Title: Microchannel apparatus and methods of conducting catalyzed oxidative dehydrogenation

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1025531

Methods of oxidative dehydrogenation are described. Surprisingly, Pd and Au alloys of Pt have been discovered to be superior for oxidative dehydrogenation in microchannels. Methods of forming these catalysts via an electroless plating methodology are also described. An apparatus design that minimizes heat transfer to the apparatus' exterior is also described.
