摘要:
The invention relates to a process for producing ethane comprising contacting methane with a metal catalyst selected from metal hydrides, metal organic compounds and mixtures thereof. It also relates to a process for the conversion of methane to carbon-containing products comprising contacting methane with a metal catalyst comprising at least one metal, Me, chosen from the lanthanides, the actinides and the metals from Groups 2 to 12 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, so as to produce ethane in a proportion of at least 65%, especially at least 98% or 99% by weight with respect to carbon-containing products formed in the process. The process can be a single-step process, preferably carried out under conditions involving a non-oxidative catalytic coupling of methane, in particular under operating conditions maintained substantially constant, preferably continuously, during the ethane production, e.g. at a temperature ranging from −30° C. to +80° C., preferably from 20° C. to 500° C., under a total absolute pressure ranging from 10−3 to 100 MPa, preferably from 0.1 to 50 MPa. The metal catalyst may be chosen from metal catalysts supported on and preferably grafted to a solid support. One of the main advantages of the present invention is to produce ethane with a very high selectivity.

The invention relates to a supported metal compound, comprising a support made from aluminium oxide to which a tungsten hydride is grafted. The support may be selected from the homogeneous supports with a composition based on aluminum oxide and from heterogeneous supports made from aluminium oxide with aluminum oxide essentially on the surface of said support. The support may in particular comprise aluminium oxide, mixed aluminium oxides and modified aluminium oxides particularly comprising one or more elements of groups 15 to 17 of the periodic table of the elements, such as phosphorus, sulphur, fluorine or chlorine. A support made from porous, non-porous or mesoporous aluminas is preferred. The degree of oxidation of the tungsten may have a value of from 2 to 6. The tungsten atom is generally bonded to one or several hydrogen atoms and optionally to one or several hydrocarbon groups. According to the invention, the compound may be prepared by a dispersion step and grafting of a tungsten organometallic precursor to the support made from aluminium oxide then hydrogenation of the resulting product. The product may be used as catalyst in reactions of cleavage and recombination of hydrocarbons, particularly in hydrocarbon metathesis reactions most particularly of alkanes. The product has a surprising, extremely high catalytic activity in this type of reaction and in particular, a high selectivity for the formation of n-alkanes with relation to iso-alkanes.

The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of alkanes comprising a catalytic reaction resulting from contacting methane with at least one other starting alkane (I) in the presence of a metal compound (C) capable of catalysing a reaction for the splitting and/or recombination of a carbon-carbon bond and/or of a carbon-hydrogen bond and/or of a carbon-metal bond, which catalytic reaction results in the formation of at least one final alkane (II) having a number of carbon atoms equal to or greater than (2). In the process, the contacting operation is carried out under a methane partial pressure equal to or greater than 0.1 MPa, preferably in the range from 0.1 to 100 MPa. The metal compound (C) can be chosen from metal compounds supported on and dispersed over a solid support, metal compounds supported on and grafted to a solid support and non-supported metal compounds. Under these conditions, it was found that the yield of the catalytic reaction was improved, and that the catalytic stability and activity of the metal compound (C) over timer were greatly enhanced.

摘要:
A process for the manufacture of alkanes comprising a cross-metathesis reaction between at least one starting alkane (A) and one organometallic compound (B) fixed to an inorganic support and comprising a metal bonded to at least one hydrocarbon-comprising radical. The reaction leads to the formation of at least one other alkane (C) which is a higher or lower homologue of the starting alkane (A), by cleavage of the hydrocarbon-comprising radical with the metal of the organometallic compound (B) and recombination of the radical with at least one other radical originating from a cleavage of the starting alkane (A). The metal of the compound (B) preferably is selected from transition metals, lanthanides and actinides, and the hydrocarbon-comprising radical of the compound (B) preferably is selected from alkyl, alkylidene and alkylidyne radicals.

The present invention also relates to the use of a catalyst capable of catalyzing a metathesis of alkanes in 3 reaction resulting from bringing methane into contact with at least one other starting alkane (A).
