Oxidative Coupling of Methane over Na-W-Mn/Si0_2 Catalysts at Elevated Pressures

Na-Mn-W/SiO2 catalysts were studied for the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) in a micro fixed bed reactor made of stainless steel reactor at elevated pressures. The effect of operating conditions, such as GHSV, pressure, temperature and CH4/O2 ratio on the catalytic performance of OCM was investigated. The C2+ selectivity of 80.3% was obtained at a CH4 conversion of 16.1% at 750℃, 1.5×105h-1 GHSV, and 0.6 MPa. Also, there is a small output of C3 and C4 hydrocarbons in the tail gas. The results show that unfavorable effects due to elevated pressure can be overcome by increasing GHSV, and the OCM reaction is strongly dependent on the operating conditions at elevated pressures, particularly GHSV and the CH4/O2 ratio.

Reaction Chemistry of W—Mn／SiO2 Catalyst for the Oxidative Coupling of Methane

Reaction chemistry of the OCM reaction on W-Mn/SiO2 catalyst has been reviewed in this account.Initial activity and selectivity,stability in a long-term reaction,reaction at elevated pressures and a modelling test in a stainless-steel fluidized-bed reactor show that W-Mn/SiO2 has promising performance for the development of an OCM process that directly produces ethylene from natural gas.A study on surface catalytic reaction kinetics and used cataly st structure characterization revealed a possible reason why C2 and COx selectivity changed during the long-term reaction.Further improvement of the catalyst composition and preparation metbod should be a future direction of study on OCM reaction over W-Mn/SiO2 catalyst.     

Catalytic Oxidation of Methane to C2‐C4 Hydrocarbons over CeO2 Promoted W‐Mn/SiO2 Catalysts at Higher Pressure

CeO₂‐promoted Na‐Mn‐W/SiO₂ catalyst has been studied for catalytic oxidation of methane in a micro‐stainless‐steel reactor at elevated pressure. The effect of operating conditions, such as GHSV, pressure and CH₄/O₂ ratio, has been investigated. 22.0% CH₄ conversion with 73.8% C₂‐C₄ selectivity (C₂/C₃/C₄ = 3.8/1.0/3.6) was obtained at 1003 K, 1.5 × 10⁵ h^?;1 GHSV and 1.0 MPa. The results show: Elevated pressure disadvantages the catalytic oxidation of methane to C₂‐C₄ hydrocarbons. Large amounts of C₃ and C₄ hydrocarbons are observed. The unfavorable effects of elevated pressure can be overcome by increasing GHSV; the reaction is strongly dependent on the operating conditions at elevated pressure, particularly dependent on GHSV and ratio of CH₄/O₂. Analyses by means of XRD, XPS and CO₂‐TPD show that CO₂ produced from the reaction makes a weakly poisoning capacity of the catalyst; information of changeful valence on Ce and Mn was detected over the near‐surface of the Ce‐Na‐W‐Mn/SiO₂ catalyst; the existence of Ce³⁺/Ce⁴⁺ and Mn²⁺/Mn³⁺ ion couple supported that the reaction over the catalyst followed the Redeal‐Redox mechanism. Oxidative re‐coupling of C₂H₆ and CH₄ in gas phase or over surface of catalyst produces C₃ or C₄ hydrocarbons.     

Effects of operating parameters on oxidative coupling of methane over Na-W-Mn/SiO2 catalyst at elevated pressures

The effects of operating parameters on oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) over Na-W-Mn/SiO2 catalyst have been studied at elevated pressures of 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 MPa under low gaseous hourly space velocity (GHSV) and low temperature conditions. Experimental results show that when the operating pressure is increased, C2+ yield slightly decreases, while the maximum ratio of ethylene to ethane remains unchanged. Moreover, it has been found empirically that increase of pressure does not affect the catalyst behavior permanently, the catalyst recovers its original low pressure performance without hysteresis behavior by reducing the pressure. Under the investigated conditions, when oxygen is completely consumed, the increase of GHSV leads to improvement in C2 selectivity, while C3+ and COx selectivities decrease slightly. The C2+ selectivity increases by increase of nitrogen diluent in the feed, but the C3+ hydrocarbons selectivities decrease with increase of nitrogen since it is possible that further dilution at high pressure may reduce the probability of collision between CH3 and C2+ hydrocarbons. During the stability test at high pressure, the catalyst performance remains unchanged throughout the 20 h running. The fresh and used catalysts were characterized using XRD, SEM and N2 adsorption-desorption methods. It was found that the phase transformation of the support from α-cristobalite to tridymite and quartz does not have obvious effect on catalyst performance at high pressure.

The process is enabled by phase transitions and melting at the high reaction temperatures that are typically applied.

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 ℃.

甲烷氧化偶联Na-W-Mn/SiO2催化剂的喇曼光谱

By calcinating commercial silica gel at 1500℃or adding Na2C2O4 and then calcinating at 850℃,α-cristobalite was formed. On the basis of the vibration spectroscopy of silica support, Na-W-Mn/SiO2 catalyst was characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The results show that the structure of support and the interaction among metal components have significant effect on the dispersion and the structure of metal sites, and the tetrahedrally coordinated [WO4] formed on α-cristobalite surface is the most possible site of methane activation with high C2 selectivity.     

SrTi1-xMgxO3-δ钙钛矿型氧化物催化剂甲烷氧化偶联反应性能的研究

The structure and catalytic properties of SrTi_1-xMg_xO_3-δ perovskite-type catalysts for oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) have been studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Temperature-programmed desorption (O₂-TPD) methods. It has been shown that doping Mg²⁺ cations to the B site of SrTi_1-xMg_xO_3-δ perovskite-type catalysts results in the formation of oxygen vacancies in the lattices of oxide cata-lysts. With increasing the amount of Mg²⁺ doped in the B site of SrTi_1-xMg_xO_3-δ, methane conversion and C₂ selectivity first increase and then decrease remarkably. The SrTi_1-xMg_xO_3-δ catalyst with x=0.1 has the highest methane conversion and C₂ yield. It is suggested that the oxygen vacancies produced by Mg²⁺ cations doping are the sites responsible for oxygen activation, and the adsorbed oxygen species on the surface of SrTi_1-xMg_xO_3-δ catalysts are the main active species for OCM reaction. However, the over high content of the adsorbed oxygen species on the surface results in the complete oxidation of methane. Introducing water steam into feedstock can improve the catalytic properties of SrTi_1-xMg_xO_3-δ perovskite-type catalysts for OCM reaction at lower temperature. The SrTi_0.9Mg_0.1O_3-δ catalyst has the methane conversion of 28.0 % with C₂ hydrocarbons selectivity of 36.8 % under reaction temperature of 550 ℃.

It has been shown that doping the cations of lower valence (e.g. Mg²⁺， Al³⁺) to the B site of SrTi_0.9M_0.1O_3-δ perovskite-type catalysts results in the higher content of adsorbed oxygen species on the surface of catalysts and thus higher C₂-selectivity for OCM reaction. It is suggested that the oxygen vacancies of SrTi_0.9M_0.1O_3-δ (M=Mg， Al， Zr) perovskite-type catalysts are the sites responsible for oxygen activation， and the adsorbed oxygen species on the surface of SrTi_0.9M_0.1O_3-δ catalysts are the main active species for OCM reaction.
