چکیده

Inspired by previous studies on model systems, a series of silica-supported Au–Ni catalysts were prepared and tested for the conversion of propane in the presence of hydrogen. The Au–Ni/SiO2 catalysts were prepared by successive impregnation, i.e. Ni was deposited first followed by Au. TEM/EDX results confirmed the presence of bimetallic Au–Ni nanoparticles. The dehydrogenation of propane to propylene was observed on the Au–Ni bimetallic catalysts, whereas only hydrogenolysis products were observed on the monometallic Ni catalyst. The selectivity to propylene was found to increase monotonically with the Au loading. The results are in good agreement with the results on model catalysts.

Dehydrogenation of Propane to Propylene over Supported Model Ni–Au Catalysts

Hydrogenolysis and dehydrogenation of propane were studied over model nickel–gold catalysts. The supported model Ni–Au catalysts were prepared by depositing Ni and Au onto a planar silica film. Infrared reflection absorption spectroscopic data showed that isolated Ni sites appeared and became dominant on the surface with the addition of Au to Ni. For the conversion of propane in the presence of...

Operating condition effect on achieving higher propene yield in propane oxidative dehydrogenation process

Supported vanadia catalyst was successfully synthesized using wet impregnation of gamma-Alumina to study Propane Oxidative Dehydrogenation (POD). The prepared catalysts were characterized with XRD, BET, and TPR tests. In a broad temperature range (340 to 630°C), effects of vanadia loading (2.7, 5.4, and 9 wt%) and propane to oxygen ratio (3/1 to 1/3) were investigated on propane conversion as w...
