CATALYSTS MADE WITH MANGANESE TUNGSTEN OXIDE FOR THE OXIDATIVE COUPLING OF METHANE

摘要

Disclosed is a supported catalyst and methods to prepare and use the supported catalyst in an oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) reaction. The supported catalyst can contain MnWO₄ or MnWO₄ nanostructures that are in contact with the surface of a sodium containing silicon dioxide support material. The supported MnWO₄ catalyst can have an active MnWO₄ crystal phase.
