R. Delrosso et al., OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION OF PROPANE BY CONTINUOUS AND PERIODIC OPERATING FLOW REACTOR WITH A NICKEL MOLYBDATE CATALYST, Journal of molecular catalysis. A, Chemical, 135(2), 1998, pp. 181-186
Oxidative dehydrogenation of propane with nickel molybdate catalysts (
alpha NiMoO4) has been investigated in flow reactors feeding the react
ant gases continuously and periodically. The data obtained by the cont
inuous operating system (COS) showed the determining role of lattice o
xygen on the selectivity. Moreover, when only the lattice oxygen was c
onsumed, very high propene selectivity was obtained. (C) 1998 Elsevier
