METHOD FOR OXIDATIVELY CONVERTING GASEOUS ALKANES IN A FLUIDIZED BED MEMBRANE REACTOR AND A REACTOR FOR PERFORMING SAID METHOD

The present invention relates to a method for oxidatively converting at least one gaseous alkane, preferably a C1-C4 alkane, especially preferably methane, in at least one fluidized bed membrane reactor, which comprises at least one first inlet line (1), at least one second inlet line (3), which is present at least in some sections within the reactor in the form of a membrane (5) having at least one active membrane surface, and at least one catalyst bed (4). According to the invention, the method comprises the steps of introducing at least one first flow (1a) containing the at least one gaseous alkane into the at least one catalyst bed in the reactor by means of the at least one first inlet line (1), and introducing at least one second flow (2) containing oxygen or a gas containing oxygen into the reactor by means of the at least one second inlet line (3), wherein the second flow is introduced into the at least one catalyst bed (4) of the reactor by means of the at least one active membrane surface. The application further relates to a reactor for performing said method.
