Methane and Butane catalytic oxidation was conducted with vanadium and titania based catalyst in the thermalcatalytic reactor and photocatalytic reactor.
Thermalcatalytic reactor was made by stainless steel tube and temperature controlled through the electrical furnace in the range of 350℃ to 570℃.
Low pressure lamp(39watt) and high pressure lamp(400watt) was installed in the photocatalytic reactor. Three kind of catalyst was prepared. First is crystalline glass having V_(2)O_(5)-P_(2)O(-5)-B_(2)O_(3)composition which was prepared through melting and annealing process. Second is V_(2)O_(5)/SiO_(2) impregnated catalyst haying 0.1% and 0.25% V_(2)O_(5) composition. The last is titania film made from chemical vapor deposition having 7000Å thickness from XRD analysis and the experimental data obtained in anatase type.
The reaction results was as follows, Methane reaction on V_(2)O_(5)-P_(2)O-(5)-B_(2)O_(3) catalyst was not obtained any product in the temperature range of 350℃ to 570℃ Butane reaction on V_(2)O_(5)-P_(2)O_(5)-B_(2)O_(3) gives form aldehyde, acetic acid, acrylic acid and maleic anhydride. As B_(2)O_(3) composition increased the selectivity of C_(l)-C_(3) product was increased. Methane of oxidation on V_(2)O_(5)/S_(1)O_(2) was peformed with NO gas as a partial oxidation promoter. The optimum methanol yield was 1.06% with 0.25% V_(2)O_(5)/S_(1)O_(2) catalyst and 15.8mol% NO.
Butane was converted Into CO2 under high pressure lamp and 0.6% yield of methanol was producted from methane with low pressure mercury lamp in the presence of titania film.
