  • Patent number: 10987655
    Abstract: A molybdenum-vanadium bimetal oxide catalyst having a molecular formula of Mo1Vy, where y represents an atomic molar ratio of vanadium and molybdenum. An oxygen support Mo1Vy is prepared by an impregnation method including impregnation, drying, calcination, and tablet pressing. In the dehydrogenation reaction of a light alkane to an alkene over the supported molybdenum-vanadium bimetal oxide, the reaction temperature is 450° C.-550° C. Propane can be oxidized and dehydrogenated to produce propylene with a high activity and high selectivity. A conversion rate of propane remains at 30%-40%, and a selectivity for propylene is 80%-90%. A fresh oxygen support changes from a high-valence state to a low-valence state after reacting with propane. A low-valence state oxygen support reacts with air or oxygen to be oxidized to a high-valence state, and recovers lattice oxygen and cycles again.
