Abstract:
A method of converting methane to an oxygenate. The method includes converting methane to an oxygenate with a transition metal ion loaded zeolite catalyst in an aqueous medium in the presence of gaseous O 2  and CO at a temperature lower than 200° C. Also disclosed are a two-metal ion zeolite catalyst for converting methane to methanol and a method for preparing the two-metal ion zeolite catalyst.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of converting methane to an oxygenate, the method comprising:\n providing a transition metal ion loaded zeolite catalyst, converting methane to an oxygenate with the transition metal ion loaded zeolite catalyst in an aqueous medium in the presence of gaseous O 2  and CO at a temperature lower than 200\u00b0 C., and collecting the oxygenate thus formed,\n wherein the transition metal ion loaded zeolite catalyst is a rhodium zeolite catalyst, a copper zeolite catalyst, an iron zeolite catalyst, a nickel zeolite catalyst, an iridium zeolite catalyst, or a combination thereof; and the oxygenate, in liquid form, contains both methanol and acetic acid, in which the content of the methanol, the acetic acid, or both the methanol and the acetic acid combined is greater than 50 mol %.
