METHOD OF CONVERSION OF METHANE BY THE PLASMA-CATALYTIC OXIDATION AND THE DEVICE FOR THE METHOD REALIZATION Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C10G15/12 C07C2/08 C07C2/84 H05H1/46 

FIELD: chemical industry; other industries; methods and devices for conversion of the methane by the plasma-catalytic oxidation.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to the method for conversion of the methane by the plasma-catalytic oxidation and to the and devices fro the method realization. The method of conversion of methane is conducted by the super high frequency (SHF)radiation plasma-catalytic oxidation with production of ethylene. The method includes activation of the catalyst by the SHF radiation and formation of the non-equilibrium "cold" SHF plasma. Simultaneously exercise activation of the catalyst by the super high frequency radiation and by the SHF plasma and create the non-equilibrium "cold" super high frequency plasma simultaneously in the Е₀₁₀ type resonator or on Е₀₁ with the symmetry of rotation from the SHF generator and on the total wave Н₁₁° with rotation of the polarization plane of the continuous SHF generator. In the device realizing the indicated process the round waveguide is smoothly transforms into the waveguide with the partial dielectric filling-up and contains the aligner used for reduction of the reflections of the super high frequency energy, the encapsulant for provision of vacuum in the SHF plasma-catalytic reactor and the SHF plasma generation on the butt of the quartz rod, with the located on it quartz plates and the catalyst. The batchers of the uniform feeding of the reactants (СН₄ + О₂ + Аг) are installed with the capability of rotation and movement with respect to the SHF plasma. The system of the reaction products withdrawal is located in symmetry to the axis of the with respect to the plasmatron. The invention stimulates the increase of efficiency of the conversion process of methane into ethylene.

EFFECT: the invention ensures stimulation of the increased efficiency of the conversion process of methane into ethylene.
