RT Journal Article T1 Kinetic study of propane ODH on electrospun vanadium oxide-based submicron diameter fiber catalyst A1 Ternero-Hidalgo, Juan José A1 Ruiz-Rosas, Ramiro Rafael A1 Rosas-Martínez, Juana María A1 Guerrero-Pérez, María Olga A1 Rodríguez-Mirasol, José A1 Cordero-Alcántara, Tomás K1 Catálisis AB A rigorous kinetic study of the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) reaction of propane on a vanadium oxide-basedsubmicron diameter fiber catalyst has been developed. The proposed kinetic model simulates the conversion-selectivity profiles, the surface coverage of the different adsorbed species and the oxidation state of the cata-lyst for the studied operating conditions of temperature, space–time and inlet partial pressures of propane andoxygen. The activation energy of the rate determining step (RDS), the first hydrogen abstraction from propane, is104 kJ⋅mol 1. The model predicts that although the reaction seems to be pseudo-zero order with respect tooxygen in a broad range of conditions, the catalyst may not be fully oxidized during reaction. The accuracy of themodel when predicting the oxidation state of the catalyst has been experimentally confirmed by analyzing thecatalytic fixed bed after reaction. The reduction degree of the catalyst will depend on its intrinsic chemical natureand reaction conditions, increasing with the space–time and in detriment of the overall reaction rate. Conse-quently, the propane turnover frequency (TOF) will also depend on the reaction conditions and space–time, evenchanging along the fixed-bed reactor.
