Abstract
Sulfated zirconia promoted with 1.0 wt% Fe and 0.5 wt% Mn converts met hane into ethane with traces of ethylene and acetylene. The initial re action rate at 723 K and a methane partial pressure of 20 kPa was foun d to be about 10(-9) mor(CH4)(gs)(-1), and deactivation was rapid, wit h the reaction rate declining to half the maximum rate within an hour.
