The oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over NiO-loaded MgO with high surface area was carried out using a fixed-bed flow reactor at 600°C under atmospheric pressure. At 600°C, the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (C2H6/O2=1) without dilution with an inert gas resulted in C2H6conversion of 68.8% and a high C2H4selectivity of 52.8%, which corresponds to a C2H4yield of 36.3%. In addition, the catalytic activity did not decrease for at least 10h. X-ray photoelectron spectra of the catalysts after the reaction exhibited that the initial valence state of Ni2+(NiO) was maintained during the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane. However, when NiO-loaded MgO was reduced with H2prior to the reaction, C2H4selectivity decreased to nearly zero and high CO and H2selectivities were observed with the C2H6conversion of 50 %, indicating that partial oxidation of C2H6proceeded. Therefore, it seems important to keep Ni species as an oxide phase on the support, and for this purpose, use of the high surface area of MgO is essential.
