Outline of Final Research Achievements

For conversion of methane into value-added materials, we attempted the formation of alkylbenzene from benzene and methane. Production of toluene from methane and benzene over Co/MFI zeolite catalyst was found. By combination with a conventional technique, production of para-xylene, which has been produced in a huge amount as a raw material of PET resin, is possible with using one or two carbon atoms in one xylene molecule. The presence of carbon from methane was confirmed by experiments using isotope. Co-presence of Co and ion exchange site of zeolite has been clarified to create the novel activity. Ethane and propane were found to have the similar reactions, which also open a way to efficient use of these unused resources.
