Abstract

The main challenge for selective oxidation catalysis has always been achieving an economically viable selectivity. In this chapter, the advances made around the last decade in catalyst development for the selective oxidation of C2-C4 alkanes to carboxylic acids and olefins are discussed. To assess the progress made and to study the trends, particular attention has been given to the results reported in patents. A review of the developments reported in the research literature and new knowledge about the catalysts and their functioning have also been summarized. A comparison with existing processes is provided to obtain an idea of which selective oxidation routes are approaching closer to commercial implementation. Finally, some of the challenges that the selective oxidation routes must overcome for widespread commercial adoption are discussed and suggestions for future research are provided.
