Abstract:
Methods and catalysts for producing ethylene and methanol from natural gas are presented. Methods include integration of oxidative conversion of methane to ethane, ethane in situ thermal cracking using the thermal heat generated thereby and direct hydrogenation of byproducts to methanol or oxidative CO 2  autothermal reforming of methane to syngas.

Claim (Index 17):
A process for preparing ethylene from natural gas, the process comprising the steps of:\n (a) combining methane and oxygen gas in a reactor zone to undergo oxidative conversion to form produced ethylene, carbon dioxide, water, and heat; (b) providing ethane to a post-reactor zone; (c) cracking the ethane using the heat produced by the oxidative conversion to form ethylene; and (d) contacting the produced carbon dioxide with a catalyst to generate syngas.
