ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a process for the oxidative conversion of methane or natural gas to higher hydrocarbons, particularly ethylene and ethane, characterized in that a methane-oxygen mixture is passed over a contact mass consisting of at least one compound pertaining to the family of rare-earth metal carbonates. It concerns particularly the use of rare-earth oxycarbonates, more particularly lanthanum oxycarbonate La.sub.2 O.sub.2 (CO.sub.3), as contact mass.
