Selective oxidation of methane to methanol with H2O2 over an Fe-MFI zeolite catalyst using sulfolane solvent.

The effect of reaction conditions for direct oxidation of methane to methanol over Fe-MFI zeolite with H2O2 has been investigated. Sulfolane has been proved to be an efficient solvent for liquid-phase methane oxidation. A sulfolane/water mixture with an appropriate proportion led to an extremely high methanol production with a high selectivity.
