Gas-phase coupling of methyl radicals during the partial oxidation of methane over transition metal oxide catalysts
Abstract
At a CH4/O2 ratio of ca. 3 the LiNiO2 and NaMnO4/MgO catalysts generate gas phase methyl radicals as effectively as a Li+/MgO catalyst, which indicates that the mechanism for ethane formation over all three catalysts is the same and involves the coupling of these gas phase radicals.
