Abstract
Gas phase methane chlorination in the presence of fibreglass catalysts has been investigated. It has been demonstrated that increasing the acidity of the glass fibres leads to an increase in the selectivity of the formation of methyl chloride. Unlike zeolite catalysts, the fibreglass catalysts are stable and do not get deactivated during several dozens of hours.
