Catalytic performances of 28 mg catalysts of 0.10 wt%Rh supported on different supports in a mixture of 10 bar CH4, 10 bar CO, and 8 bar O2 at 150 °C for 3 h with 10 mL H2O in a high-pressure reactor
| Entry | Samples | Methanol (μ mol) | Formic acid (μ mol) | Acetic acid (μ mol) | Total products (μ mol) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | H-ZSM-5 | 3.67 | 2.28 | 1.87 | 7.82 |
| 2 | 0.10%Rh/SiO2 | 8.70 | 4.62 | 6.13 | 19.46 |
| 3 | 0.10%Rh/Al2O3 | 5.68 | 0.91 | 3.05 | 9.64 |
Acetic acid, formic acid, and methanol were identified as products. Reactants on pure H-ZSM-5 was also performed at the same conditions as blank experiment (entry 1)
