Na-W-Mn-Zr-S-P/SiO2 catalysts for oxidative coupling of methane(OCM)were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation,sol-gel and mixture slurry methods.The catalyst prepared by mixture slurry method showed the best catalytic performance among all samples.In addition,the effects of different addition sequences of Na,W,Mn,Zr,S and P on the catalytic performance were studied.The absence of Na before the addition of Mn and Zr in the catalysts preparation depressed the formation of the active phases of Mn203 and ZrO2 and decreased the activities of the catalysts significantly.
