The invention relates to a process for producing ethane comprising contacting methane with a metal catalyst selected from metal hydrides, organometallic compounds, organometallic hydrides and metal clusters, in a reaction zone and forming a reaction mixture comprising ethane and hydrogen, the reaction zone comprising a membrane reactor equipped with a selective hydrogen-permeable membrane. It also relates to the use of such a membrane reactor for activating the metal catalyst to reach its maximum activity during the initial reaction phase in the process for converting methane into ethane. The membrane can be selected from microporous inorganic membranes and dense inorganic membranes preferably chosen from metallic, ceramic or cermet (ceramic-metal) membranes, preferably from palladium and/or palladium alloy membranes and from proton-conducting ceramic membranes. One of the main advantages of the process relates to the methane conversion rate which very quickly reaches an extremely high maximum during the initial reaction phase of the conversion, so that the global methane conversion rate is very high, while maintaining a very high selectivity for ethane.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing 2,3-dimethylbutane which comprises contacting in a reaction zone isobutane with a supported catalyst comprising a tungsten hydride and a support comprising an aluminium oxide, so as to form a reaction mixture comprising 2,3-dimethylbutane. The contacting essentially leads to performing a metathesis reaction of the isobutane, with a very high specificity in the formation of 2,3- dimethylbutane. The catalyst is preferably a tungsten hydride grafted onto a support based on aluminium oxide. The support can be chosen from aluminium oxides, mixed aluminium oxides and modified aluminium oxides. The reaction mixture can be isolated and preferably subjected to one or more fractionating operations in order to recover 2,3- dimethylbutane and optionally one or more other components of the reaction mixture, such as C5+ alkanes. The process can comprise isolating from the reaction mixture the C5+ alkanes including 2,3-dimethylbutane as a single component, which can be blended with gasoline to enhance the gasoline octane number, or be used as a gasoline blendstock. At least one separated fraction containing 2,3-dimethylbutane can be isolated from the single component, which can be blended with gasoline to enhance the gasoline octane number, or be used as a gasoline blendstock.
