Effects of Modifying Acidity and Reducibility on the Activity of NaY Zeolite in the Oxidative Dehydrogenation of <i>n</i>-Octane

Non-coking stable alkaline earth metal (M = Mg, Sr, and Ba) modified Ga-NaY catalysts were prepared by ionic-exchange and tested in oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of <i>n</i>-octane using air as the source of oxygen. The role of the alkaline earth metals in NaY was to poison the acid si...
