Abstract: | Bromine mediation has been regarded as one of the most efficient ways to activate and convert methane to useful organics. This article reports the effects of active components (Rh, Ru, Pd and Pt) and supports (SiO2, MgO and Al2O3) on the catalysis of methane oxybromination. Among the prepared catalysts, Rh/SiO2 is the best in performance (CH4 conversion of ca. 20% and CH3Br selectivity exceeding 70%). The results reveal that support type has a notable influence on the catalytic performance of Rh, especially on product distribution. The high selectivity to CH3Br over Rh/SiO2 is attributed to its low propensity for CH3Br oxidation. It was found that Rh small in particle size shows high catalytic activity and CH3Br selectivity. Although silicalite-1 zeolite suffers from a certain degree of structural damage due to the presence of high temperature steam, the use of silicalite-1 as support results in a performance comparable to that of Rh/SiO2. |
