Abstract
A method of oxidative dehydrogenating a butane-containing hydrocarbon stream by contacting the same with a bimetallic catalyst in the presence of an oxidant, wherein the bimetallic catalyst comprises nickel and bismuth on a titanium carbide catalyst support. Various embodiments of the method of oxidative dehydrogenating the butane-containing hydrocarbon stream and the bimetallic catalyst are also provided.
Claims10
A method of dehydrogenating a butane-containing hydrocarbon stream, comprising:
- pretreating a bimetallic catalyst in a fixed bed reactor by heating to a temperature above 500° C. then cooling to a temperature of 400-450° C. then
- contacting the butane-containing hydrocarbon stream with the bimetallic catalyst in the presence of oxygen to form a product stream comprising a butene compound,
- wherein the bimetallic catalyst consists of nickel oxide and bismuth oxide on a titanium carbide catalyst support.
