Abstract

Li/MgO catalysts used for the oxidative coupling of methane are found to deactivate relatively rapidly in use; this deactivation can be reversed by treating the the catalyst with CO2 under the reaction conditions and the deactivation can be avoided completely if CO2 is added in low concentrations to the reaction mixture.
