Comparatively High Yield Methanol Production From Gas Phase Partial Oxidation of Methane
Comparatively High Yield Methanol Production From Gas Phase Partial Oxidation of Methane
Comparatively High Yield Methanol Production From Gas Phase Partial Oxidation of Methane
Abstract
Gas phase partial oxidation of methane to methanol has been carried out in a specially designed reactor. A comparatively
high yield of methanol (ca. 7–8%, methanol selectivity of 60% at methane conversion 13%) was obtained over a quite wide
temperature range of more than 40 ◦ C at 5.0 MPa and CH4 /O2 /N2 = 100/10/10 (ml/min). The effects of the total flow rate,
CH4 /O2 ratio and pressure were examined and the superiority of the new reactor is discussed. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
