Catalytic Dehydrogenation of Ethane over Au(I) exchanged ZSM-5: A DFT Study

摘要

The dehydrogenation of light paraffins or light alkanes into the corresponding alkenes is a very important process as there is a high demand for such olefins and alkenes. The consumption of ethene has dramatically increased due to its importance as a starting material for many processes in chemical industries.1 Ethene is widely used for the production of many important polymers like polyethylene as well as for alcohols such as ethanol.
