Combined Oxidative and Non-oxidative Dehydrogenation of n-Butane Over VOX Species Supported on HMS

Abstract

The combination of oxidative and non-oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butane as an attractive possibility for production of C-4 olefins was studied over VOX based catalyst. Long-term activity and selectivity to desired products could be achieved over the catalysts with well dispersed monomeric vanadium oxide species supported on mesoporous silica support.
