Abstract:
A self-made experimental system was used to study the catalytic oxidation of low-concentration coal mine gases to methanol in acetic acid solution.With Pd(OAc)
2 as catalyst, addition of
p-benzoquinone or chloranil in the reaction system provides a beneficial environment for activation of methane, and chloranil shows a more positive effect.Chloranil amount and reaction temperature and pressure are the key factors influencing the catalytic properties.The target product yield has a positive relationship with these three factors.CH
3OH is formed from the reaction of generated H
2O
2 and CH
4.CH
3COOCH
3 is generated via two routes;one is direct oxidation of Pd
2+ and CH
4, the other is esterification of CH
3OH and CH
3COOH.
