Abstract: Oxidative bromination of methane over different carriers-supported Rh-based catalysts showed that inert supports such as SiC and SiO2 were in favor of the selectivity for bromomethanes, but deep oxidation occurred over metal oxide-supported ones. The superior performance of inert carrier-supported catalysts was ascribed to the medium redox ability, which suppressed CH3Br steam reforming.

Key words: methane, oxidative bromination, rhodium, support, supported catalyst
