Methods for increasing the efficiency of catalysts for the oxidative condensation of methane

Possible ways of increasing the efficiency of catalysts for the oxidative condensation of methane by increasing the pressure, adding other gases to the reaction mixture (methane + oxygen), and carrying out the process under cyclic redox conditions have been examined. In some cases the yield of C₂-hydrocarbons can be increased to 32%. The bibliography includes 102 references.
