A process, developed at PETC, uses a two-step approach for converting methane to liquid fuels. In the first step, methane is oxyhydrochlorinated to chloromethane: CH{sub 4} + HCl + 1/2 O{sub 2} = CH{sub 3}Cl + H{sub 2}O. In the second step, the chloromethane is oligomerized on a zeolite catalyst such as ZSM-5, producing hydrocarbons and regenerating the HCl: CH{sub 3}Cl = -CH{sub 2}{sup -} + HCl net result of these two process steps is similar to that of oxidative coupling/oligomerization processes. the oxidation of methane to heavier hydrocarbons and water. Several publications have described work done at atmospheric pressure on the two steps in this process. We report oxyhydrochlorination activity and selectivity data for the copper catalyst used in the previous work, but at higher pressures. These data provide a firmer basis for feasibility studies of various technologies for methane conversion.
