Abstract
A catalyst for the oxidative dehydrogenation of methane and/or ethane including manganese in the form of an oxide, mixed oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, oxycarbonate and/or a salt, and in embodiments further including tungsten, one or more alkali metals in the form of an oxide, mixed oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, oxycarbonate and/or a salt, and optionally a rare earth metal oxide, which when used for the oxidative dehydrogenation of the lower hydrocarbon at a pressure ≥5 atm, and employing GHSV≥1,000 h, has: a conversion of ≥10% into at least one higher hydrocarbon, and a selectivity for Cand/or Cof ≥40%, for ≥15 days. Further, a catalytic process for the oxidative dehydrogenation of methane and/or ethane, the process occurring in the presence of such a catalyst, operating at such pressures, temperatures, and GHSV, producing such conversion and selectivity for ≥15 days, thereby resulting in yields ≥20%.
