Aromatization of Methane over Supported and Unsupported Mo-Based Catalysts

Mo L3-XANES Study of Silylation Effect for Methane Dehydroaromatization over Mo/H-MFI Catalysts

A Mo-modified H-MFI zeolite (Mo/H-MFI) catalyst is one of a typical catalyst for direct GTL (Gas to liquid), because it shows high activity for dehydroaromatization of methane in absence of oxygen. In this reaction, reduction of Mo species is brought about in contact with methane in initial step, and reduced Mo ions react methane to form carbide and/or oxycarbide species in next step. It has be...

Activation of dihydrogen on supported and unsupported silver catalysts

The activation of dihydrogen on silica, silver, and silica-supported silver (9 wt% Ag) was investigated. Both, silica and silver are individually able to dissociate dihydrogen. Silanol groups on silica undergo H→D exchange at 393 K in D2 as detected by IR spectroscopy. HD is observed in temporal analysis of products (TAP) experiments when H2 and D2 are sequentially pulsed on silver at 673 K; ev...

Carbon Nanotubes Synthesis by Chemical Vapor Deposition of Methane over Zn – Fe Mixed Catalysts Supported on Alumina

Carbon nanotubes were synthesized over a series of Zn-containing Fe/alumina catalysts by chemical vapor deposition method at two reaction temperatures of 850 and 950 °C using methane as a carbon source. Catalysts were synthesized by keeping Fe concentration constant and varying Zn concentration to study the effects of Zn. The catalysts were characterized using X – ray powder diffraction and N2 ...

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 ...
