10516 LOW TEMPERATURE OXYDEHYDROGENATION OF ETHANE TO ETHYLENE Ethane is catalytically oxydehydrogenated to ethylene in a gas phase reaction, in the presence or absence of water, at temperatures of ?C 550.degree.C. using a catalyst comprising oxides of the elements MoaXbYc ) wherein X = Cr, Mn, Nb, Ta, Ti, V and/or W, Y = Bi, Ce, Co, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Ni, P, Pb, Sb, Si, Sn, Tl and/or U, . a = 1, b - 0 to 2, c = 0 to 2, with the proviso that the total value of c for Co, Ni and and/or Fe is < 0.5. Acetic acid is also produced. S P E C I F I C A T I O N 1. |
