The present invention relates to a catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation and a method of preparing the same. More particularly, the present invention provides a catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation allowing oxidative dehydrogenation reactivity to be secured while increasing a first pass yield, and a method of preparing the catalyst.

A layered-structure, multifunctional monolith catalyst is provided. The multifunctional monolith catalyst includes a monolithic substrate. A first layer is coated on a surface of the substrate. The first layer includes a first catalyst. A second layer is formed on top of the first layer. The second layer includes a second catalyst, and the second layer is porous. Layering of the first and second catalysts reduces degradation of one or both of the first and second catalysts, and increases a yield of the reaction catalyzed by the second catalyst. A method of converting carbon dioxide to dimethyl ether using the multifunctional monolith catalyst is also provided.

Provided is a catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation, a method of preparing the catalyst, and a method of performing oxidative dehydrogenation using the catalyst. The catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation has improved durability and fillability by including a porous support coated with a metal oxide (AB.sub.2O.sub.4) according to Equation 1 of the present invention, wherein the metal oxide exhibits activity during oxidative dehydrogenation. Therefore, when the catalyst is used in oxidative dehydrogenation of butene, the conversion rate of butene and the selectivity and yield of butadiene may be greatly improved.

A method of preparing a catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation that includes coprecipitation and injecting inert gas or air at a specific time point to reduce the ratio of an inactive -Fe.sub.2O.sub.3 crystal structure, thereby improving the activity of the catalyst. Also provided is a method of performing oxidative dehydrogenation using the catalyst. When oxidative dehydrogenation of butene is performed using the catalyst, side reaction may be reduced, and selectivity for butadiene may be improved, providing butadiene with high productivity.

The invention relates to a thermally-integrated method for producing butadiene from butanol that comprises at least the following steps: a) Dehydration of butanol, fed by a dehydration feed that is formed from at least said n-butanol feedstock that is diluted with at least a portion of the purified water effluent that is obtained from step c), leading to a butene effluent in at least one reactor, in the presence of a catalyst that comprises an alumina, b) Oxidizing dehydrogenation of said butene effluent, diluted with at least a portion of the purified water effluent that is obtained from step c), into butadiene, with said butene effluent not having undergone any treatment following the dehydration step a), c) Separation of the effluent that is obtained from step b) into at least one butadiene effluent and one purified water effluent.

A monolithic catalyst used for a carbon dioxide hydrogenation reaction and a method for preparing the same. The catalyst comprises a carrier, a coating, and active components. The carrier is a honeycomb ceramic. The coating and the active components are separately applied to honeycomb ceramic hole walls from inside to outside. Moreover, each of the honeycomb ceramic holes is divided into an upper segment and a lower segment, and different active components are separately loaded on the two segments. The method for preparing the monolithic catalyst comprises first applying a coating to a honeycomb ceramic by means of impregnation to obtain a coating-containing carrier, and then applying active components to an upper segment and a lower segment of the coating-containing carrier successively by means of impregnation to obtain the monolithic catalyst.

A method for producing butadiene, the method including: a first synthesis step of bringing a mixed gas containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide into contact with a first catalyst to obtain a primary product containing ethanol as an intermediate; and a second synthesis step of bringing the primary product into contact with a second catalyst to obtain butadiene.

Methods of simultaneously converting butanes and methanol to olefins over Ti-containing zeolite catalysts are described. The exothermicity of the alcohols to olefins reaction is matched by endothermicity of dehydrogenation reaction of butane(s) to light olefins resulting in a thermo-neutral process. The Ti-containing zeolites provide excellent selectivity to light olefins as well as exceptionally high hydrothermal stability. The coupled reaction may advantageously be conducted in a staged reactor with methanol/DME conversion zones alternating with zones for butane(s) dehydrogenation. The resulting light olefins can then be reacted with iso-butane to produce high-octane alkylate. The net result is a highly efficient and low cost method for converting methanol and butanes to alkylate.

This invention is directed to novel mixed transition metal iron (II/III) catalysts for the extraction of oxygen from CO.sub.2 and the selective reaction with organic compounds.
