Abstract

Oxidative transformations of the ethane–ethylene fraction of oil refinery gases, containing 20 vol % C2H4, on VMoTeNb oxide catalyst in the temperature interval 330–450°C were studied. Comparison with oxidative transformations of the individual components (oxidative dehydrogenation of C2H6 and oxidation of C2H4) shows that ethylene does not noticeably influence the ethane conversion, whereas ethane strongly suppresses the ethylene conversion. The maximal yield of ethylene from the ethane–ethylene fraction is close to that reached in oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane under similar conditions and amounts to 70–72%.
