Oxidative dehydrogenation and cracking of ethane and propane over LiDyMg mixed oxides

The oxidative dehydrogenation and cracking of ethane and propane over LiDyMg mixed oxides is reported. High yields of olefins and only moderate formation of carbon oxides was observed. Both are primary products that hardly interconvert under the reaction conditions used. Addition of chloride increases the rate of reaction, while slightly decreasing the selectivity to olefins. The addition of carbon dioxide strongly decreases the rate of reaction, the negative order of 0.5 indicating that two active Li⁺sites are blocked by the adsorption of one CO₂molecule. The reaction proceeds at low oxygen pressure primarily via elimination of dihydrogen, while at higher oxygen partial pressure the hydrogen elimination occurs via water formation. It is speculated that dehydrogenation and cracking involve Li⁺and a rather nucleophilic oxygen site.

Oxidative coupling of methane and oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over strontium-promoted rare earth oxide catalysts

Sr-promoted rare earth (viz. La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Er and Yb) oxide catalysts (Sr/rare earth ratio = 0·1) are compared for their performance in the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) to C₂ hydrocarbons and oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (ODE) to ethylene at different temperatures (700 and 800°C) and CH₄ (or C₂H₆)/O₂ ratios (4–8), at low contact time (space velocity = 102000 cm³ g⁻¹ h⁻¹). For the OCM process, the Sr–La₂O₃ catalyst shows the best performance. The Sr-promoted Nd₂O₃, Sm₂O₃, Eu₂O₃ and Er₂O₃ catalysts also show good methane conversion and selectivity for C₂ hydrocarbons but the Sr–CeO₂ and Sr–Dy₂O₃ catalysts show very poor performance. However, for the ODE process, the best performance is shown by the Sr–Nd₂O₃ catalyst. The other catalysts also show good ethane conversion and selectivity for ethylene; their performance is comparable at higher temperatures (≥800°C), but at lower temperature (700°C) the Sr–CeO₂ and Sr–Pr₆O₁₁ catalysts show poor selectivity. © 1998 SCI.     

Oxidative dehydrogenation of propane over magnesium molybdate catalysts

Catalytic activities of magnesium molybdates were investigated for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane with and without molecular oxygen under atmospheric pressure. Catalytic properties drastically changed with the catalyst composition, and it turned out that Mg_0.95MoO_x catalysts having slight excess molybdenum showed the highest activity in the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane, which gave 61% selectivity to propene at 22% conversion of propane at 515°C. The catalytic activities strongly depended on the acidic properties of the catalysts. It was also revealed that the lattice oxide ions of the catalysts participated as an active oxygen in the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane.     

Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over some titanates based perovskite oxides

A series of perovskite catalysts have been tested for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane. The composition of these catalysts covered CaTi_1–x Fe _x O_3–, with 0 x 0.4, SrTi_1–x Fe _x O_3–, with 0 x 1.0, as well as mixtures of these. The latter catalysts containing more basic Sr metal showed higher selectivity to ethene than the former catalysts containing Ca. A few catalysts with Co on B-sites in the lattice were tested, but lost their stability above 923 K, resulting in a substantial change in the product selectivity. The perovskites gained activity when Fe was introduced in the lattice to form hypervalent ions (Fe⁴⁺) which are believed to play a role in the catalytic activity of these materials.     

The oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over alkali-doped lanthanum-calcium oxide catalysts

The oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane has been investigated over Li-, Na- and K-doped La/CaO catalysts at temperatures of 550–650°C. The addition of alkali metals to La/CaO increases the ethylene selectivity. For Li- and Na-doped La/CaO catalysts, the ethane conversion remains almost unaltered. The increase of ethylene selectivity over the two catalysts is believed to be mainly caused by coordinative action of lithium and lanthanum or sodium and lanthanum. However, the Li-doped La/CaO catalyst exhibits stronger coordinative action than the Na-doped La/CaO catalyst. Catalyst characterization reveals that the strong coordinative action of components in Li/La/CaO is probably related to the chemical and crystal structure of the catalyst which is favorable for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane. The results also show that addition of potassium, being a poor dopant, to La/CaO results in a sharp decrease in catalytic activity.     

Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over alkali‐metal doped sulfated zirconia catalysts

Alkali‐metal doped sulfated zirconia catalysts were tested for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane into ethene. The effects of metal precursor compounds and acidic anion promoters on the catalytic activity in this reaction were studied. It was found that sulfation of zirconia increases the selectivity of ethane towards ethene. Lithium‐, sodium‐, and potassium‐doped sulfated zirconia catalysts showed quite different activities in this reaction. Sulfated zirconia doped with lithium catalysts were found to be effective for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane, giving over 90% selectivity to ethene and 25% ethene yield at 650 °C. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry     

Selective oxidation of ethane and propane over sulfated zirconia‐supported nickel oxide catalysts

