The oxidative coupling of methane over La203/CaO type-catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor is studied under a wide range of operating conditions (973〈T〈 1103 K, 55〈 Ptotal 〈220 kPa, and 3.7〈 mcat/VTp 〈50 kg.s/m^3)....The oxidative coupling of methane over La203/CaO type-catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor is studied under a wide range of operating conditions (973〈T〈 1103 K, 55〈 Ptotal 〈220 kPa, and 3.7〈 mcat/VTp 〈50 kg.s/m^3). A ten-step kinetic model incorporating all main products was used to predict the behavior of the system. Methane conversions and C2 selectivities were calculated by varying methane to oxygen ratios in the feed under different operating conditions which were also compared with the rule of 100. The results show that deviation from this rule depends on the operating conditions. Within the range studied, an increase in pressure, temperature and contact time results in smaller deviation from the rule. This rule is best approximated when the catalyst operates near its optimal performance. For negative deviations, common to the most catalysts, it is found that the optimal performance should occur at methane conversion levels lower than 50%. A plot of selectivity versus conversion for high-yield reported performance data of a large variety of catalysts shows that data points concentrated roughly in 20%-50% methane conversion region, confirming the generality and prediction of modeling.展开更多

The logarithmic strains are 0, 0.37, 0.58, and 0.98 for WL10 and 0, 0.58 for PW. Heat treatments were performed at temperatures var- ied from 1,573 to 2,173 K to determine the recrystalliza- tion temperature. Recrystallization temperatures are 1,973 and 2,173 K for WL1 (logarithmic strain of 0.37) and WL3 (logarithmic strain of 0.98), respectively. But in the case of WL2 (logarithmic strain of 0.58), full recrystallization is not achieved at temperature of above 2,173 K. Further- more, the recrystallization temperature of PW with loga- rithmic strain of 0.58 is at least 300 K lower than that of the equivalent WLI0 sample. Moreover, the increase of recrystallization temperature inhibits the strength degra- dation of WL2: samples lose 4 % and 22 % strength when annealed at 1,573 and 1,973 K compared with room tem- perature (RT) sample. Finally, the texture evolution for the swaged + rolled WL10 is significantly related to the deformation degree: the dominated orientation is (001) for WL2 while (110) for WL3.展开更多
