Supported loaded semiconductors （MoO3,ZnO）-TiO2/SiO2 were pre pared by an isovolumetric impregnation method from TiO2/SiO2 pre pared by chemical modification reaction. The chemisorption property and photon a bsorption ability of MoO3-TiO2/SiO2 and ZnO-TiO2/SiO 2 were investigated by BET, UV-Vis DRS, IR and TPD-MS techniques. The gas -phase photocatalytic reaction of CH4 with H2O was performed at 150 ℃ in a fixed-bed annular reactor. The results show that the conversion of met hane and the selectivity of methanol reach to 5.1% and 87.3% respectively over MoO3-TiO2/SiO2, and MoO3-TiO2/SiO2 ex hibits higher photocatalytic acivity than ZnO-TiO2/SiO2.
