ZEA, HUGO; FIGUEIREDO, JOSE L.  and  CARBALLO, LUIS. PROMOTING EFFECT OF Mo ON Pd / g-Al₂O₃ SUPPORTED CATALYSTS IN THE OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION OF PROPANE. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2011, vol.78, n.170, pp.159-166. ISSN 0012-7353.

Bimetallic catalysts of Pd-Mo supported on g-Al₂O₃ were prepared to study the interaction of Pd-Mo in terms of their structural properties and their catalytic activity for the reaction of oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP). The catalysts contain distributions of Pd-Mo loads between 0 and 5 wt %, and were characterized by total surface area (TSA), total pore volume (TPV), active surface area (ASA), XRD, and TEM-EDS. The results indicate that the addition of Mo to catalysts of Pd/g-Al₂O₃ modifies its catalytic activity for the ODHP reaction. The influence of the load relationship Pd-Mo in the catalytic activity was determined. Monometallic catalysts were prepared for purposes of comparison.

Keywords : Bimetallic Pd-Mo catalyst; propane reactions; oxidative dehydrogenation.
