Abstract:
The oxidative coupling of methane to ethylene using gaseous disulfur (2CH4 + S2 → C2H4 + 2H2S) as an oxidant (SOCM) proceeds with promising selectivity. Here, we report detailed experimental and theoretical studies that examine the mechanism for the conversion of CH4 to C2H4 over an Fe3O4-derived FeS2 catalyst achieving a promising ethylene selectivity of 33%. We compare and contrast these results with those for the highly exothermic oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) using O2 (2CH4 + O2 → C2H4 + 2H2O). SOCM kinetic/mechanistic analysis, along with density functional theory results, indicate

Abstract:
Abstract. Permafrost-affected tundra soils are significant sources of the climate-relevant trace gas methane (CH4). The observed accelerated warming of the arctic will cause deeper permafrost thawing, followed by increased carbon mineralization and CH4 formation in water-saturated tundra soils, thus creating a positive feedback to climate change. Aerobic CH4 oxidation is regarded as the key process reducing CH4 emissions from wetlands, but quantification of turnover rates has remained difficult so far. The application of carbon stable isotope fractionation enables the in situ quantification of

Abstract:
Abstract. Small boreal lakes are known to contribute significantly to global CH4 emissions. Lake Lovojärvi is a eutrophic lake in southern Finland with bottom water CH4 concentrations up to 2 mM. However, the surface water concentration, and thus the diffusive emission potential, was low (&lt; 0.5 µM). We studied the biogeochemical processes involved in CH4 removal by chemical profiling and through incubation experiments. δ13C-CH4 profiling of the water column revealed a methane-oxidation hotspot just below the oxycline and zones of CH4 oxidation within the anoxic water column.

Abstract:
Methane (CH4) oxidation is an important process for regulating CH4 emissions from peatlands as it oxidizes CH4 to carbon dioxide (CO2). Our current knowledge about its temporal dynamics and contribution to ecosystem CO2 fluxes is, however, limited due to methodological constraints. Here, we present the first results from a novel method for quantifying in-situ CH4 oxidation at high temporal resolution. Using an automated chamber system, we measured the isotopic signature of heterotrophic respiration (CO2 emissions from vegetation-free plots) at a boreal mire in northern Sweden. Based on these d

Abstract:
The reaction between SiC powder and H2O has been studied at 400°–800 °C under 10 and 100 MPa. Silicon carbide reacted with H2O to yield amorphous SiO2 and CH4 by the reaction SiC + 2H2O→SiO2 + CH4 above 500 °C. Cristobalite and tridymite crystallized from amorphous silica after the almost complete oxidation of SiC above 700 °C. The oxidation rate, as calculated from the weight gain, increased with temperature and pressure. The Arrhenius plotting of the reaction rate based on a Jander-type model gave apparent activation energies of 167–194 kJ/mol. Contrasted with oxidation in oxidative atmosphe

Abstract. Partly anoxic stratified humic lakes are important sources of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. We followed the fate of CH4 and CO2 in a small boreal stratified lake, Alinen Mustajärvi, during 2007–2009. In 2008 and 2009 the lake received additions of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) with stable carbon isotope ratio (δ13C) around 16‰ higher than that of local allochthonous DOC. Carbon transformations in the water column were studied by measurements of δ13C of CH4 and of the dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). Furthermore, CH4 and CO2 production, consumption and em

Abstract:
Abstract. Rapid warming of Arctic ecosystems accelerates microbial decomposition of soil organic matter and leads to increased production of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). CH4 oxidation potentially mitigates CH4 emissions from permafrost regions, but it is still highly uncertain whether soils in high-latitude ecosystems will function as a net source or sink for CH4 in response to rising temperature and associated hydrological changes. We investigated CH4 production and oxidation potential in permafrost-affected soils from degraded ice-wedge polygons on the Barrow Environmental Observa

Abstract:
The rates of CH4 oxidation by strains of groups I and II methanotrophs in pure culture were studied at various O2 concentrations from 0 to 63 % v/v. In the presence of nonlimiting dissolved CH4 and inorganic nitrogen, O2 concentrations from 0.45 to 20% v/v supported maximum rates of CH4 oxidation. The critical dissolved O2 concentration under our conditions was about 5.7 μM, below which O2 was limiting for CH4 oxidation. Concentrations of O2 up to 63% v/v depressed the activity of CH4 oxidation by ≥ 23%. We conclude that methanotrophs are not microaerophilic under the conditions of our experim

Abstract:
Abstract. Methanotrophic bacteria play an important role oxidizing a significant fraction of methane (CH4) produced in lakes. Aerobic CH4 oxidation depends on lake CH4 and oxygen (O2) concentrations, temperature, and organic carbon input to lakes, including from thawing permafrost in thermokarst (thaw)-affected lakes. Given the large variability in these environmental factors, CH4 oxidation is expected to be subject to large seasonal and geographic variations, which have been scarcely reported in the literature. In the present study, we measured CH4 oxidation rates in 30 Alaskan lakes along a
