Development of selective catalysts for the oxidative coupling of methane to higher hydrocarbons

This project deals with the improvement and further development of catalysts for the oxidative coupling of methane to higher hydrocarbons, particularly ethylene, C₃- and C₄-hydrocarbons. Supported PbO catalyst previously described in the literature were improved by using basic support materials and by adding suitable promoters, leading to high selectivities paralleled by a high activity, both being not significantly affected by operation time. A remarkable improvement concerning selectivity, activity and deactivation behaviour was further achieved by introducing basic catalysts containing alkali and alkaline earth compounds.
