چکیده

The oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane represents a promising pathway for the selective production of propylene, a key intermediate in the petrochemical industry. Recent advances focus on the use of metal-based zeolite catalysts due to their high activity, selectivity, and stability. The incorporation of carbon dioxide (CO₂) as a mild oxidant offers environmental and economic advantages, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and avoiding the use of molecular oxygen, which can cause over-oxidation. This review summarizes laboratory-scale studies on various metal-based zeolite catalysts for propane ODH in the presence of CO₂, highlighting catalyst preparation methods, characterization techniques, catalytic performance, reaction mechanisms, and the role of CO₂ in reaction pathways. Challenges and future perspectives for catalyst design and process optimization are also discussed.
