Direct reaction of CO2 with C-H bond activation of methane to produce chemicals

Rob Brown (University of Huddersfield, Huddersfield, UK)
Abstract
Activation of C-H bond methane and its direct reaction with CO2 to produce chemicals will result in elimination of several severe reaction steps while improving reaction efficiency. The study investigated the methane coupling on heterogeneous catalysts and possible reaction with CO2 as whole molecule to produce carbolic acid. The catalysts of binary and ternary oxides based on TiO2 were synthesized and calcined at 700 °C. The methane coupling reaction was carried out at atmospheric pressure using fixed bed reactor at varied temperatures between 300 to 700 °C. The results showed that the formation of ethane and ethylene in the products were due to methyl radicals dimerization. By introducing CO2 molecule, the most of methyl radicals were consumed by direct reaction with CO2 and producing acetic acid molecule instead of methyl dimerization. The solid oxide catalysts showed different optimum temperature and catalytic activity for methyl coupling formation and reactivity towards CO2 molecule. The gas ratios of methane and CO2 were studied and results indicated that an increase of acetic acid yield by direct reaction route between methyl radicals of methane with CO2.

Introduction
More than 90 scientists, engineers, catalyst experts and researchers from Japan, Saudi Arabia, Spain, and the Czech Republic, participated in the two-day symposium on catalysts used in petroleum refining and petrochemicals held on December 1–2, 2014 at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM), Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The annual symposium was jointly organized by KFUPM, the Japan Petroleum Institute (JPI) and Japan Cooperation Center, Petroleum (JCCP) to discuss latest advances in catalysts for refining and chemical processing. At this year’s symposium, there are 18 presentations in six sessions featuring papers hydroprocessing, gasoline/diesel upgrade, fluid catalytic cracking (FCC), catalyst design, hydrogen production and CO2 conversion to chemicals. The following is a brief report on the topics covered by the symposium.
