National

Mission on

Clean Coal

Technologies

(CCT), Govt. of

India

The main objective of this task was to develop

highly efficient catalysts and process conditions

for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to

styrene utilizing CO2 as soft oxidant. Very

promising catalysts were developed and being

evaluated in a semi-pilot plant scale reactor. The

same technology will be extended to other

reactions such as light alkanes (ethane, propane

and butane) to alkenes utilizing CO2 as soft

oxidant.

Under this program, we at IICT lead an

independent team to design novel catalyst

formulations and their testing in both liquid

phase (batch reactor) and vapour phase (fixed-

bed) conditions. Very promising catalysts were

developed for the conversion of glycerol to value-

added products.
