Abstract

Hydrocarbons are oxidatively dehydrogenated in the presence of a catalyst comprising a mixture of oxides of manganese, phosphorus, and an alkali metal, optionally, supported on a refractory oxide. In one embodiment, ethane is converted to ethylene in the presence of a catalyst comprising a mixture of oxides of manganese, phosphorus, and sodium supported on alumina.
