S. Lacombe et al., KINETIC MODELING OF THE OXIDATIVE COUPLING OF METHANE OVER LANTHANUM OXIDE IN CONNECTION WITH MECHANISTIC STUDIES, Chemical engineering & technology, 18(3), 1995, pp. 216-223
A kinetic model of the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) over lantha
num oxide is developed on the basis of mechanistic conclusions obtaine
d elsewhere. A reaction scheme is proposed, and the kinetic parameters
corresponding to the different kinetic equations are optimized. Exper
imental and calculated reaction rates are compared with the aim of tes
ting the proposed scheme and validating the basic mechanistic assumpti
ons.
