The chemical looping-oxidative dehydrogenation (CL-ODH) of ethane is investigated in this study. In CL-ODH, a redox catalyst donates its lattice oxygen to combust hydrogen formed from ethane dehydrogenation (ODH reactor). The reduced redox catalyst is then transferred to a separate reactor (regenerator), where it is re-oxidized with air. Typically, the ODH step is endothermic, due to the high endothermicity to reduce the redox catalyst. This energy demand is met through sensible heat carried by the redox catalyst from the regenerator, which operates at a higher temperature. This temperature difference between the two reactors leads to exergy losses. We report an Fe-Mn redox catalyst showing tunable exothermic heat of reduction. Promotion with Na₂WO₄ resulted in high ethylene yields due to the suppression of surface Fe/Mn. ASPEN Plus® simulations indicated that Fe-Mn redox catalysts can lower the temperature difference between the two reactors. This can lead to efficiency improvements for CL-ODH.
