β¦ Synopsis
Addition of trace amounts of H&l to the reactants for metbane oxidative coupling results in the formation of SO, and poisoning of a lanthanum oxide catalyst. Poisoning has little effect on Cx+ selectivity until conversion falls to a low level. The factors controlling catalyst poisoning were found to be sulfur concentration, gas flow-rate and catalyst temperature. Poisoned catalyst was characterised by PI-IRS, XRD, 1sOz exchange capacity and TGA, and was found to involve formation of inactive LaxO,SO, which has a decomposition temperature of ca. 900Β°C under reaction conditions. An equilibrium is set up between formation and decomposition of the LazOzSOI, and the extent of poisoning depends on partial pressure of SO,.

## Abstract WβMn/SiO~2~ catalyst has been developed in our laboratory (LICP), which is active, selective and stable for oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) in fixed bed and fluidized bed reactors. The research results have been reproduced at different reaction conditions by two groups of J. H. Luns
Volcano-type patterns, not only in methane conversion but also in C x + hydrocarbons' selectivity, were observed over 60 wt.-% of PbO loaded on y-alumina. The maximum population of PbAl\*O, spine1 phase, considered to be formed due to the diffusion of Pb\*+ as well as A13+ and O\*-ions, was obtained
