Abstract

A catalyst used in the reaction of oxidative bromination of methane is provided. The catalyst is prepared by the following procedures: mixing at least one of the precursors selected from the compounds of Rh, Ru, Cu, Zn, Ag, Ce, V, W, Cd, Mo, Mn, Cr and La which can dissolve in water with the Si precursor, hydrolyzing, drying and sintering. In the catalysis system, methane reacts with HBr, H 2 O and oxygen source (O 2 , air or oxygen-rich air), finally CH 3 Br and CH 2 Br 2 are produced. Another catalyst used in the reaction of condensation of methane bromide to C 3 -C 13 hydrocarbons is also provided. This catalyst is prepared by supporting compounds of Zn or Mg on molecular sieves such as HZSM-5, HY, Hb, 3A, 4A, 5A or 13X et al. With this catalyst, CH 3 Br and CH 2 Br 2 produced in the former process can react further to give C 3 to C 13 hydrocarbons and HBr, and HBr can be recycled as a medium.
