Abstract

Methane can be converted in high yields to aromatic products using an integrated recycle system containing both an oxidative coupling (OCM) reactor at 800°C, for conversion of CH4 to C2H4, and a secondary reactor containing Ga/ZSM-5 at 520°C for subsequent conversion of ethylene to aromatics. Using this system, aromatic product yields of >70% at CH4 conversions of ~100%, based on total CH4 added, can be obtained.
