    Gas-phase oxidation of alkanes

    No full text
    Interest in the transformation of light alkanes to valuable oxygenated compounds and olefins has been growing again in recent years due to the possibility of developing new processes of lower environmental impact and of lower cost, and to the large availability of hydrocarbons from shale-gas shells. Here we summarise most recent findings and perspectives of developments for the industrial gas-phase oxidation and oxidative dehydrogenation of C2-C4 alkanes to oxygenated compounds and to light olefins
