Topics in Catalysis Aims and scope Submit manuscript

The microkinetic reaction network of the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethene over Li/Dy/Mg/O and Li/Dy/Mg/O/Cl catalysts was investigated. With Li/Dy/Mg/O catalysts, the reaction kinetics is compatible with a heterogeneous-homogeneous radical based reaction mechanism. The formation of ethyl radicals on the surface is concluded to be the rate-determining step. In contrast, the reaction kinetics for Li/Dy/Mg/O/Cl is in line with a purely surface catalyzed reaction mechanism. However, also in this case, alkane activation is rate determining.
