A potential catalyst for continuous methane partial oxidation to methanol using N2O: Cu-SSZ-39†
Abstract
Continuous catalytic methanol production from methane is reported on Cu-SSZ-39 using N2O as an oxidant. Through optimization of CH4, N2O and H2O partial pressures, a methanol formation rate of 499 μmolCH3OH g−1 h−1 and a methanol selectivity of 34% is achieved.
