甲烷直接制甲醇反应体系的研究进展

Research progresses in reaction systems of direct conversion of methane to methanol

传统上甲烷转化为甲醇首先需要将甲烷蒸汽重整成合成气,合成气再进一步转化为甲醇,而蒸汽重整是一个投资和能源密集的过程。因此改变传统的工艺思路,通过简单、温和的反应工艺实现甲烷向甲醇的直接转化,在工业生产中具有重要意义。本文对甲烷直接制甲醇的相关研究进行了总结,探讨了不同反应体系的优势以及可能存在的问题,并对甲烷直接转化为甲醇的前景进行了展望。

Traditionally, the conversion of methane to methanol requires firstly steam reforming of methane to syngas, which is then further converted to methanol. Steam reforming is an investment and energy intensive process. Therefore, it is of great significance to change the traditional process ideas and realize direct conversion of methane to methanol by simple and mild reaction process. In this paper, the research progress in direct conversion of methane to methanol was summarized. The advantages and possible problems of different reaction systems were discussed, and the prospect of direct conversion of methane to methanol was prospected.
