Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>In the production of higher hydrocarbons, combining oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) with hydrogenation of the formed carbon oxides in a separate reactor provides an alternative to the currently applied methane conversion to syngas followed by Fischer‐Tropsch synthesis. The effects of CH₄:O₂ feed ratio in the OCM reactor and partial pressures of H₂ or/and H₂O in the hydrogenation reactor were analyzed to maximize production of C₂₊ hydrocarbons and reduce CO_x formation. The highest C₂₊ yield was achieved with low CH₄:O₂ feed ratio for OCM and removal of the formed water before entering the hydrogenation reactor.</p> </abstract>
