A study has been carried out of fluidized bed reactors and of membrane reactors as contactors for methane oxidative coupling. Both reactors are capable of providing a low oxygen concentration in the gas phase in contact with the catalyst, which can be expected to increase the selectivity to hydrocarbons in the system studied. Other operational characteristics such as temperature gradients within the reactor are also discussed.
