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 …

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 …

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 …

Over the last several decades, extensive research has focused on the direct conversion of
methane to alcohols or higher hydrocarbons. Research in this field has intensified in recent …

Mn–Na2WO4/SiO2 is one of the very few catalysts for the oxidative coupling of methane,
whose stability over extended times on stream has been reported by different research …

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

A comprehensive overview is presented to summarize the research works since 1982 on
oxidative coupling of methane (OCM), a complex reaction network combining …

In this work a series of temperature programmed experiments were carried out on a Na 2
WO 4/Mn/SiO 2 catalyst. In TPR experiments we tested the reducibility of this catalyst and O …

Direct production of ethylene from natural gas or other methane sources has proven to be
challenging from catalytic, process design and economic perspectives, with no reports of a …

The mechanism of the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM), a reaction discovered in the
early 1980s, and the development of approaches to kinetic description of this reaction are …
