Kinetic Modeling of the Oxidative Coupling of Methane

Abstract

In this study, we propose an original approach derived from Benson's techniques to estimate the kinetic parameters of surface reactions. This method allows one to write the heterogeneous mechanism of the oxidative coupling of methane used in the Chemkin Surface Program. Experimental investigations were performed and compared to simulated values derived from a kinetic model, taking into account heterogeneous and gas-phase reactions.
