METHOD FOR OXIDATIVELY DEHYDROGENATING HYDROCARBON

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for oxidatively dehydrogenating a hydrocarbon, by which the target substance can stably be produced in a high yield for a long period in the presence of a catalyst having a performance not affected by a reaction temperature and a reaction heat. SOLUTION: This method for oxidatively dehydrogenating the hydrocarbon is characterized by oxidatively dehydrogenating the hydrocarbon having a partial structure having at least one hydrogen atom on each of the adjacent carbon atoms in the presence of a catalyst prepared by carrying at least one component selected from calcium, nickel and phosphorus on a silica carrier having a surface area of 10 to 500 m2/g, a total pore volume of >=50% and an average pore diameter of 5 to 60 nm.
