Abstract
Conventional mixed metal oxide catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP) often face challenges in balancing propane conversion and olefin selectivity. In contrast, boron-containing catalysts can achieve higher selectivity for olefins. In this study, B2O3/SiO2-TiO2 catalysts were prepared via mechanical mixing and calcination, demonstrating high activity in ODHP with propylene and ethylene as primary products. At 620 °C, propane conversion reached 60.8 %, with total olefin selectivity of 70.2 %. Unlike h-BN or BOx/carrier catalysts, B2O3 was directly used as both feedstock and active component, eliminating the need for an induction period. The mixed SiO2-TiO2 carrier anchored boron species on the TiO2 surface, reducing boron loss and enhancing stability compared to pure SiO2-supported catalysts. These results highlight the potential of B2O3/SiO2-TiO2 for efficient propane oxidative dehydrogenation to olefins.
期刊介绍:
Applied Catalysis A: General publishes original papers on all aspects of catalysis of basic and practical interest to chemical scientists in both industrial and academic fields, with an emphasis onnew understanding of catalysts and catalytic reactions, new catalytic materials, new techniques, and new processes, especially those that have potential practical implications.
Papers that report results of a thorough study or optimization of systems or processes that are well understood, widely studied, or minor variations of known ones are discouraged. Authors should include statements in a separate section "Justification for Publication" of how the manuscript fits the scope of the journal in the cover letter to the editors. Submissions without such justification will be rejected without review.
