Abstract
A commercial heterogeneous Ni–Mo/Al2O3 catalyst was tested for the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) reaction of n-butane with different oxidant species: O2, CO2 and N2O.
Highlights
One of the main tasks of the chemical industry today is the production of large amounts of organic compounds.[1]
Selectivity towards BD was low, while the amount of CO2 formed increases with temperature, which may be due to the increase of coke deposition at lower oxygen-to-butane molar ratios.[2]
At lower oxygento-butane molar ratios, more oxygen is used to burn the coke deposited on the catalyst surface, leaving no oxygen available for oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH)
Summary
One of the main tasks of the chemical industry today is the production of large amounts of organic compounds.[1]. NiMoO4 shows potential for ODH of lighter paraffins, ethane, propane and n-butane.[8,14]
