Modeling of Oxidative Coupling of Methane over Na2WO4/Mn/SiO2 Catalyst

Methane is the predominant component of natural gas, from which many kinds of chemicals can be produced. Over the past two decades, extensive efforts have been made in indirect and direct conversion of methane into valuable products. One of the attractive applications of methane is the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) to C2 hydrocarbons, especially ethylene.
