ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates generally to the conversion of a lower molecular weight alkane to more valuable, heavier hydrocarbons, and more particularly concerns an aforesaid process which comprises the oxidative coupling of the alkane. The specification discloses a method for converting at least one feedstock alkane containing from l to 3 carbon atoms to more valuable, higher molecular weight hydrocarbons, comprising: (a) contacting the feed- stock alkane containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms with an oxygen-containing gas in a reactor in the presence of an oxidative coupling catalyst at a temperature in the range of from about 600°C. to about 1000°C., to thereby produce a gaseous mixture comprising any remaining unreacted feed- stock alkane and oxygen and saturated and unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon products having higher molecular weights than the feedstock alkane from which they were formed; and (b) contacting the resulting gaseous mixture with an oligomeri- zation catalyst under aromatization conditions to thereby produce a gaseous mixture comprising any remaining unreacted feedstock alkane and oxygen and an aromatic product and a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon product having a higher molecular weight than the feedstock alkane from which it was produced.
