Abstract

The oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene on various oxide catalysts has been investigated. The catalysts examined are classified into six types, considering their catalytic behavior. In general, acidic catalysts show high selectivity. The most effective catalyst has been found to be the SnO 2-P 2O 5 catalyst prepared from Sn(OH) 2 and phosphoric acid. The effects of partial pressures and reaction temperature have been studied and suitable reaction conditions for the SnO 2-P 2O 5 catalyst have been determined.
