High-power pulsed radio-frequency and microwave catalytic processes: Selective production of acetylene from the reaction of methane over carbon
- Queens Univ., Ontario (Canada)
Methane is converted to acetylene, ethylene, and ethane over carbon at atmospheric pressures using pulsed high-power radio-frequency or microwave radiation. By judicious use of experimental variables, selectivity of acetylene in hydrocarbon products can be >90%. The concentration of hydrogen has been shown to be important. To obtain a clearer understanding of the role of carbon in this system, experiments have been conducted using amorphous {sup 13}C. A mechanism is postulated to explain the contribution of carbon and hydrogen to the formation of higher hydrocarbons. 31 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab.
