Abstract
The kinetics of methanol oxidation was studied over manganese dioxide-molybdenum trioxide catalyst in an integral flow reactor between 250 and 460 °C, at space velocities of 9.6 × 10 3 to 8.4 × 10 4 hr −1. The highest conversion of methanol and yield of formaldehyde under these conditions were 84% with a selectivity of almost 100% at 365 °C. The rate equation assuming a steady state involving a two-stage irreversible oxidation-reduction process, represented the data satisfactorily.
