Abstract

As essential feedstocks in the chemical industry

the demand for light olefins is steadily increasing. Cracking of alkanes is one of the main routes to obtain light olefins. The reaction mechanisms (carbocation and free radical mechanisms) involved in the catalytic cracking of alkanes to light olefins were summarized. The research progress of catalysts (molecular sieves

metal oxides

and bifunctional catalysts) utilized for the reaction were analyzed. Furthermore

future directions for the development and optimization of catalysts for alkane catalytic cracking to light olefins were prospected.
