Development of catalysts that could surpass the activity and selectivity constraints of the non-
catalytic radical-mediated halogenation of methane constitutes a long-standing challenge …

In this study, the development of kinetic rate equations for catalytic methane chlorination
over pellet-type catalysts was addressed. Experimental data at various temperatures, feed …

Methyl chloride is the starting raw material for chloromethanes and the demand for
chloromethane is increasing steadily in the world market. Continuous improvement in …

The chlorination of methane (CH4) is an attractive route to convert CH4 into more valuable
chemicals. The selective formation of methyl chloride (CH3Cl) is a key process, but it is …

The spontaneous homolytic Cl2 cleavage to two reactive chlorine radicals is useful for
activating the C–H bond in CH4 to produce various chlorinated products (CH3Cl, CH2Cl2 …

The conversion of chloromethane (CH 3 Cl) to olefin (CMTO) is an energy-efficient C 1-
molecular reaction that utilizes CH 3 Cl as a reactive C 1 resource to produce C 2–C 4 light …

CH 4 chlorination with Cl 2 gas is used for the production of chlorinated products via Csingle
bondH bond activation in CH 4. Due to the high reactivity of Cl 2, this reaction can occur …
