Catalysts for the hydrogenolysis of butane are described. A supported catalyst for hydrogenolysis of butane to ethane can include a support and a catalytic crystalline bimetallic composition that can include a molybdenum-iridium (Mo—Ir) crystalline composition attached to the support. The supported catalyst has a BET specific surface area of at least 100 m/g, preferably 100 m/g to 500 m/g. Method of use and methods of making the catalyst are also described.

Supported catalyst for butane hydrogenolyis, method of producing the supported catalyst and method to produce ethane

A hydrogenolysis bimetallic supported catalyst comprising a first metal, a second metal, and a zeolitic support; wherein the first metal and the second metal are different; and wherein the first metal and the second metal can each independently be selected from the group consisting of iridium (Ir), platinum (Pt), rhodium (Rh), ruthenium (Ru), palladium (Pd), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co).

Bimetallic catalysts supported on zeolites for selective conversion of n-butane to ethane

A catalyst includes a zeolite, wherein the zeolite has: a CHA framework; a particle size less than or equal to 100 nanometers; and a silica to alumina mole ratio in the range of about 50:1 to about 150:1. The catalyst can include a metal dopant. The catalyst can be used for purifying a product by flowing a reactant across the catalyst to form the product; and condensing or separating the product. The product can be an olefin or alkenes with an increased carbon chain. The catalyst can be used for selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxide or a gas to liquid reaction. A method of producing the catalyst can include selecting the concentration of a crystal growth inhibitor based on the ratio of the silica precursor and an alumina precursor such that the zeolite crystals have a mean particle size less than or equal to 100 nanometers.
