This monomer is involved in several polymer syntheses, and is industrially produced by the direct dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene at 873953 K over a potassium promoted iron oxide catalyst [1]. This strongly endothermic process suffers from drawbacks such as thermodynamic limitations, a large amount of wasted energy, an irreversible catalyst deactivation and coke deposition [2]. Among the alternative technologies developed, the exothermic and non-thermodynamically-limited oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of ethylbenzene is promising. Carbon is reported to be catalytically active for the reaction [3] and [4]. It has been shown that high performances could be obtained over onion-like carbons and carbon nanotubes [5], [6], [7] and [8], such non-planar sp2-nanocarbons being very active and promising alternative catalysts to the industrial catalyst, with a higher styrene yield and a lower reaction temperature. The nanocarbons also remained more stable against combustion in an oxidative atmosphere than active carbon [7] and [8]. A redox mechanism at the carbon surface has been put forward [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] and [9], involving the oxygen activation on metallic basal planes and the ethylbenzene dehydrogenation on nucleophilic Bronsted basic C=O groups at the edge/kink sites [6] and [7]. %8 Apr. %N 4 %T Supported carbon nanofibers for the fixed-bed synthesis of styrene %@nexthigherunit 8JMKD3MGPCW/3ET38CH %K Catalyst, Carbon composites, Carbon fibers, Catalytic properties. %@secondarytype PRE PI %@archivingpolicy denypublisher denyfinaldraft24 %@usergroup administrator %@usergroup simone %@group %@group LCP-INPE-MCT-BR %@copyholder SID/SCD %@secondarykey INPE-14048--PRE/9222 %F self-archiving-INPE-MCTIC-GOV-BR %@issn 0008-6223 %2 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m17@80/2006/08.10.13.44.51 %@affiliation Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Gesellschaft, Department of Inorganic Chemistry %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais, Laboratório de Combustão e Propulsão (INPE.LCP) %@affiliation Laboratoire des Matériaux, Surface et Procédés pour la Catalyse, Louis Pasteur University %@affiliation Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Gesellschaft, Department of Inorganic Chemistry %@affiliation Laboratoire des Matériaux, Surface et Procédés pour la Catalyse, Louis Pasteur University %@affiliation Laboratoire des Matériaux, Surface et Procédés pour la Catalyse, Louis Pasteur University %@affiliation Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Gesellschaft, Department of Inorganic Chemistry %B Carbon %@versiontype publisher %P 809-812 %4 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m17@80/2006/08.10.13.44 %@documentstage not transferred %D 2006 %V 44 %A Delgado, Juan J., %A Vieira, Ricardo, %A Rebmann, Guillaume, %A Su, Dang Sheng, %A Keller, Nicolas, %A Ledoux, Marc J., %A Schlögl, Robert, %@dissemination WEBSCI; PORTALCAPES. %@area COMB
