| Summary: | Due to the large natural gas reserves worldwide, methane appears to be the cheapest and most available carbon source for the gas-based petrochemical industry. The
direct transformation of methane to more valuable products has attracted many research efforts in order to provide alternative routes over the traditional syngas-based processes. Among the numerous attempts for direct
conversion, the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) to C2 hydrocarbons still remains one of the potential routes. |
