Abstract
A method comprising reacting an alkane gas with a halogen gas in a halogenations reactor to form a halogenation reaction product mixture comprising alkane halide and hydrogen halide mixture; mixing the halogenations reaction product mixture with a countercurrent flow of a metal organic salt thereby forming an extractor product mixture of a metal halide, organic salt, and organic acid separating the organic ester and organic acid mixture from the metal halide; oxygenating the metal halide to form a metal oxide and halide containing gasses; separating the metal oxide from the halide containing gasses; mixing the metal oxide with water to form a metal oxide slurry; mixing the metal oxide slurry with a countercurrent flow of the organic ester and organic acid mixture to form a raw product comprising alkanol, a metal organic salt is provided.
