Abstract

Features of physicochemical processing of the natural gas of Eastern Siberia for the purpose of obtaining valuable products are considered. Special attention is paid to the processes based on the microspherical components of energy ash: non-cryogenic process of helium isolation using cenospheres, and the process of oxidative dimerization of methane (ODM) into ethane and ethylene in the presence of ferrospheres. A scheme of natural gas processing taking into account the features of composition and involving the stages of ODM is proposed.
