Abstract
The presence of large reserves of natural gas, located mainly in remote regions, has prompted extensive research on the partial oxidation of methane. Research on catalytic oxidation has been directed mainly toward the development of processes which will produce either oxygenates (methanol and formaldehyde) or coupling products (ethane and ethylene). The latter approach has been somewhat more successful and will be the subject of this paper.
