Boron-containing materials are efficient catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane to propylene, proceeding via radical intermediates. The radical mechanism is initiated by the solid surface and propagated in the gas phase. It has been hypothesized that the propylene selectivity could be increased by enhancing the gas-phase contributions by favoring the formation of iso- over n-propyl radical intermediates. Indeed, whereas n-propyl radicals can be converted to both propylene and ethylene, iso-propyl radicals yield exclusively propylene. In this contribution, we explore 3D printing to structure the hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) heterogeneous catalyst with high void space. 3D-printed hBN monoliths were found …

In this study, dual-function materials (DFMs) comprised of CaO and Cr/H-ZSM-5 were formulated in 3D-printed monolithic structures and investigated in a combined process for capture and utilization of CO2 in oxidative dehydrogenation of C2H6 to C2H4 (CO2-ODHE). Various formulation strategies were employed to fabricate these DFM structures. Two bed designs were considered: i) a layered-bed in which adsorbent (CaO) and catalyst were printed separately and stacked on top of each other, and ii) a single-layer bed where the adsorbent-catalyst materials were 3D-printed into a singular monolith and loaded into the bed …

Developing routes of utilizing CO2 emissions is important for long-term environmental preservation, as storing such emissions underground will eventually become unsustainable. One way of utilizing CO2 emissions is as a light-oxidant feedstock for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP) to propylene. However, the adsorption and reaction steps typically occur at widely different temperatures, meaning that the thermal gradients – and by extension process energy requirements – are often unreasonably high. In recent years, dual-functional materials (DFMs) – i.e., materials comprised of a high temperature adsorbent phase alongside a heterogeneous catalyst – have been employed for combined CO2 adsorption …
