Technoeconomic Evaluation of the Industrial Implementation of Catalytic Direct Nonoxidative Methane Coupling. Ind Eng Chem Res 2022; 61:566-579. [PMID: 35035066 PMCID: PMC8759068 DOI: 10.1021/acs.iecr.1c03572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2021] [Revised: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
This paper presents a process design for catalytic nonoxidative natural gas conversion to olefins and aromatics, highlighting the opportunities and challenges concerning industrial implementation. The optimal reactor conditions are 5 bar and 1000 °C. Heat exchange over the reactor is challenging due to the high temperature and low gas pressure. Recovery of ethylene is economically unattractive due to the low ethylene concentration in the product stream, leading to a methane-to-aromatics process, recycling ethylene. Benzene is the most valuable product at an efficiency of 0.31 kgbenzene/kgmethane with hydrogen as a major valuable byproduct. Naphthalene, with a low value, is unfortunately the dominant product, at 0.52 kgnaphthalene/kgmethane. It is suggested to hydrocrack the naphthalene to more valuable BTX products in an additional downstream process. The process is calculated to result in a 107 $ profit per ton CH4.

Abstract
Ethylene production via oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) represents an interesting route for natural gas upscaling, being the focus of intensive research worldwide. Here, OCM developments are analysed in terms of kinetic mechanisms and respective applications in chemical reactor models, discussing current challenges and directions for further developments. Furthermore, some thermodynamic aspects of the OCM reactions are also revised, providing achievable olefins yields in a wide range of operational reaction conditions. Finally, OCM catalysts are reviewed in terms of respective catalytic performances and thermal stability, providing an executive summary for future studies on OCM economic feasibility.

Abstract
Alkanes are the major constituents of natural gas and crude oil, the feedstocks for the chemical industry. The efficient and selective activation of C-H bonds can convert abundant and low-cost hydrocarbon feedstocks into value-added products. Due to the increasing global demand for light alkenes and their corresponding polymers as well as synthesis gas and hydrogen production, C-H bond activation of light alkanes has attracted widespread attention. A theoretical understanding of C-H bond activation in light hydrocarbons via density functional theory (DFT) and microkinetic modeling provides a feasible approach to gain insight into the process and guidelines for designing more efficient catalysts to promote light alkane transformation. This review describes the recent progress in computational catalysis that has addressed the C-H bond activation of light alkanes. We start with direct and oxidative C-H bond activation of methane, with emphasis placed on kinetic and mechanistic insights obtained from DFT assisted microkinetic analysis into steam and dry reforming, and the partial oxidation dependence on metal/oxide surfaces and nanoparticle size. Direct and oxidative activation of the C-H bond of ethane and propane on various metal and oxide surfaces are subsequently reviewed, including the elucidation of active sites, intriguing mechanisms, microkinetic modeling, and electronic features of the ethane and propane conversion processes with a focus on suppressing the side reaction and coke formation. The main target of this review is to give fundamental insight into C-H bond activation of light alkanes, which can provide useful guidance for the optimization of catalysts in future research.

Abstract
Periodic density functional theory calculations were performed to study the surface structures and stabilities of the La2O3 catalyst in CO2 and O2 environments, relevant to the conditions of the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) reaction. Thermodynamic stabilities of the clean surfaces were predicted to follow the order of (001) ≥ (011) ≫ (110) > (111) > (101) > (100), with their direct band gaps at the Γ point following the similar order of (001) > (011) > (110) > (111) > (100) > (101). Hubbard U corrections to the La 4f and 5d orbitals do not qualitatively change the predictions of surface energies and band gaps. For the most stable (001) surface, CO2 chemisorption to form carbonate species is exothermic by -0.60 eV with a negligible energy barrier of 0.07 eV, whereas O2 chemisorption to form peroxide species is endothermic by 0.64 eV with a considerable energy barrier of 1.29 eV. For the slightly less stable (011) surface, both CO2 and O2 chemisorption can occur at different surface sites, and the same applies to the other studied surfaces. Dissociation temperatures of surface carbonate species range from 300 to 1000 K at pCO2 of 1 bar, which follow the order of (101) ≈ (110) > (111) ≈ (100) ≈ (011) ≫ (001), showing their strong sensitivity to the surface structure. Dissociation temperatures of surface peroxide species are mostly lower than the room temperature except for those of the (011) and (111) surfaces, although the significant kinetic barriers predicted should prevent their facile dissociation. Insights into the temperature-programmed desorption experiments and the methane reactivity of La2O3 in the OCM reaction were also given based on the results of our calculations.
