Abstract

PdxCuy/C catalysts combinations were employed to CH4 partial oxidation in mild condition using a solid electrolyte reactor—alkaline fuel cell type. The differential mass spectroscopy on line method was used to monitor the oxidation products obtained as methanol, dimethyl ether, methyl formate and potassium formate. It was observed that as the electrical potential of the reactor increases, the generation of products decreases. The best results for conversion of methane into methanol and energy co-generation was obtained from Pd90Cu10/C and Pd50Cu50/C due to better H2O activation effects and adsorption site for CH4 oxidation.
