The effects of substitutions for both cation (Pb2+) and anion (CO32-) in hydroxyapatite (HAP) structure on OCM reactions were investigated. The acid-base properties of the solids strongly depended on the types of substitution. Kinetic studies were done to study the reaction mechanism for the substituted HAP-based catalyst.
