Oxidative Dehydrogenation of n-Octane Using Vanadium Pentoxide Supported Strontium Hydroxyapatite Catalysts

Olefins are important intermediates in a large number of industrial processes.The ODH of alkanes is highly desirable due to its potentially low environmental impact and the relatively low cost of raw materials. The addition of O₂ to the reaction mixture allows for ODH and over appropriate catalysts can produce oxygenated compounds.
