- Abstract
- Kinetics of oxidative dehydrogenation of isobutane to isobutylene over chromium oxide supported on lanthanum carbonate was studied. The formation rate of isobutylene was found to be first order in isobutane and zero order in oxygen concentration and the rate limiting step was the regeneration of active sites by the gas phase oxygen. The formation of CO2 was due to the consecutive oxidation of isobutylene which occurred on the same active sites used for isobutylene formation, not by the parallel oxidation of isobutane.
