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 …

Non‐oxidative dehydroaromatization is arguably the most promising process for the direct
upgrading of cheap and abundant methane to liquid hydrocarbons. This reaction has not …

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 net rate of a reversible chemical reaction is the difference between unidirectional rates
of traversal along forward and reverse reaction paths. In a multistep reaction sequence, the …

The drastic rise in shale gas production has encouraged the quest for alternative uses of
methane as a chemical feedstock in the manufacturing industry. While two-step syngas …

Abstract Of several Mo/H-ZSM-5 catalysts (Mo loading= 1, 3, 5, 7 wt%), 5Mo/H-ZSM-5 (5
wt%) exhibited the best catalytic performance for methane conversion and benzene yield for …

Non‐oxidative dehydroaromatization of methane over Mo/ZSM‐5 zeolite catalysts is a
promising reaction for the direct conversion of abundant natural gas into liquid aromatics …

The promotional effect of Fe in the presence and absence of Zn was studied over Mo/HZSM-
5 catalysts for the methane dehydroaromatization reaction. The reaction was conducted at …

Methane dehydroaromatization (MDA) process is a “non-oxidative” technology for CH 4
utilization, esteemed as a propitious substitution for fossil fuel-based counterparts in the …
