METHOD FOR OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION OF HYDROCARBON COMPOUNDS

摘要

METHOD FOR OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION OF HYDROCARBON COMPOUNDS A method of oxidative dehydrogenation of hydrocarbon compounds. Hydrocarbon compounds such as alkylated aromatics, alkanes, alkenes, and oxygenates such as alcohols are contacted with oxygen in the presence of oxidative dehydrogenation catalyst. The catalyst exhibits good selectivity to desired products and has sufficient activity to maintain low reaction temperatures. Further, catalysts doped with a redox-active transition metal moiety exhibit increased activity and selectivity.
