OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION (ODH)
Niar Kurnia et al. Effect of Calcination at Synthesis of Mg-Al Hydrotalcite Using co-Precipitation
Method. The Journal of Pure and Applied Chemistry Research, [S.l.], v. 6, n. 1, p. 7-13, jan. 2017.
ISSN 2541-0733.
PREPARATION: CATALYST
• Sequential Impregnation:
InNO3 impregnated onto hydrotalcite
drying at 50 °C for 3h
drying at 120 °C for 2h
calcination at 550 °C for 4h
H2PtCl6 solution also impregnated
same procedure is repeated
LAB TESTING
• GC for product analysis
• However:
• hard to prepare high concentration catalyst
• Hard to obtain even dispersion of catalyst components on the surface
CO-PRECIPITATION
• Advantages:
• Homogeneity of component distribution
• Relatively low reaction temperature
• Fine and uniform particle size with weakly agglomerated particles
• low cost
• Disadvantages:
• Not a controlled process in terms of reaction kinetics
• Synthesized solids have uncontrolled particle morphology with agglomeration and incomplete
precipitation of the metal ions

OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION
(ODH)
• Drawbacks of direct PDH:
• Equilibrium limitations
• necessitating high energy input as the reaction is endothermic
• coke formation that facilitates catalyst deactivation
• The oxidation occurred with oxygen leads to no coking
-
OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION
(ODH)
• Resulted hydrogen from the reaction is consumed by oxygen which makes the reaction:
• not limited by equilibrium
• high reaction rate and conversion levels can be achieved especially at high temperature and low
pressures
• The purpose of using mild/soft oxidants (CO2, N2O, SO2 and S2 gas):
• resolve the problem of deep oxidation and heat removal associated with oxygen
OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION
(ODH) – CO2
• Still endothermic
• However, some catalyst systems were negatively affected by this coupled effect without
clear explanation provided in the literature.
OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION (ODH) – CO2
• For this reaction to occur, the catalyst should have the affinity to adsorb CO2 and activate C-
H bond instead of C-C to avoid side reactions such as dry reforming.
