Abstract

It has been found that niobium pentoxide, calcined at temperatures between 500 and 700°C, exhibits a high selectivity for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane, although conversion is low; increasing the partial pressure of oxygen increases the conversion without decreasing the selectivity.
