Abstract: Under pulse corona plasma, heterogeneous catalysis of metal oxides upon the dehydrogenative coupling of methane was examined. In the presence of pulse corona plasma, the tested materials show various catalytic activities and adjust distribution of C2 products to a certain extent. Comparing the results with a blank γ-Al2O3 carrier, the C2 yield of a loaded γ-Mn2O3/γ-Al2O3 catalyst under plasma is nearly three times as large as the former and the C2 selectivity increases over 30 percent. Combined pulse corona plasma with it, the energy efficiency increases by a factor of 3 at least. Finally, a tentative model for the dehydrogenative coupling of methane under plasma over the catalyst is proposed.
