Abstract
The catalytic performances and properties of SrFeO3-0.190 and SrFeO3-0.382Cl0.443 catalysts have been investigated for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (ODE). XRD results showed that both catalysts exhibited oxygen-deficient perovskite-type structures. The inclusion of chloride ions in the SrFeO3-δlattice matrix can significantly enhance ethene selectivity and ethane conversion. The SrFeO3-0.382Cl0.443 catalyst showed an ethane conversion of ca. 90%, an ethene selectivity of ca. 70%, and an ethene yield of ca. 63% under the reaction conditions: C2H6:O2:N2 = 2:1:3.7, temperature 680°C, and space velocity 6000 ml h-1 g-1. With the increase of space velocity, ethane conversion decreased, whereas ethene selectivity increased over SrFeO3-0.382Cl0.443. Lifetime studies showed that the perovskite-type chloro-oxide catalyst was durable. The results of O2-TPD and TPR experiments illustrated that the implanted chloride ions caused the oxygen nature of SrFeO3-δ to change. By regulating the concentration of oxygen vacancies and the Fe4+/Fe ratio in this perovskite-type chloro-oxide catalyst, one can generate a durable chloro-oxide catalyst for the ODE reaction with excellent performance.
