    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the manufacturing of methane sulfonic acid (MSA) by reaction of a radical initiator composition with methane and sulfur trioxide comprising the steps (a) preparation of the intiator composition by reacting aqueous hydrogen peroxide with the components methane sulfonic acid and methane sulfonic acid anhydride and (b) reaction of the initiator composition from step (a) with sulfur trioxide and methane to form methane sulfonic acid. The invention further relates to the use of methane sulfonic acid anhydride (MSA anhydride) in said process and to methane sulfonic acid manufactured by said process.

    Abstract: A process for manufacturing of an alkanesulfonic acid, and an alkanesulfonic acid manufactured by the process. Aspects of the process may involve manufacturing an alkanesulfonic acid by reaction of an initiator composition with an alkane and sulfur trioxide by preparing an initiator composition by reacting aqueous hydrogen peroxide with alkanesulfonic acid and/or H2SO4; and reacting the initiator composition with sulfur trioxide and alkane to form an alkanesulfonic acid, wherein an alkane with a purity of at least 98.0 mol-% is used.
