Praseodymium-containing catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of organic compounds

Аннотация

A method is developed for incorporating praseodymium into magnesium–aluminum hydrotalcites, which are precursors for oxide catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of alkanes. Oxide catalyst samples that contain praseodymium and various combinations of magnesium, aluminum, chromium, vanadium, molybdenum, and niobium are prepared. The catalytic properties of the prepared catalysts in ethane, propane, and butane ODH reactions are studied. Into some of our studied multicomponent catalysts, the incorporation of praseodymium enhances the reaction selectivity and increases yields of desired products.
