Abstract: Oxygen activity oscillations were observed by a solid state electrolyte potentiometry method on a Mg2V2O7 catalyst at 500 oC in oxidative dehydrogenation of propane. When the catalyst was exposed to different atmospheres, the periods of oscillations were the same, 2.4 s. The adsorption and activation of propane needed 2.4 s, and the reduction and oxidization processes only spent the remanent 0.4 s.

Key words: propane, propene, vanadium and magnesium oxide catalyst, oxygen activity, solid electrolyte potentiometry
