Catalytic Dehydrogenation of Ethane over Mn Oxide Supported on Zeolite Chabazite

Abstract
A new class of Mn-containing zeolites prepared by incipient wetness impregnation (IWI) have been found to catalyze the ethane dehydrogenation reaction with high selectivity (98%+). Preparation by IWI leads to the formation of Mn 2 O 3 nanoparticles on the external surface of the zeolite crystals and herein is shown that the primary active sites for the reaction are located on the surface of these particles. Propane dehydrogenation is also successfully catalyzed by this catalyst. Other Mn-zeolites (MFI and BEA) also have high reactivity and selectivity towards light alkane dehydrogenation.
