Author:Parmaliana, A; Frusteri, F; Mezzapica, A; Miceli, D; Scurrell, MS; Giordano, NDate:Sep 1993The partial oxidation of methane to formaldehyde by molecular oxygen on silica and silica-supported oxide catalysts has been investigated at a pressure of 1.7 bars in the temperature range 520-650°C by using a batch reactor with external ...Read more
Author:Parmaliana, A; Frusteri, F; Mezzapica, A; Scurrell, MS; Giordano, NDate:07 May 1993Vanadium oxide-silica catalysts can effect the partial oxidation of methane to formaldehyde with extremely high activities and the space time yield (STY) can reach a value in excess of 800 g kg-1cat h-1; bare silica also shows appreciable STY ...Read more
