With the large reserves of natural gas around the world,such as shale gas,methane hydrate,and biogas,research on how to utilize these alternative fuels has grown considerably.Current industrialscale processes for the conversion of natural gases to useful chemical feedstocks,which involves the conversion to syngas intermediates,are complex,inefficient and costly,and they generate large quantities of CO2 and coke byproducts.The efficient conversion of these natural gas fuels will require a process wherein the C-H bond of methane is activated,and the methane is selectively converted to useful chemical products while minimizing depth dehydrogenation and overoxidation.Many methods have been developed for the activation and conversion of methane with varying degrees of success,but thus far,none has been viable as
With the large reserves of natural gas around the world, such as shale gas, methane hydrate, and biogas, research on how to utilize these alternative fuels has been grown considerably. Current industrial scale processes for the conversion of natural gases to useful chemical feedstocks, which involves the conversion to syngas intermediates, are complex, inefficient and costly, and they generate large quantities of CO2 and coke by products. The efficient conversion of these natural gas fuels will require a process where the CH bond of methane is activated, and the methane is selectively converted to useful chemical products while minimizing depth dehydrogenation and overoxidation. Many methods have been developed for the activation and conversion of methane with varying degrees of success, but therefore far, none has been viable as
