Abstract

The isothermal, low-temperature stepwise conversion of methane to methanol over copper-exchanged zeolites eliminates the time-consuming heating and cooling steps of the conventional high temperature activation approach. To better understand differences between the two approaches, a series of zeolites were screened, of which omega zeolite (MAZ) showed superior performance in both the isothermal and conventional approaches.
