Claims24
A method for converting lower alkanes to a product composition comprising a higher molecular weight hydrocarbon, said method comprising contacting a feed composition comprising lower alkanes with an oxidative coupling contact material composition substantially free of catalytically effective reducible metal oxides and comprising a fluorine-containing compound of at least one element selected from the group consisting of Sr, Ba, Sc, Y and La, said contacting being at oxidative coupling reaction conditions and in the presence of oxygen.
A method for converting C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkanes to a product composition comprising a higher molecular weight hydrocarbon, said method comprising contacting a feed composition comprising C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkanes with an oxidative coupling contact material substantially free of catalytically effective reducible metal oxides and comprising a fluorine-containing compound of Sr, said contacting being at oxidative coupling reaction conditions and in the presence of oxygen.
