Abstract
Previously, it was reported that the direct partial oxidation (DPO) of CH4 with O2 over HZSM-5 catalysts produces C5+ hydrocarbon liquids when the feed contains a propane or propene additive. This work studies additive effects on C5+ production in this system by processing a CH4/C3H8 feed with subsequent removal of the C3 additive and by processing natural gas feed. Results show C5+ production is maintained at constant yields for HZSM-5 catalysts having different zeolitic Al contents after removal of the C3 additive. Mechanistic implications are discussed. Natural gas DPO consistently produced C5+ liquids due to the presence of C2+ components in the feed. While C5+ yields from natural gas DPO are higher than those observed for CH4/C3 feeds, increasing feed O2 concentration, and thus conversion, deleteriously affected C5+ selectivity.
