Heterogeneous metal oxide catalysts are widely studied for the aerobic oxidations of C1–C4
alkanes to form olefins and oxygenates. In this review, we outline the properties of supported …

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art in catalytic processes to convert methane (a major
component of natural gas) to more valuable hydrocarbons as fuels or chemicals. The scope …

As a promising approach for carbon dioxide capture, chemical looping combustion has been
extensively investigated for more than two decades. However, the chemical looping strategy …

Steam cracking is a well-established commercial technology for ethylene production.
Despite decades of optimization efforts, the process is, nevertheless, highly energy and …

The advantage of a membrane/catalyst system in the oxidative coupling of methane
compared with conventional reactive systems is that by introducing oxygen into the catalytic …

Despite its inherent constraints which hindered significant improvement in the process
catalytically, the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) remains an indispensable …

The literature for the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) on supported Mn/Na2WO4/SiO2
catalysts is systematically and critically reviewed. The influence of the precursors, starting …

Natural gas, the cleanest fossil fuel, is an abundant source of methane and expected to play
an increasingly important role in powering the world's economic growth over the energy …

Shale gas is the main source and reservoir of natural gas, and contains a small fraction of
ethane and propane. Along with the increasing exploitation scale, shale gas has the …

The catalytic oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) to C2 hydrocarbons with oxygen (O2‐
OCM) has garnered renewed worldwide interest in the past decade due to the emergence of …
