Abstract: Methods are disclosed for converting ethane to ethanol through a multi-step process with ethylene as an intermediate. Methods are also disclosed for facilitating the transportation, purification or other treatment of ethylene using a chemical conversion to ethanol and reconversion to ethylene. Methods are also disclosed for converting ethane to ethylene using ethanol as a temporary intermediate to minimize purification, transportation and/or other treatment costs.
