Abstract
The role of chromium as a promoter of butadiene selectivity in n-butane oxidative dehydrogenation on ZnCrxFe2-xO4 (0<x<1.09) catalysts was studied. Catalysts have a spinel structure with Cr3+ replacing Fe3+ in octahedral sites. Mössbauer spectroscopy studies showed that the substitution of iron by chromium modifies the electron density of the iron nuclei in the ZnFe2O4 structure. Iron nuclei showed the lowest electron density for x=0.5–0.6, hence the electron density of oxygen in FeO bond has to be enhanced. n-Butane oxidative dehydrogenation also showed a maximum in butadiene selectivity at x=0.5–0.6. These results suggest that chromium increases butadiene and CO2 selectivities, with simultaneous decrease of butenes and cracking products explained by an enhancement of the lattice oxygen basicity, which promotes the acid-base type dissociation of the CH bond during butene activation.
