Abstract

Three kinds of catalysts of goethites supported on γ-Al2O3 (Fe/γ-Al2O3), SiO2-Al2O3 (Fe/SiO2-Al2O3) and SiO2 (Fe/SiO2) were investigated in terms of the catalytic activity of methane oxidation. The specific surface areas of these catalysts were larger in common than the area of goethite with no supports. The Fe/γ-Al2O3 catalyst has the highest performance in the low-temperature activity of methane oxidation which started at 623 K and completed at 923 K. When the Fe-content in Fe/γ-Al2O3 was increased, the formation of goethite was observed by the X-ray analyses and the activity of this catalyst increased up to 6 mol%. After the catalytic methane oxidation at 823 K, it was observed that goethite in Fe/γ-Al2O3 transformed to hematite which has been known as an active iron oxide in methane oxidation. The activity of Fe/γ-Al2O3 was enhanced by the addition of sodium up to the Na-content of 5 mol% although it descended above the content due to the decrease of the specific surface area of the catalyst.<br>
