Process for Selective, Partial oxidation, methane substantially free of solvent, Methanol and / or a Derivative of methanol with a heterogeneous Catalyst and sulfur trioxide.

摘要

Claim 1, a process for the selective partial oxidation, methane, being substantially free of solvent process, a process that involves placing Sulfur TRIOXIDE and gaseous Methane in Operational contact with a Solid acid Catalyst material, and a contact Combination of temperature,Methane pressure and for a Time sufficient to convert at least a portion of such forms of non gaseous Sulfur TRIOXIDE to oxidize gaseous Sulfur TRIOXIDE and selectively and partially at least a portion of the Methane partial oxidation product of at least one selected from a Group. E consists of methanol and Methanol Derivatives.
