Method for deriving methanol from waste generated methane and structured product formulated therefrom

摘要

Methanol is produced from bacterially oxidized waste methane by reaction with Pd⁺², Cu⁺², air, and molten phthalic anhydride in an entrained oxidizer generating half ester of methyl phthalate which is reaction distilled to produce methanol and recycle phthalic anhydride containing the Pd⁺², Cu⁺² phthalate catalyst.