The oxidative dehydrogenations of ethane and propane were investigated over a series of zirconia and nickel‐oxide supported on zirconia catalysts. It was found that zirconia, sulfated zirconia as well as NiO‐based zirconia catalysts showed high catalytic activities for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane and propane. However, conversion and selectivity differed depending on the nature of the catalysts. Zirconia, sulfated zirconia (SZ) and their supported NiO catalysts showed high ethane conversions but lesser selectivities to olefins while NiO/Li₂ZrO₃ exhibited high selectivities to ethylene and propylene. Addition of an LiCl promoter in the NiO/SZ catalyst increased the catalytic activity and olefin selectivity, thus resulting in a higher olefin yield. In the oxidative dehydrogenations of ethane and propane NiO–LiCl/SZ exhibited 79% ethylene selectivity at 93% ethane conversion at 650 °C and 52% selectivity to propylene at 20% propane conversion at 600 °C, respectively. Characterization showed that the physico‐chemical properties of the catalysts determine the catalytic activity and selectivity. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry     

Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over Cr/TiO2 modified by phosphorus

A series of catalysts were prepared by loading titanium dioxide with chromium and different amounts of phosphorus. Investigation in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane showed that chromium notably increases the activity of TiO₂ principally toward the total oxidation of the hydrocarbon. Addition of phosphorus to the system simultaneously improved the global conversion and the ethylene selectivity. Moreover, a fairly good correlation between the catalysts acidity, the P/Cr ratios and the activity in the ODH reaction was established. It was also found that an excess of phosphorus, although it increases the acidity, decreases the conversion as if phosphorus effect was optimum for P/Cr ratios equal to 1.6. EPR and UV-visible characterizations of the samples before and after the catalytic tests showed that the improvement of the catalysts performances might be due to the isolated octahedral Cr³⁺ species that appear on the support. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

The selective oxidative dehydrogenation of propane on vanadium aluminophosphate catalysts

VAPO-5 and V/ ALPO-5 catalysts have been tested for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane. Depending on the vanadium contents and the preparation procedure, different vanadium species and different catalytic behavior are observed. The catalyst containing V⁵⁺ species with a tetrahedral coordination presents the higher yield of propene in the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane. The same yields of CO₂ are observed on all vanadium aluminophosphate catalysts, while the higher the yield of propene the lower the yield of CO is.

Study of Mn-based Catalysts for Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Cyclohexane to Cyclohexene

The gas-phase oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of cyclohexane to cyclohexene in the presence of molecular oxygen has been studied over various Mn-based catalysts. It is found that LiCl/MnO_x/PC (Portland cement) catalyst exhibits the highest catalytic performance, and a 42.8% cyclohexane conversion, 58.8% cyclohexene selectivity and 25.2% cyclohexene yield can be achieved under 600 °C, 20,000 h⁻¹ and C₆H₁₂/O₂/N₂=14/7/79. There are good correlations between the selectivities to cyclohexene and the electrical conductivities of Li doped Mn-based catalysts, from which it is deduced that the non-fully reduced oxygen species (O₂⁻, O₂²⁻, O⁻) involved in a new phase of LiMn₂O₄ might be responsible for the high selectivity toward cyclohexene, whereas the Mn₂O₃ crystal phase results in the CO_x formation. The selectivity to cyclohexene increases with increasing molar ratio of Li to Mn in LiCl/MnO_x/PC.     

Oxidative dehydrogenation of propane over fluorine promoted rare earth-based catalysts

Catalysts based on rare earth complexes such as CeO₂/2CeF₃, Sm₂O₃/4CeF₃, Nd₂O₃/ 4CeF₃ and Y₂O₃/4CeF₃ were prepared. These catalysts were active for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane with very high selectivity to propene. At 500°C and 6000 h^–1, using CeO₂/2CeF₃ as the catalyst, the conversion of propane was 41.3%, selectivity to propene reached 81.1%, propene yield was 33.5%. XRD results indicated that F^– and O^2– were exchanged in the lattices. Raman spectra showed that the O ₂ ^– might be the active oxygen species in propane oxidative dehydrogenation.

In the comparison, cluster-derived catalysts showed good propane conversion, optimal selectivity to propene and high stability under the severe reaction conditions.

The oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over sulfated-zirconia-supported lithium chloride catalysts has been systematically investigated. The optimal experimental parameters were obtained. It is found that sulfation of zirconia increases the catalytic activity. 2–3.5 wt% lithium chloride on sulfated zirconia catalysts exhibit high catalytic activity for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane, with particularly high activity for ethene production. 70% selectivity to ethene at 98% ethane conversion, giving 68% ethene yield, is achieved over 3.5 wt% LiCl/SZ at 650°C.     

Oxidative dehydrogenation of isobutane over magnesium molybdate catalysts

A series of Mo-Mg-O catalysts with different crystalline phases (pure and mixtures) have been studied in the oxidative dehydrogenation of isobutane. X-ray diffraction, UV–Vis spectroscopy and temperature programmed reduction were applied to characterise the samples. In addition, the kinetics of the lattice oxygen exchange with labelled C¹⁸O₂ was measured for all samples. It has been found that the MgMoO₄ phase contains the surface active sites suitable for the adsorption of isobutane and for its dehydrogenation to isobutene with the minimum of cracking reaction. Moreover, for this reaction the migration of lattice oxygen ions is not a key parameter in the control of the catalytic properties of these materials.
