Oxidation capability of carbon dioxide in the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene over vanadium oxide-loaded MgO catalyst
Carbon dioxide could oxidize the reduced vanadium oxide species on MgO and keep vanadium species at a high oxidation state, during the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene under carbon dioxide, giving a markedly high yield and selectivity of styrene.
