Abstract

Several catalysts have been investigated for the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butane to preferably butenes. In such catalytic systems, despite high dehydrogenation activity, selectivity with respect to butadiene is very low. A review covers nano-porous catalyst based on pore structure of support; reaction chemistry and technology for catalyst design of butane-to-butadiene; activity and selectivity depending on nickel oxide loading to nano-porous alumina; activity and selectivity improvement with bismuth oxide cohabiting to nickel oxide/nano-porous alumina; hierarchical metal oxide nano-consortium catalyst; and confirmation for catalyst design based on reaction chemistry. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 25th Annual Saudi-Japan Symposium on Catalysts in Petroleum Refining and Petrochemicals 2015 (Dhahran, Saudi Arabia 12/7-8/2015).
