Propylene from methane: The transformation of methane to propylene has been realized in a two-step route via CH(3) Cl or CH(3) Br. CeO(2) serves as an efficient and stable catalyst for the oxidative chlorination and bromination of methane to CH(3) Cl and CH(3) Br. In the second step, a modified zeolite is highly a selective and stable catalyst for the conversion of CH(3) Cl or CH(3) Br into propylene.
