Oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) presents a direct route to upgrade methane to higher value hydrocarbons in the presence of an oxidant. There have been extensive efforts dedicated to studying the initial coupling reactions to form ethylene, but there has been much less emphasis on further molecular weight growth to C 3 + species since it was first noted in the 1990′s. Here, catalysts were first screened for OCM activity and production of C 3 + during operation at high methane conversion, especially within the more-recently developed family of A 2 WO 4 -MnO x /SiO 2 (A=none, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) catalysts. Within these, K and Rb presented a similar OCM performance to that of the more popular Na-system. Ag- and La- co-doping were also assessed to follow up on recent reports of high performance, but the latter had minimal impact on C 2 + formation under these conditions. Ethylene and propylene concentrations rose in proportion, independent of catalyst composition, suggesting that C 3 + formation was a gas-phase, radical process, not occurring directly on the catalyst surface. As such, ethylene-methane co-feeds were investigated over a range of reactor conditions for Na 2 WO 4 -MnO x /SiO 2 , which was relatively stable over multiple days at high conversion and the most active under conventional OCM conditions. Ethylene co-feeds increased the C 3 + selectivity over a range of reactor conditions, but it also promoted CO x formation. Nonetheless, this work shows that further growth of C 3 + species under OCM conditions can be achieved, which may be desirable under certain scenarios. [Display omitted] • Family of (alkali) 2 WO 4 -MnO X /SiO 2 screened for OCM, including La and Ag dopants. • At high conversion, C 3 H 6 yields scale with C 2 H 4 production, regardless of catalyst. • With ethylene co-feed, Na 2 WO 4 -MnO X /SiO 2 improves C 3 H 6 production. • Results motivate two-stage OCM or OCM after cracking using modern catalysts.
