Abstract
The oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane is a highly promising reaction for the obtaining of propene, compared to the industrial methods currently used. However, it presents a series of disadvantages that are difficult to overcome. In this work we study the synthesis, characterization and catalytic behavior of mixed Ni/Co molybdates in the ODH of propane. The molyb- dates are obtained by calcination of freeze-dried precursors at low temperatures.
