Zusammenfassung:Case 7068(2) CHEMICAL PROCESS AND CATALYST TO BE USED THEREIN A process for the preparation of a cogel catalyst comprises preparing an aqueous solution containing a soluble compound of an alkali or alkaline earth metal, a soluble metal compound which is thermally decomposable to a metal oxide capable of converting methane to higher hydrocarbons and a hydrolysable silane under such conditions that a homogenous cogel is formed. The cogel catalyst is effective for oxidising methane to higher hydrocarbons and exhibits greater selectivity and lasts longer than conventional prior art catalysts. A process for using the cogel catalyst to effect oxidation of methane is also described.
