Coherently synchronized reaction of methane oxidation by green oxidizer–hydrogen peroxide – over the biomimetic catalyst iron pentafluorotetraphenylporphyrin deposited on alumina

Abstract

AbstractThe activity of penta- FTPhPFe(III)/Al2O3 biomimetic catalyst in the reaction of methane direct conversion into methanol by green oxidant hydrogen peroxide was studied at T = 150–350 °C and atmospheric pressure, where methanol yield was 19.2% with methane conversion of 28%. Based on the results of the structural analysis of the Al2O3 support and the biomimetic catalyst sample the mesoporosity of support with pore size in the range of dp = 2.4–22.2 nm in the cylindric shape with an open end and the synthesized biomimetic nanostructure were determined. The data on the definition of the nature and quantitative assessment of Al2O3 support acid–base centers are given that made possible to describe probable mechanism of methane coherent-synchronized oxidation into methanol on the biomimetic.
