The Basic Investigation on Catalytic Oxidation of Mine Gas to Methanol in Liquid Phase

A set of experimental system was self-designed and made for liquid phase catalytic oxidation of gas to methanol. It was used to investigate the impacts of catalyst and reaction conditions on catalytic oxidation of gas to methanol in acetic acid solution, and to analyze its reaction mechanism. It has been showed that the yield of the methanol is 1840 μmol under the catalysis of 0.5 g of 0.5% Pd-CuPc/Y and the following conditions: CH3COOH:H2O = 4:1 (v/v), 1000 μmol of p-benzoquinone; reaction time, 3 h; reaction temperature, 150°C; gas composition, 2.5MPa CH4+0.4MPaO2 +0.4MPa N2; in acetic acid solution, catalytic oxidation of mine gas to methanol follows mechanisms of electrophilic substitution and oxidation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
