The oxidative dehydrogenation of a 1-butene/trans-butene (1:1) mixture to 1,3-butadiene was carried out in a two-zone fluidized bed reactor using a Mo-V-MgO and a -Bi2MoO6 catalyst. The significant operating conditions temperature, oxygen/butene molar ratio, butene inlet height, and flow velocity were varied to gain high 1,3-butadiene selectivity and yield. Furthermore, axial concentration profiles were measured inside the fluidized bed to gain insight into the reaction network in the two zones. For optimized conditions and with a suitable catalyst, the two-zone fluidized bed reactor makes catalyst regeneration and catalytic reaction possible in a single vessel. In the lower part of the fluidized bed, the oxidation of coke deposits on the catalyst as well as the filling of oxygen vacancies in the lattice can occur. The oxidative dehydrogenation reaction takes place in the upper zone. Thorough particle mixing inside fluidized beds causes permanent particle exchange between both zones.
