Abstract
Catalytic performance of Na 2CO 3-K 2CO 3 and Li 2CO 3-K2CO 3 immobilized on lithium aluminate towards the oxidative dimerization of methane was investigated at 750, 800 and 850°C. CH 4 conversion of 15-16%, C 2 yield of 9-10%, and C 2 selectivity if 58-62% was obtained at 800°C. Catalytic activity increased with temperature and melt decarbonation, which can be correlated with a stabilization of peroxide species. Comparison between these melts and with Li 2CO 3-Na 2CO 3 shows that a higher amount of C 2 hydrocarbons, formed per second and per gram of carbonate, was obtained in Li 2CO 3-K 2CO 3.
