Abstract

The influence of the ratio of the reactants on the characteristics of the cooxidation of ethylene and methane in a two-section flow reactor is examined. It is shown that the radical oxidation of ethylene implicates methane into the oxidation process. The interaction of the thereby formed methyl radicals with ethylene leads to a significant increase in the yield of propylene, an effect that enables to consider the co-oxidation of ethylene and methane as a promising method for producing propylene. A methane-rich flame stabilized on the surface of a flat permeable matrix is proposed as a more efficient source of methyl radicals for converting ethylene into propylene.
