Abstract

Silica-supported silicomolybdic acid (SMA) catalysts showed a very high activity for partial oxidation of methane into formaldehyde at 873 K in the presence of an excess amount of water vapor in feed. However, the high activity was observed only when the catalysts were heated to 873 K with very high heating rates such as 100 K min-1. In this article, the reason why these high heating rates are necessary to exhibit the higher catalytic activity into formaldehyde will be discussed based on the structural changes in SMA during heating the catalysts to 873 K.
