Abstract

The invention relates to a reactor for the conversion of methane to higher molecular weight hydrocarbons comprising an annular reaction zone with ceramic baffles positioned therein perpendicular to the flow of the mixture of gas and fluidized solid catalyst, the baffles having openings adapted to permit passage of the gas-solid mixture therethrough essentially only in the overall direction of flow from inlet to outlet.
