Abstract
It was shown that the carbides of transition metals are effective catalysts of oxidation reactions on account of their metal-like nature, combined with their high chemical and thermal stability. The results from systematic investigations into the catalytic characteristics of the carbides in the oxidation of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and ammonia and in the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) are examined. The first two reactions are total oxidation processes, and the oxidation of ammonia is a selective oxidation process. The oxidative coupling of methane is a heterogeneous-homogeneous process and represents a prospective method for the direct transformation of methane into higher hydrocarbons.
