  • MESOPOROUS SILICA SUPPORTED CATALYST FOR OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION
    Publication number: 20200188888
    Abstract: Oxidative dehydrogenation catalysts comprising bismuth and nickel oxides impregnated on mesoporous silica supports such as SBA-15 and mesoporous silica foam. Methods of preparing and characterizing the catalysts as well as processes for oxidatively dehydrogenating n-butane to butadiene using the catalysts are also described. The disclosed catalysts demonstrate higher n-butane conversion and butadiene selectivity than catalysts supported by conventional silica.
