The selective oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over hydrothermally synthesised MoVTeNb catalysts.
Mo-V-Te-Nb metal oxide catalysts prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and heat-treated in N2 at high temperatures (600-700 degrees C) show high activity and selectivity for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethene. Yields of ethene of 75% have been obtained at 400 degrees C on the best catalysts.
