ABSTRACT:
A process for making ethylene, ethane and other higher hydrocarbons from methane is disclosed. In this process methane is contacted with oxygen in the presence of at least one metal of Group IB of the Periodic Table of the Elements, with the proviso that if the metal is copper an additional Group IB must be present, a metal-containing chloride or a metal-containing compound capable of being formed into a metal-containing chloride in situ, where the metal is manganese, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal or a rare earth metal of the lanthanide series, and a volatile halide.
