Catalytic Dehydrogenation of Propane over Au(I)exchanged ZSM-5: Density Functional TheoryCalculations

摘要

Currently, the demand of alkenes has increased because they are important starting materials for chemical industrial procedures, especially propene'. Generally, propene could be obtained by dehydrogenation of propane. However, the conventional steam cracking process has the problem of a high energy-consuming process that also produces CO2 and deactivation of the catalyst by coke production. Therefore, the research for alternative ways for the production of propene becomes imperative.
