This goal of the present work is study highly industrially important reaction i) Oxy chlorination of methane (OCM) and ii) Ethane oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH). Oxy chlorination of methane is studied over four LaOCl precursor. Different analytical techniques including BET, XRD, SEM, TPD, Raman and IR spectroscopy, were used to characterize commercial samples. The temperature programmed chlorination experiments were carried out to study the conversion of the LaOCl precursor to the LaCl3 catalysts. Activities of the catalysts were determined using a plug flow reactor. Correlation between acid-base properties of precursor LaOCl and catalytic activity is studied. The role of functional groups and surface chemistry in relation to catalytic activity is also studied. The catalytic oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane was studied with alkali and alkaline earth metal chloride modified LiCl supported on Dy2O3/MgO (MD). We prepared a series of catalyst by adding alkali or alkaline earth metal chloride to the LiCl/Dy2O3/MgO catalyst. The prepared catalysts were thoroughly studied by using various physicochemical techniques. catalytic tests for the OHD of ethane were performed over these catalysts in order to establish structure- activity relations.
