Effects of NO and solids on the oxidation of methane to formaldehyde

  • Published:
Catalysis Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The selective oxidation of methane has been studied both in the presence and absence of solids (inert or catalysts) with and without NO added, at 1 bar of total pressure. NO enhances the yield to formaldehyde, while the solids favor its decomposition. These results, together with abundant literature data, show a maximum for formaldehyde yield of about 4.0%.
