Oxidative dimerization of methane is one of the promising methods for synthesizing products of the petrochemical industry from natural gas, the main alternative to hydrocarbon raw materials. Currently, the demand for petrochemical products is increasing worldwide. The main demand is strong against vinyl chloride, polyethene, ethylene oxide, vinyl acetate, lavsan, etc. The main raw material for all the above-mentioned substances is ethylene. Currently, ethylene is mainly produced by the thermal decomposition of gasoline. The dynamic growth of demand for motor fuels is pushing to find another innovative way to obtain the main organic synthesis product. One such innovative method is the catalytic dimerization of methane to ethylene.
