Abstract

A study of the partial oxidation of methane to methanol and formaldehyde, over various silica supported catalysts, has been undertaken at elevated pressures (up to 1520 kPa) between 500°C and 600°C. C₂ products were observed with O₂ as oxidant; but not with N₂O. O₂ was much more reactive than N₂O in all conditions examined, but no catalytic effect could be observed with O₂. Formaldehyde was generally the major partial oxygenated product observed.
