Oxyhydrochlorination
Oxyhydrochlorination : A two-stage process for making gasoline from lower paraffinic hydrocarbons, especially methane. The methane, mixed with oxygen and hydrogen chloride, is passed over a supported copper chloride catalyst, yielding a mixture of chloromethanes: CH4 + O2 + HCl = CH3Cl + H2O 12 These chloromethanes are converted to gasoline using a zeolite catalyst, and the hydrogen chloride co-product is recycled.
