The structure and promotional effect of Mn in supported Mn-Na2WO4/SiO2catalysts for the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) reaction has been debated for a longtime in the literature. In the current investigation, with the aid of multiplein-situcharacterization studies, we show that the freshly calcined supported 1.2Mn-5Na2WO4/SiO2catalyst possesses crystalline Na2WO4, Mn2O3and SiO2(cristobalite phase) along with surface MnOxand Na-WOxsites at low temperature and oxidizing environments. Under the OCM reaction environment (T > 800 °C), the crystalline Na2WO4phase melts and Mn2O3phase reduces. In contrast, the surface MnOxand Na-WOxsites exhibit excellent thermal and chemical stability. Exposure of the 1.2Mn-5Na2WO4/SiO2catalyst to the OCM reaction environment redisperses the molten Na2WO4phase on the SiO2support to form new surface WOxsites. Interestingly, the stable MnOxspecies interacts with both molten Na2WO4phase and surface Na-WOxsites during OCM reaction. Controlled transient kinetic experiments in TAP and detailed steady state OCM fixed-bed reaction studies reveal the role and promotional effect of Mn in the 1.2Mn-5Na2WO4/SiO2catalyst. The W-oxides (both molten Na2WO4and surface Na-WOxsites) are the active sites for the catalytic OCM reaction and the MnOxspecies only function as promoters. The promotion of MnOxstrongly depends on the gas phase O2partial pressure and the MnOxspecies act as mediators for oxygen exchange between the gas phase molecular O2and catalyst lattice oxygen. The temperature dependent MnOxpromotion reveals that the MnOxspecies selectively promote the molten Na2WO4phase at lower reaction temperature and the surface Na-WOxsites at higher temperature.
