The oxidation of methane during flow over CuO and Fe2O3has been examined in the temperature range of 400–650°C. The reaction rate and carbon isotope fractionation are dependent upon the choice of oxide and temperature. The activation energy is lower for hematite (8.0 kcal mole−1) than for cupric oxide (16.6 kcal mole−1). The measured ratios of the isotopic rate constantsα =k12/k13were found to have temperature dependences given by:103(α − 1) =2.93 × 106/T2+ 8.11(cupric oxide)103(α − 1) =7.44 × 106/T2+ 6.56(hematite)Abiogenic oxidation of methane is probably a significant mechanism for fractionating carbon isotopes in nature.
