Abstract
Lithium made a Mn-Mg-O solid solution stable upon exposure of methane, decr eased the ethane and ethylene formation rates, and increased the COx format ion rate during the oxidative coupling of methane. On the other hand, on Mg O, lithium inhibited COx formation markedly and enhanced the selectivity of ethane 47 % to 76 %.
