Abstract
A catalyst for converting methane to aromatic hydrocarbons is described herein. The catalyst comprises an active metal or a compound thereof, and an inorganic oxide support wherein the active metal is added to the support in the form of metal oxalate. The metal oxalate-derived catalyst exhibits superior performance in the conversion of methane-rich feed to aromatics products relative to catalysts prepared from non-oxalate metal precursors. A method of making the catalyst and a method of using the catalyst are also described.
