Oxidehyrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene on P-O-Ni-Mn/Alumina catalysts

摘要

The oxidehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene on a P-O-Ni-Mn/Al_2O_3 catalyst was studied. Kinetic analysis of reaction data was performed by complementing parameter estimation and model discrimination techniques with experimental design strategies. Both the principal oxidehydrogenation reaction and the side reaction of complete oxidation of styrene follow kinetics of the Langmuir - Hinshelwood - Hougen - Watson (L-H-H-W) type. The selected model shows acceptable goodness of fit.
