Abstract
Provided in this disclosure is a process for the oxidative dehydrogenation of a lower alkane into a corresponding alkene. The process includes providing a gas stream comprising the lower alkane to a reactor; contacting, in the oxidative dehydrogenation reactor, the lower alkane with a catalyst that includes a mixed metal oxide; and providing to the last 50% of the oxidative dehydrogenation reactor a stream comprising from 0.01 vol. % to 10 vol. % of a C1-C3 alcohol.
Claims13
A process for the oxidative dehydrogenation of a lower alkane into a corresponding alkene, the process comprising:
- providing a gas stream comprising the lower alkane and oxygen to an oxidative dehydrogenation reactor;
- contacting, in the oxidative dehydrogenation reactor, the lower alkane with an oxidative dehydrogenation catalyst comprising a mixed metal oxide;
- providing a stream comprising from 0.01 vol. % to 10 vol. % of a C1-C3 alcohol to the oxidative dehydrogenation reactor within the last 50% of the total reaction zone in the oxidative dehydrogenation reactor;
- and obtaining an effluent comprising the corresponding alkene.
