THIRTY years have elapsed since Profs. W. A. Bone and R. V. Wheeler first studied the combustion of methane and were led to the view that oxidation takes place through successive stages of ...

The catalytic process of total methane oxidation presents itself as an extremely favorable alternative to flame combustion, as it helps to reduce the production of NO x, CO emissions and non-oxidized ...

As the "holy grail" in the field of chemistry, the catalytic activation of methane has been a topic of great interest in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Gas-phase experiments provide an ideal ...

From this site you may download the Fortran code for the CHEMKIN subroutine CKWYP, the fort.15 file, and a list of steps in the reduced mechanism using the links below. Using a computer algorithm for ...

A recently-discovered chemical process could have led to widespread formation of the greenhouse gas methane when Earth was young. The reaction doesn’t involve living organisms, so could have occurred ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 116, No. 39 (September 24, 2019), pp. 19305-19310 (6 pages) Methane hydrates have important industrial and climate ...

Considerable study has been done on methane oxidation to yield methanol, used in producing valuable substances like formaldehyde, dimethyl ether, and more. Yet, methane remains the most challenging ...
