PROCESS FOR OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION OF PARAFFINIC LOWER HYDROCARBONS

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for producing lower olefinic hydrocarbons by oxidative dehydrogenation of paraffinic lower hydrocarbons. More particularly the present invention provides a process for converting a feedstream comprising a paraffinic lower hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide to a product stream comprising an olefinic lower hydrocarbon and synthesis gas in the presence of the catalyst composition La-Mn/inert support, wherein said catalyst composition comprises 1-10 mass% lanthanum and 1-10 mass% manganese and optionally 0.3-3 mass% alkali metal.
