N2 - Most commercial dehydrogenation units use the Oleflex or the Catofin technology that utilizes noble metal catalysts such as Pt/ Al2O3, Pt/Sn/ Al2O3 or noble metal-free catalysts such as Cr/ Al2O3, respectively. In addition to the above Pt and Cr-based catalytic systems, zeolite-based catalysts (modified and impregnated ZSM-5, MCM-41, SAPO, mordenite, etc), gallium oxides, and catalytic membrane reactors were investigated. The activity of binary metal oxides based MCM-41 and Ni/alumina catalyst was examined for oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butane to 1,3-butadiene using CO2 and molecular oxygen as an oxidant. The better performance of catalysts can be explained by changes in the nature of the surface sites. A synergetic effect can be attributed to a combined effect of metal oxide exposure, redox and acid-base properties. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 23rd Annual Saudi-Japan Symposium on Catalysts in Petroleum Refining and Petrochemicals 2013 (Dhahran, Saudi Arabia 12/2-3/2013).
