Abstract The effect of the level of lithium carbonate doping on MgO, prepared by thermal decomposition of the basic carbonate, is re-examined. A low, sub monolayer, loading, ie. 0.2% Li2CO3-MgO is shown to significantly enhance both the specific activity for methane activation and the total C2 hydrocarbon selectivity. The study indicates that the optimal loading of alkali promoters on MgO prepared in this way is considerably lower than indicated in previous studies.
