Process for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane

摘要

A catalyst of the following formula NiaMoOx(I) in which: a is a number from 0.6 to 1.3, and x is a number determined by the valency requirements of nickel and of molybdenum. The manufacture of this catalyst comprises the preparation of a solvated precursor and the thermal decomposition of the solvated precursor over a period of from 1 to 4 hours and at a temperature T1 of from 520 DEG to 600 DEG C. The catalyst is utilized in the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane at a temperature of from 400 DEG to 700 DEG C.
