PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF METHYL OR ETHYL MONO-CHLORIDE OR BROMIDE

摘要

Methyl or ethyl mono-chloride or bromide are produced selectively from methane or ethane hydrogen chloride or bromide by feeding the methane or ethane and hydrogen chloride or bromide and a source of molecular oxygen to an oxychlorination zone maintained at a temperature below 450oC and containing a supported oxychlorination catalyst.
