Abstract:
A low temperature, isothermal, gas-phase, recyclable process is described for the partial oxidation of methane to methanol over Cu-ZSM-5. Activation in NO at 150 °C followed by methane reaction and steam extraction (both at 150 °C) allowed direct observation of methanol at the reactor outlet.
