METHOD FOR OXIDATIVE HALOGENATION OF C-HYDROCARBONS TO HALOGENATED C-HYDROCARBONS AND INTEGRATED METHODS ASSOCIATED WITH THEREOF Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC C07C17/154 C07C17/10 C07C19/03 B01J23/10 

FIELD: organic chemistry, chemical technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to processes for the oxidative halogenation reaction of hydrocarbons, in particular, for synthesis of haloidmethanes, their following processing to value chemical compounds. Method involves contacting methane, halogenated methane or their mixture with halogen source and oxygen source in the presence of catalyst to yield halogenated C₁-hydrocarbon having more amount of halogen substitutes as compared with the parent hydrocarbon, Process is carried out at temperature above 200°C but less 600°C and under pressure 97 kPa or above but less 1.034 kPa and at the volume rate of raw feeding above 0.1 h^-1 but less 100 h^-1. Catalyst comprises rare earth metal halide or oxyhalide no containing iron and copper. The atomic ratio of rare-earth element to iron or copper exceeds 10:1 under condition that if catalyst comprises cerium in the amount less 10 atomic percent of the total amount of rare-earth components then catalyst comprises also one additional rare-earth element. Reacting hydrocarbon is chosen from the group consisting of methane, chloromethane, bromomethane, iodomethane, dichloromethane, dibromomethane, diiodomethane, chlorobromomethane and their mixtures. The molar ratio of hydrocarbon to halogen is above 1;1 but less 20:1 and that to oxygen is above 2:1 but less 20:1. The reaction mixture comprises additionally a diluting agent as nitrogen, helium, argon, carbon monoxide or dioxide or their mixtures. Formed methyl chloride or methyl bromide can be fed to the hydrolysis step to yield methyl alcohol or used in process of catalytic condensation to form light olefins and/or gasolines. It is possible contacting methyl halide with the condensation catalyst to form ethylene and the following preparing vinyl halide monomer, for example, vinyl chloride or acetic acid under carbonylation conditions. Invention provides enhancing output of the process at the expense of using the effective modified catalyst based on rare-earth elements.

EFFECT: improved halogenation method.
