Oxidative Coupling of Methane in a Negative DC Corona Reactor at Low Temperature
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) in the presence of DC corona is reported in a narrow glass tube reactor at atmospheric pressure and at temperatures below 200°C. The corona is created by applying 2200V between a tip and a plate electrode 1.5 mm apart. The C 2 selectivity as well as the methane conversion are functions of methane‐to‐oxygen ratio, gas residence time, and electric current. At CH 4 /O 2 ratio of 5 and the residence time of about 30 ms, a C 2 yield of 23.1% has been achieved. The main products of this process are ethane, ethylene, acetylene as well as CO and CO 2 with CO/CO 2 ratios as high as 25. It is proposed that methane is activated by electrophilic oxygen species to form methyl radicals and C 2 products are produced by a consecutive mechanism, whereas CO x is formed during parallel reactions.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
