Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Multidisciplinary Physical Sciences Science & Technology
Non-oxidative coupling of methane with high selectivity into ethane (>99% among hydrocarbon) in a classical fixed-bed reactor catalysed by SiO2-Al2O3 or gamma-Al2O3 supported tungsten hydride is presented. Continuous hydrogen separation, using a Pd-Ag membrane in a fixed-bed reactor, led to methane coupling far beyond the thermodynamic equilibrium conversion.
