<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Methane oxidation using different catalysts is an useful process for preventing air pollution. This study presents the methane oxidation by two types of catalysts: Pd-Sn/Al2O3 and spinel mixed oxide, CuFe2O4. The Pd-Sn/Al2O3 was successfully prepared by sol-gel method and CuFe2O4 by co-precipitation method. The catalysts obtained have been characterized structurally, morphologically and texturally by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and specific surface area (BET).
