A catalyst material for oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) comprising molybdenum, vanadium, oxygen, and an element chosen from iron, aluminum, and beryllium is provided. The product stream from an ODH reactor (202) is directed to a quench tower (204) to remove a waste stream comprising oxygenates. A flooded gas mixer is used to premix oxygen-containing gas, alkane-containing gas and heat- removal gases prior to introduction into the ODH reactor. |
