PURPOSE:To produce ethylene in a high yield and in a high selectivity by the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane at a low temperature. CONSTITUTION:The characteristic of this method for producing ethylene by bringing ethane into contact with a molecular oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst composition at a high temperature comprises that the catalyst composition contains a composite metal oxide containing molybdenum, vanadium, tellurium and oxygen as essential components and exhibiting a powder X-ray diffraction mainly having relative peak strengths shown in the table. |
