Low thermal plasma condition has been selected as the reaction media to allow high excitation level of stable gases, i.e., methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2). It shows that CZA catalyst produced a good reaction performance in the plasma process by increasing methanol production more than twice higher than noncatalytic plasma process. A catalytic modification of CZA catalyst by Ga and Cr addition was conducted to boost the yield of methanol production. The presence of Ga and Cr led to the increment of methanol yield ca. 20-25 % compared to pure or original CZA catalyst. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Copper-zinc-alumina (CZA),Methane oxidation,Methanol,Plasma catalyst[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Acknowledgments This study was supported by the Global R&D Program of Korea Foundation for International Cooperation of Science and Technology.
