Abstract

Abstract Organic compounds are dehydrogenated to compounds having a higher degree of unsaturation by contacting the feedstock in the vapor phase in the presence of an oxygen-containing gas with a catalyst comprising cobalt, phosphorus, oxygen and, optionally, bismuth. Representative of such conversions is the oxidative dehydrogenation of butane to butadiene and isopentane to isoprene in the presence of catalyst comprising bismuth-cobalt-phosphorusoxygen and cobalt-phosphorus-oxygen, respectively. The conversion products are valuable compounds particularly useful as intermediates for the preparation of polymeric materials such as synthetic rubbers and the like.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 126 words
A PROCESS FOR THE DEHYDROGENATION OF DEHYDROGENATABLE PARAFFINIC FEEDSTOCKS HAVING FROM 3 TO 12 CARBON ATOMS TO THE CORRESPONDING DIOLEFIN AND/OR MONO-OLEFIN WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING SAID FEEDSTOCK IN THE VAPOR PHASE IN THE PRESENCE OF MOLECULAR OXYGEN AND IN THE ABSENCE OF HALOGEN UNDER DEHYDROGENATION CONDITIONS WITH A CATALYST CONSISTING OF BISMUTH, COBALT AND PHOSPHORUS IN ASSOCIATION WITH OXYGEN, WHEREIN THE PROPORTIONS OF BISMUTH, COBALT AND PHOSPHORUS CORRESPOND TO THE EXPRESSIONBIZCOYPZ, IN WHICH EXPRESSION THE VALUE OF X IS IN THE RANGE OF 0 TO 10, THE VALUE OF Y IS IN T RANGE OF 0.1 TO 10 AND THE VALUE OF Z IS IN THE RANGE OF 0.1 TO 5 AND WHEREIN THE FEEDSTOCK:OXYGEN RATIO IS IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 1:1 TO ABOUT 1:4.
