Abstract:
Oxidative coupling of lower alkane to higher hydrocarbon is conducted using catalyst comprising barium and/or strontium component and a metal oxide combustion promoter in the presence of vapor phase halogen component. High ethylene to ethane mole ratios in the product can be obtained over extended operating periods.
Abstract:
Oxidative coupling of lower alkane to higher hydrocarbon is conducted using supported catalyst comprising at least one of barium hydroxide, strontium hydroxide, barium and strontium carbonate in the presence of halogen component. High yields of higher hydrocarbon can be achieved with long catalyst life.
Abstract:
Oxidative coupling of lower alkane to higher hydrocarbon is conducted using catalyst comprising at least one of alkali metal and alkaline earth metal and an activity-enhancing amount of silver in the presence of halogen component.
