Abstract

Oxidative coupling of methane was performed on a tubular dense membrane reactor made of catalytically active fluorite-structured Bi1.5Y0.3Sm0.2O3-δ. Methane and air were separately fed to the tube and shell side of the membrane. The tubular dense membrane reactor gives 35% one-pass C2 (C2H4+C2H6) yield for oxidative coupling of methane with a C2 selectivity of 54% at 900 °C.
