Methyl chloride via oxyhydrochlorination of methane

Description: Work to develop a highly selective methyl chloride synthesis catalyst continued, but no stable catalyst with >80% selectivity at 20% methane exists yet. Effort was made on finalizing the pre- engineering scope definition of the Process Demonstration Unit. Natural gas purification, reactor, reactor effluent and MeCl purification, and anhydrous HCl recovery are discussed.

Methyl chloride via oxyhydrochlorination of methane

Description: Purpose of this contract is to develop a process for converting light alkane gases to methyl chloride via oxyhydrochlorination using highly selective, stable catalysts (Cu) in either fixed-bed or fluid-bed reactors. Catalyst development and micro-packed bed screening studies are underway. Engineering support for pre-design on the miniplant is struggling with the unit operations problem associated with separation of products from unreacted methane.

Methyl chloride via oxyhydrochlorination of methane. Quarterly technical progress report No. 5, October--December 1992

Description: Objective is to develop a process for converting light alkane gases to methyl chloride via oxyhydrochlorination using highly selective, stable catalysts (CuO based) in fixed-bed reactors designed to remove the large amount of heat generated, so as to control the reaction temperature. The proposed PFD for this unit was described to management, and the PDU PFD is currently being expanded into a P&ID with a subcontractor.

Methyl chloride via oxyhydrochlorination of methane. Quarterly technical progress report No. 12, July--September 1994

Description: Significant progress was made in six different technical areas during this quarter. These key highlights are: (1) Mixed LnCl{sub 3} solutions were successfully tested as substitutes for LaCl{sub 3} in preparing OHC catalysts. This will dramatically lower the price of the catalyst. (2) Six catalyst samples were received from UCI. Each was made via either incipient wetness or compounded extrudate techniques. Four of the catalysts have been screened. All seem adequate. (3) Contact has opened with … more
