A pioneering approach has been developed to convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) into methane (CH₄)—the main component of natural gas ...

"The significance of the two-stage conversion is that we can increase the ethylene selectivity and productivity at the same time with the low-cost strategy," Zhang said. "This process can be ...

Li said the next step is refining the process to make it more commercially viable. The conversion system loses efficiency as byproducts of the reaction such as potassium hydroxide begin forming on ...

Generally, there are two major routes for the direct conversion of methane to light olefins, i.e., oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) and nonoxidative coupling of methane (NOCM). The OCM process ...
