  2. Sabatier reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabatier_reaction

    Paul Sabatier (1854-1941) winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 and discoverer of the reaction in 1897. The Sabatier reaction or Sabatier process produces methane and water from a reaction of hydrogen with carbon dioxide at elevated temperatures (optimally 300–400 °C) and pressures (perhaps 3 MPa [1]) in the presence of a nickel catalyst.

  3. Heterogeneous catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_catalysis

    Zeolite structure. A common catalyst support material in hydrocracking. Also acts as a catalyst in hydrocarbon alkylation and isomerization. Catalysts are not active towards reactants across their entire surface; only specific locations possess catalytic activity, called active sites. The surface area of a solid catalyst has a strong influence ...

  4. Methanation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanation

    Methanation reaction over different carried metal catalysts including Ni, [4] Ru [5] and Rh [6] has been widely investigated for the production of CH 4 from syngas and other power to gas initiatives. [3] Nickel is the most widely used catalyst due to its high selectivity and low cost. [1]

  5. Methane functionalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane_functionalization

    This method of functionalizing methane preceded the 1998 discovery by the same group of the so-called Catalytica system, the most active cycle to date in terms of turnover rate, yields, and selectivity. [6] Performing the reaction in sulfuric acid at 220 °C means that the catalyst must be able to withstand these harsh conditions.

  6. Olefin metathesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olefin_metathesis

    Reaction scheme of the olefin metathesis – changing groups are colored. In organic chemistry, olefin metathesis is an organic reaction that entails the redistribution of fragments of alkenes (olefins) by the scission and regeneration of carbon-carbon double bonds.

  7. Molecular model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_model

    The construction of physical models is often a creative act, and many bespoke examples have been carefully created in the workshops of science departments. There is a very wide range of approaches to physical modeling, including ball-and-stick models available for purchase commercially, to molecular models created using 3D printers .

  8. Free-radical halogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radical_halogenation

    A radical abstracts a hydrogen atom from methane, leaving a primary methyl radical. The methyl radical then abstracts Cl • from Cl 2 to give the desired product and another chlorine radical. Methane chlorination: propagation The radical will then participate in another propagation reaction: the radical chain. Other products such as CH 2 Cl 2 ...

  9. Methanium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanium

    At about 270 Pa of pressure and ambient temperature, the methane ion CH + 4 will react with neutral methane to yield methanium and a methyl radical: [11] CH + 4 + CH 4 → CH + 5 + CH 3 • The methanium ion can also be made in the gas phase via the reaction of methane and an H + ion (i.e. a proton). [citation needed] CH 4 + H + (g) → CH + 5
