New catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane to propylene This company’s Insights platform is connected to the new temperature… By Scott Jenkins | May 1, 2021 Conventional propane dehydrogenation (PDH) is an endothermic, equilibrium-limited reaction that requires high temperatures to achieve commercially viable per-pass yields of propylene. Oxidative propane dehydrogenation has the potential to form propylene at much lower temperatures and more selectively by controlling the reaction kinetically, rather than thermodynamically. However, it has proven difficult to prevent large am...
