Abstract
A method of autothermal oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) utilizes introducing a methane-containing feedstock and an oxygen-gas-containing feedstock into a reactor () as a flowing mixture () with a space time of 500 ms or less. The reactor () contains a catalyst bed () of an OCM catalyst that contacts the flowing mixture and wherein the catalyst bed () has a heat Peclet number (Pe) of from 5 or less, a mass Peclet number (Pe) of from 5 or more, and a transverse Peclet number (P) of from 1 or less while contacting the flowing mixture. The methane and oxygen of the feedstocks are allowed to react within the reactor () to form methane oxidative coupling reaction products. A reactor () for carrying out the OCM reaction is also disclosed.
