Light olefins are important feedstocks and platform molecules for the chemical industry.
Their synthesis has been a research priority in both academia and industry. There are many …

Catalytic upgrading of methane in natural gas and/or shale gas via oxidative methane
coupling (OMC) is an important option tailored by industry for meeting the global ethylene …

This review discusses the thermodynamic and kinetic limitations that currently make the
oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) industrially inviable. We analyze some promising …

Direct conversion of methane to C2 compounds by oxidative and nonoxidative coupling
reactions has been intensively studied in the past four decades; however, because these …

This paper addresses the techno-economic assessment of two technologies for olefins
production from naphtha and natural gas. The first technology is based on conventional …

Herein, we attempt to identify selective oxygen species for the oxidative coupling of methane
using lanthanum-based perovskite catalysts (LaXO 3, X= Al, Fe, or Ni), which are well …

Oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) is considered one of the most promising routes to
directly convert methane into more valuable hydrocarbons. The uncertain economics related …

Catalytic descriptors were studied to design optimum catalysts for the oxidative coupling of
methane (OCM) by combining density functional theory (DFT) calculations and actual …

Exothermic heat effects are a crucial factor in determining the performance and stability of
catalysts for the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM). Fixed bed temperature rise, steady …

Perovskite-supported alkaline-earth metal oxide catalysts were prepared for application in
the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM). The selective production of C 2+ compounds …
