Abstract


The selectivity of Fe-MFI catalysts to partial peroxide oxidation of methane to methanol and formic acid was studied depending on their topology (Nanocrystals, Microcrystals, and bulk Commercial) and activation with oxalic acid. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, ICP-OES, SEM, UV-vis DR, NH3-TPD, N2 adsorption. TOF of methane oxidation increased in the series: Nanocrystals < Microcrystals
