technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for biocatalyzing methane to prepare methanol, more particularly, the present invention relates to a method for biocatalyzing methane to methanol by methane oxidizing bacteria. technical background
[0002] The selective oxidation of methane to methanol or other substances is one of the topics that arouses great interest among researchers. Methane can be used as an efficient fuel and chemical raw material and is abundant in reserves. If it can be used effectively, it can not only slow down today's energy crisis, but also reduce environmental pollution, which is in line with today's environmental protection theme. So far, there is no chemical catalyst that can directly oxidize methane to methanol in one step. These catalytic reactions not only require multi-step reactions, but also require a high temperature of 900 °C, which is not cost-effective in energy, and the reaction selectivity and conversion rate are v...
