Abstract
An experimental study has been carried out on the fluidization of a Li /MgO catalyst under conditions typically used in the methane oxidative coupling process. The minimum fluidization velocity has been estimate d in the 700-900 degrees C temperature range and compared with the mea sured values. The effect of particle cohesion upon the minimum fluidiz ation velocity has been studied, and the agglomeration has been relate d to the presence of a partially melted pool of carbonates on the cata lyst surface.
