Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper analyzes phase states in the Na2O-WO3-MnO-Mn2O3 and Na2O-WO3-Mn2O3-SiO2 systems at temperatures of oxidative coupling of methane (OCM). The results indicate that, in the case of effective OCM, Na/W/Mn/SiO2 composite catalysts are in melt-Mn2O3 -tridymite (cristobalite) equilibrium.
