Activities of Copper Chromite Catalysts for Dehydrogenation of Ethanol

Applications and Preparation Methods of Copper Chromite Catalysts: A Review

In this review article various applications and preparation methods of copper chromite catalysts have been discussed. While discussing it is concluded that copper chromite is a versatile catalyst which not only catalyses numerous processes of commercial importance and national program related to defence and space research but also finds applications in the most concerned problem worldwide i.e. ...

Novel and Effective Copper–Aluminum Propane Dehydrogenation Catalysts

The importance of solid catalysts for converting petroand bulk chemicals is reflected in the sheer magnitude of their market size: catalysts sales topped nine billion dollars in 2009. This large value mirrors also the increasing academic interest in heterogeneous catalysis research. As far as bulk chemicals (such as ethene, propene, and their derivatives) are concerned, there is a strong demand...

Deuteration of Methyl Linoleate with Nickel, Palladium, Platinum and Copper-Chromite Catalysts

Samples taken during deuteration of methyl linoleate with the title catalysts were separated into saturate, monoene and diene fractions. Monoenes were further separated into cis and trans fractions. A comparison of the double bond distribution in monoenes with those from hydrogenation of alkaliconjugated !inoleate indicated that up to 59% of the !inoleate was reduced through a conjugated interm...

Dehydrogenation by Heterogeneous Catalysts

Catalytic dehydrogenation of isopentane with iridium catalysts.

The catalytic activation of alkanes under mild conditions to give the corresponding alkenes and hydrogen has tremendous industrial implications because olefins are the most important starting materials for large-scale industrial processes such as olefin polymerization, dimerization, oligomerization, hydroformylation, and metathesis. In the search for a process by which olefins can be produced f...
