Abstract
A method is provided for producing at least one olefin by oxidative dehydrogenation of a hydrocarbon feed. The method includes the steps of contacting a hydrocarbon feed, which includes at least one alkane, and a steam feed with an oxygen transfer agent under a pressure of 1.1 bar to 800 bar to produce at least one olefin. The oxygen transfer agent contains a metal oxide that acts as an oxidizing agent to oxidize the at least one alkane. Additionally, the method includes the step of collecting a product stream containing the at least one olefin.
