OXIDATIVE CONVERSION OF METHANE,TOLUENE,ACETONITRILE ETC. IN THE PRESENCE OF A FREE OXYGEN CONTAINING GAS TO FEEDSTOCK FOR CHEMICAL AND PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRIES

摘要

A solid composition of matter selected from the group consisting of: (a) a component comprising: (1) at least one material selected from the group consisting of Group IA metals and compounds containing said metals, a component comprising: (2) at least one material selected from the group consisting of zinc and compounds containing zinc, and a component comprising: (3) at least one material selected from the group consisting of chloride ions, compounds containing chloride ions; tin and compounds containing tin; and (b) a component comprising: (1) at least one material selected from the group consisting of Group IA metals and compounds containing said metals, a component comprising: (2) zinc oxide, and, optionally, a component comprising: (3) at least one material selected from the group consisting of chloride ions, compounds containing chloride ions tin and compounds containing tin. The above composition of matter is useful as a solid contact material adapted to convert feed organic compounds to product organic compounds, particularly, in the presence of a free oxygen containing gas. A method for the conversion of feed organic materials to product organic materials, particularly methane to ethylene, in the presence of a free oxygen containing gas, utilizing combinations of Group IA metals, zinc and, optionally, chloride ions and/or tin, is also disclosed.
