Abstract: The invention relates to a composition containing a catalyst suitable for producing ethylene and other C2+ hydrocarbons at high selectivity while improving both methane conversion and product yield. Particularly, the catalyst contains mixed metal oxides having at least one alkali earth metal and at least one rare earth metal along with an alkali metal promoter in the form of an alkali metal or in the form of an alkali metal tungstate. The invention further provides a method for preparing such a composition, using a calcination process to calcine the alkali metal promoters together with mixed metal oxides. Additionally, the invention further describes a process for producing C2+ hydrocarbons, using such a composition.

Abstract: A catalyst composition, suitable for producing ethylene and other C2+ hydrocarbons, from methane. The composition comprises a blended product of two distinct catalyst components, blended at such synergistic proportions that results in a catalyst having high ethylene selectivity while maintaining low ethyne selectivity and sufficient catalytic activity rate. The invention further provides a method for preparing such a catalyst composition and a process for producing ethylene and other C2+ hydrocarbons, using such a catalyst composition.

Abstract: The invention relates to a catalyst composition, suitable for producing ethylene and other commercially high value C2+ hydrocarbons from methane. The composition contains a silver promoted mixed metal catalyst composition comprising at least two rare earth elements and an alkaline rare earth metal element. The catalyst composition has high catalyst activity and enables oxidative coupling of methane reactions to be conducted at a low reactor temperature while retaining sufficient catalyst selectivity. The invention further provides a method for preparing such a catalyst composition and a process for producing C2+ hydrocarbons, using such a catalyst composition.
