Excellent catalytic performances of SBA-15-supported vanadium oxide for partial oxidation of methane to formaldehyde

Lin BM, Wang XX, Guo Q, Yang W, Zhang QH, Wang Y

Vanadium oxide supported on SBA-15 exhibits superior catalytic performances for the partial oxidation of methane to formaldehyde. A space-time yield of formaldehyde as high as 93 mol kg,at.(-1)h(-1) has been obtained with a formaldehyde selectivity of 94% over 3 wt % VOx/SBA-15 catalyst, significantly higher than those reported so far.
