Abstrakt: This paper focuses attention on the grafting of alumina onto SBA-15 material and the subsequent impregnation of vanadium oxide species (VOx). The role of alumina loading on the distribution of VOxspecies was studied in V–Al2O3–SBA-15 catalysts and its activity/selectivity in oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane. The activity of V–Al2O3–SBA-15 materials are correlated with the textural properties (N2-adsorption/desorption isotherms), the distribution of VOxspecies (H2-TPR and DR UV–vis) and the acidic properties (NH3-TPD). While V–SBA-15 mainly contains monomeric tetrahedrally coordinated VOxspecies, grafting of alumina on SBA-15 catalysts result in decreasing population of isolated monomeric VOxunits in V–Al2O3–SBA-15 catalysts, increasing population of Tdoligomeric VOxspecies and the formation of a low amount of octahedrally coordinated VOxspecies. V–Al2O3–SBA-15 catalysts are more selective to ethane (at the same conversion of ethane) compared to V–SBA-15 and V-alumina catalysts.
