ABSTRACT:
A process is disclosed for catalytically converting methane to synthesis gas and one or more saturated or unsaturated higher molecular weight hydrocarbons, such as ethane, ethylene, and acetylene. The process employs a homogeneous gas phase hydrogen halide catalyst other than hydrogen fluoride to faciltiate the pyrolytic oxidation of methane. Alternatively the homogeneous gas phase catalyst may consist of a mixture of gaseous hydrogen halide and gaseous halogen, or a halogen gas.
