The importance of heterogeneous and homogeneous reactions in oxidative coupling of methane over chloride promoted oxide catalysts

The formation of ethene from ethane and methane in a silica reactor has been studied both in the presence and in the absence of chloride-containing catalysts. Some homogeneous conversion of ethane to ethene occurs in the gas phase through direct dehydrogenation, oxidative dehydrogenation, and, when...
