Abstract
The kinetics of the reduction of PbO supported on Al2O3 by methane is studi ed in the temperature range 760-927 degreesC. The reaction order with respe ct to methane is equal to unity and the apparent activation energy is simil ar to 40 kcal/mol. When the extent of PbO reduction is 0.5-0.6, the selecti vity of methane conversion changes drastically: only CO2 is formed at lower extents of reduction, whereas CO is the main product at higher extents.
