Abstract
At temperatures near 650 degrees C and residence times of ca. 3 s, the homogeneous oxidative dehydrogenation (OXD) of propane to propylene a nd ethylene approached oxygen limiting conditions, even when the react or was filled with quartz chips. The addition of catalysts that are kn own to be effective in the OXD of ethane slightly increased the reacti on rate, but the selectivities at a given conversion level were the sa me as those that were achieved in the homogeneous reaction.
