A 10% Mo/Si−Ti catalyst was tested for ethane oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) activity using either O2 or N2O as the oxidant. Ethane ODH activity was tested at contact times varying from 0.46 to 1.0 mg min/cm−3. N2O gives superior ethylene selectivities at a given ethane conversion outperforming oxygen at all contact times tested. Ethylene selectivities decrease with contact time at a far slower rate when using N2O as the oxidant. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) experiments demonstrate that molybdenum in the catalyst is fully oxidized to Mo(VI) during ethane ODH using O2, whereas the reduction state decreases to an average of +5.8 when using N2O as the oxidant. Temperature-programmed oxidation experiments of pre-reduced 10% Mo/Si−Ti were carried out at different temperature ramp rates. The activation energy of re-oxidation when using N2O is 98 kJ/mol, whereas that of O2 is 41 kJ/mol leading to a re-oxidation rate at least 1700 times faster when O2 is the oxidant. This difference in rates accounts f...
