Abstract
The oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) over various alkali metal oxide promoted La2O3/BaCO3 catalysts and the effects of Na2O content on the performance of Na2O-La2O3/BaCO3 catalysts have been studied. It was found that Na2O promoted La2O3/BaCO3 catalysts had the advantages of high CH4 conversion, C2 selectivity and C2H4/C2H6 ratio. Na2O might affect the properties of the catalysts through electronic and geometric effects. The highest C2 yield (19.0-20.6%) was obtained with Na2O-9 wt% La2O3/BaCO3 catalysts of 1.0-3.0% Na2O. The effects of reaction conditions on OCM over 3 wt% Na2O-9 wt% La2O3/BaCO3 catalysts have also been investigated. The catalysts were characterized by BET, TPD and XRD. TPD studies on 3 wt% Na2O-9 wt% La2O3/BaCO3 catalysts demonstrated that CO2, CH4 and O2 could be adsorbed strongly on the catalyst. This might be related to the activation of CH4 and the formation and regeneration of active oxygen species.
