Herein, a series of highly porous and well-structured mesoporous materials are presented as supports for chromium catalysts for the mild oxidative dehydrogenation of propane using CO2 as the oxidizing agent. The materials MCM-41, SBA-1, and SBA-15 were proposed as supports for the preparation of Cr-...

Sumario:Herein, a series of highly porous and well-structured mesoporous materials are presented as supports for chromium catalysts for the mild oxidative dehydrogenation of propane using CO2 as the oxidizing agent. The materials MCM-41, SBA-1, and SBA-15 were proposed as supports for the preparation of Cr-based catalysts with a Cr content of 6 wt%. These results highlight that mesostructured supports influence chromium species’ dispersion and electronic state in the catalysts. Among the catalysts tested, the Cr/SBA-1 catalyst demonstrated superior propane conversion and propylene selectivity. The results suggest that the Cr6+ species fraction significantly influences the conversion and selectivity during oxidative dehydrogenation of propane by CO2. As the Cr6+ species fraction increases, a linear increase in conversion was observed for both propane and CO2. Furthermore, an increase in the Cr6+ species fraction leads to an increased selectivity towards propylene formation while it reduces the selectivity for CO and cracking products. This indicates that Cr6+ species favor olefin formation over undesired by-products. © The Author(s) 2025.
