The results obtained are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1
As can be seen from Table 1, in examples 1 to 8, the opening ratio of the inner and middle walls of the reactor was not less than 60%, the material was Yinkang nickel, the reaction temperature was lower when the reactors of examples 1 to 8 were used for the oxidative coupling reaction of methane, but the selectivity of hydrocarbons of more than two carbon atoms was higher, the opening ratio of the inner wall was 40%, the opening ratio of the middle wall was 45%, the selectivity of hydrocarbons of less than 50%, the methane conversion and side reactions were lower, and the side reactions were higher in the reaction products collected after the same time, in examples 3 to 4, compared with example 7, example 2 and example 3, the thickness of the catalyst bed (i.e., the distance between the middle and inner walls in the radial direction) was unchanged. In addition, as can be seen from table 1, the methane conversion and the selectivity of hydrocarbons of more than two carbon atoms were high and the side reactions were less, because the reactor used in comparative example 1 was made of quartz, the catalyst loading was the same as that in example 1, and the catalyst bed thickness was the same, so that the effect of comparative example 1 was not greatly different from that of example 1 in terms of catalytic effect. However, as is clear from comparison of comparative example 1 and comparative example 2, the catalyst bed thickness becomes thicker as the catalyst loading increases, the methane conversion and selectivity of hydrocarbons with more than two carbons obtained are lower, and side reactions are more, indicating that the change in catalyst bed thickness has a great influence on the oxidative coupling reaction of methane. When the catalyst loading is increased, the thickness of the catalyst bed layer (namely the distance between the middle layer wall and the inner layer wall along the radial direction) is unchanged, so that the reactor is favorable for the methane oxidative coupling reaction, has higher methane conversion rate and selectivity of more than two hydrocarbons, and has less side reaction and is favorable for industrialized amplified production.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the technical idea of the invention, a number of simple variants of the technical solution of the invention are possible, including combinations of the individual technical features in any other suitable way, which simple variants and combinations should likewise be regarded as being disclosed by the invention, all falling within the scope of protection of the invention.
