The present disclosure provides a method for the oxidative dehydrogenation of an alkane, e.g., ethane, propane, etc. In embodiments, a method for oxidative dehydrogenation of an alkane comprises exposing a gas comprising an alkane having 2 or more carbons to elemental sulfur vapor at an elevated reaction temperature and for a period of time to convert the alkane to one or more products via oxidative dehydrogenation, the one or more products comprising a primary alkene.

A method for improving peroxidase-like activity of nanozyme and a product thereof are disclosed, which relate to the field of artificial enzymes in biochemistry. The method adopts a hydrogen peroxide solution with high concentration to treat the VO.sub.2(B) powder for obtaining a product with high peroxidase-like activity. Compared with the pure VO.sub.2(B) powder, the peroxidase-like activity of the product obtained by the method is increased by 4 to 12 times. The method provided by the present invention adopts raw materials with low cost and mild reaction conditions, is simple in operation and low in cost, which is conducive to batch preparation. The powder product obtained by the method is able to be applied to detect hydrogen peroxide, glucose, etc., and has great application prospects in biosensing, industrial wastewater treatment and sewage treatment.

Proposed are a low-temperature DeNOx catalyst for selective catalytic reduction having improved sulfur resistance and a method of manufacturing the same. The low-temperature DeNOx catalyst for selective catalytic reduction having improved sulfur resistance accelerates the reduction reaction of nitrogen oxides even at low temperatures despite the small amount of vanadium supported, improves sulfur poisoning resistance, does not cause secondary environmental pollution by treated gas, has excellent abrasion resistance and strength and thus the removal efficiency of nitrogen oxides is not reduced even during long-term operation, and is easy to manufacture, thus contributing to commercialization.

The invention relates to a shaped catalyst body in the form of a tetralobe having four circular through-passages, with the midpoints of the through-passages forming a square and the spacings between in each case two adjacent through-passages being from 0.8 to 1.2 times the thickness of the outer walls of the through-passages. The shaped catalyst body is used for the oxidation of S02 to S03.
