Abstract

The progress in the field of methane conversion into higher hydrocarbons including aromatics and oxygenated compounds in the recent five years will be reviewed shortly, together with a new type of the methane conversion reaction with carbon monoxide at lower temperatures (600–700 K) by supported group VIII metal catalysts. Benzene was formed selectively among hydrocarbons in the CH4–CO reaction over silica-supported Rh, Ru, Pd and Os catalysts under atmospheric pressure. Both CH4 and CO were required for benzene formation, and only ethane and ethylene were formed besides benzene. The amount of C3–C5 hydrocarbons was negligible, which suggests that a completely different mechanism from the CO–H2 reaction may be operating over these catalysts despite of the similarity in the reaction conditions with the CO–H2 reaction. The mechanism of benzene formation was studied deeply by means of kinetical investigation as well as infrared spectroscopy and isotopic tracer method in connection with that of CO hydrogenation.
