Abstract:

The catalytic behavior of alumina-supported NiO catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (ODHE) has been investigated in the temperature range of 400 500℃ A much better improvement of selectivity towards ethylene can be observed, i e. the selectivity of 82%~92% for ethylene can be maintained. The optimum yield of ethylene of 25.3% is obtained over 17% NiO/γ-Al2O3 at 500℃. It is suggested that the NiO of non MSSI(Metal-support strong interaction)is the active phase and the nonstoichiometric oxygen in NiO lattice is the active oxygen species for ODHE. Comparing the O2-TPD spectra of NiO with NiO/γ-Al2O3, the high selectivity for ethylene over the alumina-supported NiO catalysts can be explained.
