Methane is representative gas that accounts for more than 95% of natural gas components and causes climate change. Therefore, the technology for converting methane into high value-added chemicals has a large impact on the environment as well as on the industry. Traditionally, methane has been converted to syngas produced through a hot wet or dry reforming process to produce various alcohols, aldehydes, olefins, and aromatics. Despite the development of various catalysts and process optimization, the reaction to produce syngas still requires very high temperatures. Thus much efforts have been devoted to producing chemical products directly at relatively low temperatures by partial oxidation of methane. These efforts led to the development of new oxidizing agents or catalysts with low activation energy. In this presentation, we introduce recent atypical low temperature methane oxidation. |
