Abstract
The introduction of tetrachloromethane (TCM) into the feedstream of CO and O-2 inhibits the formation of CO2 on hydroxyapatite. TCM interact s with the surface of hydroxyapatite to form its chlorinated analogue, chlorapatite, which suppresses the oxidation of CO to CO2. Thus, in t he oxidative coupling of methane the beneficial effects of the additio n of TCM to the feedstream result, at least in past, from the suppress ion of the further oxidation of CO.
