Oxidative dyhydrogenation of short chain alkanes on supported vanadium oxide catalysts

Catalysis Research of Relevance to Carbon Management: Progress, Challenges, and Opportunities

“…For supported metal oxides, it has been observed empirically that the decline in olefin selectivity with increasing alkane conversion decreases with increasing basicity of the support. 77 While a large body of literature exists on the ODH of alkanes, current understanding of the elementary processes involved in both the formation of alkenes and their subsequent combustion is limited. In particular, there is a lack of understanding concerning the relationships of catalyst composition and structure to catalyst activity and selectivity.…”

Anomalous reactivity of supported V2O5 nanoparticles for propane oxidative dehydrogenation: influence of the vanadium oxide precursor

“…1 Despite some difficulties in developing commercial processes, oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane is seen as a promising alternative to meet the current propylene demand, with vanadium-based catalysts shown to have the best yield for ODH. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] The nature of supported VO x phases on oxide supports has received much attention in recent years. 5,13 Below monolayer coverage on oxide supports (<8 V nm −2 ), the supported VO x phase is generally present as isolated VO 4 and/or oligomer surface species.…”

Promoted NiO Catalysts for the Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Ethane

“…For many years the typical catalysts for the ODHE reported in the literature consisted of vanadium oxide supported on different metal oxides [6,7] and recently unconventional materials such as nanocatalysts [8,9], catalysts derived from heteropolyacids [10] and carbon nanotubes [11] have demonstrated to be efficient in this reaction but their catalytic performance is still far from the best catalytic systems, which are NiO-based catalysts [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] and MoVNb-mixed metal oxide materials [23][24][25][26].…”
