Oxidative dehydrogenation of cyclohexane over modified zeolite catalysts

Resumo

The catalytic activity of modified zeolites in selective oxidative dehydrogenation of cyclohexane has been studied. It has been established that polymetallic zeolite catalyst, namely, CuZnCoCr-clinoptilolite (0.5% Cu²⁺, 0.2% Zn²⁺; 0.1% Co²⁺; 0.1% Cr³⁺) manifests the highest activity in the reaction under consideration. The kinetic scheme of the reaction mechanism has been proposed, and a kinetic model of the process has been developed on the basis of stepwise mechanism schemes. The numerical values of the kinetic parameters are calculated.
