This paper reviews the state-of-the-art in catalytic processes to convert methane (a major
component of natural gas) to more valuable hydrocarbons as fuels or chemicals. The scope …

Non‐oxidative dehydroaromatization is arguably the most promising process for the direct
upgrading of cheap and abundant methane to liquid hydrocarbons. This reaction has not …

Nonoxidative methane dehydroaromatization (MDA: 6CH4↔ C6H6+ 9H2) using shape-
selective Mo/zeolite catalysts is a key technology for exploitation of stranded natural gas …

Revolutionary shale gas production has resulted in increasing interest in the use of methane
for producing various types of high-value chemicals and among them is aromatics via …

In this paper, we study single-step natural gas conversion technologies that directly convert
methane to olefins and higher hydrocarbons. Despite the relative simplicity of these …

Non‐oxidative methane conversion over Fe© SiO2 catalyst was studied for the first time in a
hydrogen (H2) permeable tubular membrane reactor. The membrane reactor is composed of …

Abstract Silicoaluminophosphate-34 (SAPO-34) is a molecular sieve with a unique shape
structure and pore framework, favorable acidic properties, and excellent stability under …

Methane dehydroaromatization reaction at 700° C over Mo/ZSM-5 involves numerous
modifications of the molybdenum species from the catalyst preparation and throughout the …

The abundance of methane has led to a strong interest to use methane as a feedstock in the
chemical industry. One of the main challenges is the initial activation of the methane …

Methane dehydroaromatization was studied over Fe/ZSM-5 promoted catalysts. Transitions
metals (Cu, Ni, Co, and Zn) were used as promoters aiming to alter the Fe reducibility …
