Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Styrene formation in the oxidational dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene on an aluminum oxide catalyst is directly from the ethylbenzene through an earlier proposed mechanism, rather than from intermediate condensation products through a consecutive mechanism.

  2. 2.

    The condensation products imply function as catalysts for styrene formation, their activity in this reaction being higher than that of the aluminum oxide itself.

  3. 3.

    Carbon dioxide is formed through combustion of the condensation products, rather than from ethylbenzene and styrene.
