneous gas-phase component, which includes free-radical chemistry. Ethane is produced mainly by the coupling of the surface-generated CH radicals in the gas phase. The yield of C₂H₄ and C₂H₆ is limited by secondary reactions of CH radicals with the surface and by the further oxidation of C₂H₄, both on the catalyst surface and in the gas phase. Currently, the best catalysts provide 20% CH₄ conversion with 80% combined C₂H₄ and C₂H₆ selectivity in a single pass through the reactor. Less is known about the nature of the active centers than about the reaction mechanism; however, reactive oxygen ions are apparently required for the activation of CH₄ on certain catalysts. There is spectroscopic evidence for surface O^? or O ions. In addition to the oxidative coupling of CH₄, cross-coupling reactions, such as between methane and toluene to produce styrene, have been investigated. Many of the same catalysts are effective, and the cross-coupling reaction also appears to involve surface-generated radicals. Although a technological process has not been developed, extensive research has resulted in a reasonable understanding of the elementary reactions that occur during the oxidative coupling of methane.     

Modeling of the kinetics of the heterogeneous-homogeneous conversion of methane into ethane and ethylene in the absence of oxygen in the gas phase

Computer calculations were carried out on the kinetics of the gas phase chain process for the conversion of methyl radicals into higher hydrocarbons in an oxygen-free atmosphere based on a scheme of reactions consisting of 23 homogeneous elementary steps and the heterogeneous stage of methyl radical formation.

Pulse reactions of methane, ethane and ethylene over Li-, La- and Sm-promoted MgO catalysts in the presence and absence of free oxygen

Pulse reaction of methane in the presence and absence of free (or gaseous) oxygen and that of ethane and ethylene in the absence of free oxygen over Li−MgO, La−MgO and Sm−MgO (Li or La or Sm/Mg ratio=0.1) have been investigated for elucidating the role of lattice and free oxygen in oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) over these catalysts. No significant role is played by the lattice oxygen from these catalysts in the OCM process. The presence of free oxygen is essential for all these catalysts to be active and selective in OCM process. However, lattice oxygen plays some role in ethane conversion but a very significant role in ethylene conversion over these catalysts.     

Confined Carbon Mediating Dehydroaromatization of Methane over Mo/ZSM‐5

Non‐oxidative dehydroaromatization of methane (MDA) is a promising catalytic process for direct valorization of natural gas to liquid hydrocarbons. The application of this reaction in practical technology is hindered by a lack of understanding about the mechanism and nature of the active sites in benchmark zeolite‐based Mo/ZSM‐5 catalysts, which precludes the solution of problems such as rapid catalyst deactivation. By applying spectroscopy and microscopy, it is shown that the active centers in Mo/ZSM‐5 are partially reduced single‐atom Mo sites stabilized by the zeolite framework. By combining a pulse reaction technique with isotope labeling of methane, MDA is shown to be governed by a hydrocarbon pool mechanism in which benzene is derived from secondary reactions of confined polyaromatic carbon species with the initial products of methane activation.

固体酸WO3/TiO2负载锂锰催化剂组成对其甲烷氧化偶联反应性能的影响

The selective oxidation of methane to basic petrochemicals (ethylene and ethane) is desirable and has attracted extensive research attention. The oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) is considered a promising one-step route for the production of C₂ compounds (ethylene and ethane) from methane, and has been the focus of industrial and fundamental studies. It is widely accepted that the composition is a crucial factor governing the activity of a catalyst system. It was found that the phase structures, basicity, existing status and distribution of the active components, oxygen species, and chemical states of the catalyst were influenced by the composition and ratio, resulting in different catalytic performances for the OCM. In this study, a series of solid acid WO₃/TiO₂-supported lithium-manganese oxide catalysts for OCM were synthesized via the impregnation method. The impacts of diverse compositions, such as the individual contents (Li and Mn) and dual contents (Li-Mn), on the OCM were investigated in detail, using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, CO₂-temperature-programmed desorption, O₂-temperature-programmed desorption, H₂-temperature-programmed reduction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and CH₄-temperature-programmed surface reaction. The addition of Li content to the catalyst not only led to the anatase-to-rutile crystal structure transformation of TiO₂, and the reduction of the high-valence-state Mn species to low-valence-state Mn, but also increased the content of surface lattice oxygen and decreased the surface basicity. The observed effects on the structures and catalytic performance suggest that the Li content is helpful in suppressing the formation of completely oxidized CO₂, and increases the C₂ selectivity. Moreover, increasing the Li content of the catalyst facilitated the mobility of the lattice oxygen, which triggered the promotion of CH₄ activation, thereby enhancing the OCM catalytic performance. The Mn content acted as the active sites for OCM; therefore, the performance of the catalyst was closely related to the Mn concentration and valence state. However, the WO₃/TiO₂-supported catalyst with excessive Mn content exhibited a high surface basicity, high valence state of Mn, and low abundant lattice oxygen, which was unfavorable for C₂ selectivity. The Raman spectroscopy results revealed that MnTiO₃ was formed due to the co-existence of Li and Mn on WO₃/TiO₂, and played an essential role in improving the low-temperature OCM performance. There was a synergic effect of the Li and Mn components on the OCM. The optimal performance (16.3% C₂ yield) was achieved over the WO₃/TiO₂-supported lithium-manganese catalyst with n(Li) : n(Mn) = 2 : 1 at 750 ℃.
