PROCESS FOR OXIDATION OF A LOWER ALKANE AT LOW TEMPERATURES IN AMMONIA-CONTAINING GAS MIXTURES

摘要

In a process for the oxidation of a lower alkane, such as methane, over a catalyst containing Cu and one or more zeolite or zeotype materials, the oxidation is conducted in the presence of ammonia in the feed gas at a process temperature below 350° C. The oxidation can be performed in a continuous process.
