Further, the adsorbed C2H5* species are desorbed from Coδ+ species to form C2H4 product by leasing one H atom that can combine the adsorbed H* to form H2. Because of the charge heterogeneity of –Coδ+–Oδ-–, the same chemical state of -C-C- might lead to a difficult adsorption...
Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (ODH-E) over M1-type MoV(Te,Nb)-mixed metal oxides has emerged as one of the most promising routes to on-purpose conversion of widely available, but locally dispersed ethane from shale gas resources1,2. Such conversion processes must combine single pass ethen...
However, catalytic ethane dehydrogenation using oxygen or carbon dioxide has been proposed as a good alternative to the thermal cracking process [9,10,11,12]. Nevertheless, the flammability of reactants mixture, exothermic nature of the reaction and over-oxidation of ethylene represent the obstacles...
As a matter of fact, ethane is the second most abundant component in shale gas and natural gas. There are several ways to convert ethane to ethylene: (1) non-oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene, (2) direct dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene with hydrogen combustion, and (3) ...
