    Abstract

    In this study, it is proposed the incorporation of MgO into of SBA-15 via the direct synthesis different atomic ratios of Si/Mg (20, 40 and 80). Although the incorporation of Mg did not affect the mesoporous character of SBA-based materials, it was found dramatic changes in the SBA-15 characteristic honeycomb structure even after the incorporation of small amount of Mg. The creation of more basic sites in SBA-15, because of the addition of Mg, improved ODH conversion of n-octane with respect to SBA-15, used as reference. Sample with a Si/Mg molar ratio of 20 showed the best catalytic performance in the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-octane, while the sample with a Si/Mg molar ratio of 40 achieve the highest productions of olefins.
