Abstract

This project involves an experimental study to evaluate the carboxylation of methane with CO2 to produce acids and acetates, based on the oxidative methane coupling, using nanostructured catalysts. The aim is to produce compounds with high added value and contribute to the mitigation of environmental problems caused by the emission of methane and CO2 in natural gas production units. (AU)
