Cl. Chen et al., MICROWAVE EFFECTS ON THE OXIDATIVE COUPLING OF METHANE OVER BI2O3-WO3OXYGEN-ION CONDUCTIVE OXIDES, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 61(1), 1997, pp. 175-180
The oxidative coupling of methane over (Bi2O3)(1-x)(WO3)(x) (x=0.2, 0.
3, 0.4) oxygen ion conductive oxide catalysts irradiated by microwave
has been studied. Compared with a conventional heating mode, the tempe
rature of the catalytic bed is much lower with microwave irradiation a
nd there is a change in selectivity favoring the production of C-2 pro
ducts.
