CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF MANGANESE NODULE FOR OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION OF ALCOHOLS AND HYDROCARBONS
Various kinds of alcohols and hydrocarbons except chain hydrocarbon are oxidatively dehydrogenated on manganese nodule catalyst. The catalytic activity shows no decrease for long reaction time in the presense of oxygen in the reactant. The surface excess oxygen on manganese nodule is strongly concerned in these reactions as active spieces.
