Abstract

Molybdenum and tungsten oxides, which were supported on silica, MCM-22, MCM-41, and SBA-15 were studied in transformation of 2-pentene at different reaction temperatures. MoO3/MCM-22 exhibited highest conversions with isomerization and cracking as major reactions. MoO2(acac)2, MoO3 and WO3 supported on MCM-41 and SBA-15 showed metathesis reaction of 2-C5= producing propylene, C4= and C6+= as major products. Catalysts based on MCM-41 exhibited higher activity and stability than SBA-15. Addition of ethylene to 2-C5= increased selectivity to propylene due to metathesis of ethylene with 2-pentene.
