Oxidative coupling of methane on manganese-containing catalysts in the periodic mode
The promoting action of sodium silicate on manganese oxide in oxidative coupling of methane was studied. The stabilizing effect of Na2SiO3 on manganese oxide in the oxidative coupling of methane was elucidated by comparing the catalytic properties of manganese oxide-based specimens promoted with Na2SiO3, Na3PO4, Na2WO4, and Na2SnO3 salts.
