The oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) over a K2WO4/SiO2catalyst was investigated using a CH4–O2flow system. The addition of H2O to the reactant stream caused an increase in the CH4conversion rate and C2selectivity, consistent with the kinetics associated with the equilibrated OH radical generation, followed by H-abstraction from CH4with OH radicals. The C2+(a sum of C2and higher hydrocarbons) yield reaches a maximum of 24.7% (C2H4yield 17.0%) at a CH4conversion of 47.1%, comparable to those over the previously reported Na2WO4/SiO2catalyst. In situ near ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy uncovered K2O2and KO2species at and above 560 °C in the presence of gas-phase O2. These K2O2/KO2species are considered to catalyze H2O activation for OH radical generation. By in situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction, K2WO4maintained a crystalline phase in the bulk during the OCM reaction at 850 °C in contrast to the molten state of Na2WO4previously reported. This indicates that the melting of the supported component and the covering of support are not essential to achieve a high C2yield in supported alkali metal tungstate catalysts as long as inert support materials are used toward OCM.
