Investigation on High Efficient Catalysts for the Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Ethane

Since the pioneer work of Thorsteinson fot me ox（?） ethane, a series of V-Mo based catalysts mainly for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane have been patented. On the surfaces of these catalysts, a C;H;selectivity of 70％ was achieved, but the space velocity was only about 340 h;. Lunsford, et al. reported a C;H;conversion of 75％ and a C;H;selectivity of 76％ over the
