Mixed metal oxide catalysts having an amorphous content of not less than 40 wt. % are prepared by calcining the catalyst precursor fully or partially enclosed by a porous material having a melting temperature greater than 600° C. in an inert container including heating the catalyst precursor at a rate from 0.5 to 10° C. per minute from room temperature to a temperature from 370° C. to 540° C. under a stream of pre heated gas chosen from steam and inert gas and mixtures thereof at a pressure of greater than or equal to 1 psig having a temperature from 300° C. to 540° C. and holding the catalyst precursor at that temperature for at least 2 hours and cooling the catalyst precursor to room temperature.

Calcination process to produce enhanced ODH catalyst

A process, a system, and an apparatus are provided for converting a lower alkane to an alkene. Oxygen and a lower alkane are provided to an ODH reactor. At least a portion of the lower alkane is converted to an alkene and an ODH stream comprising the alkene, an oxygenate, water, and carbon monoxide is produced. The ODH stream is provided to a water gas shift/hydrogenation (WGS/H) reactor including a WGS/H catalyst. The ODH stream is reacted within the WGS/H reactor and hydrogen and carbon dioxide are generated from the carbon monoxide and water. At least a portion of the oxygenate and hydrogen are converted to an alcohol. Additionally, the alcohol may be dehydrated to form additional alkene and water.

Process, a system, and an apparatus for catalytic conversion of an oxidative dehydrogenation product to an alcohol

Oxidative dehydrogenation catalysts for converting lower paraffins to alkenes such as ethane to ethylene when prepared as an agglomeration, for example extruded with supports comprising slurries of NbO.

Agglomerated ODH catalyst

Mixed metal oxide catalysts having an amorphous content of not less than 40 wt. % are prepared by calcining the catalyst precursor fully or partially enclosed by a porous material having a melting temperature greater than 600&#xb0; C. in an inert container including heating the catalyst precursor at a rate from 0.5 to 10&#xb0; C. per minute from room temperature to a temperature from 370&#xb0; C. to 540&#xb0; C. under a stream of pre heated gas chosen from steam and inert gas and mixtures thereof at a pressure of greater than or equal to 1 psig having a temperature from 300&#xb0; C. to 540&#xb0; C. and holding the catalyst precursor at that temperature for at least 2 hours and cooling the catalyst precursor to room temperature.

Oxidative dehydrogenation catalysts for converting lower paraffins to alkenes such as ethane to ethylene when prepared as an agglomeration, for example extruded with supports chosen from slurries of TiO, ZrOAlO, AlO(OH) and mixtures thereof have a lower temperature at which 25% conversion is obtained.
