Assessment of the possibility of the methane to methanol transformation

The methane to methanol conversion via esterification is an interesting method which makes it possible to eliminate the otherwise necessary phase of obtaining synthesis gas. On the basis of laboratory investigations mass balances for this process were determined. Preliminary assessment of the way of conducting the process and possibilities of practical applications of this technology was also made. It was pointed out that regardless of any possible modifications of methane to methanol conversion via esterification redundant sulfuric acid will always be produced during ester hydrolysis. Production of methanol from methane using this method can only be done when it is combined with producing other substances, which needs using H2SO4

Bromine catalyst for the methane to methyl bisulfate reaction

A catalytic system KBr – oleum is effective at catalyzing the selective oxidation of methane to methanol via. methyl bisulfate. The infl uences of methane pressure, sulfur trioxide and temperature on turnover frequency were investigated

Preparation of carbon nanomaterials over Ni/ZSM-5 catalyst using simplex method algorithm

Carbon nanomaterials were prepared from methane by catalytic decomposition over a nickel-supported ZSM-5 catalyst. The mole ratio of SiO₂ to Al₂O₃ in ZSM-5 was 200-400. The nickel content was varied from 17 to 23 wt% Ni. In order to find the greatest yield and the highest quality of carbon nanomaterials the simplex design method for planning the experiments was applied. Different parameters such as: temperature, methane flow, nitrogen flow and nickel content in the catalyst were evaluated. The carbon nanomaterials were analyzed by the Raman spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and total organic carbon analyzer
