Characterization of Industrial Pt-Sn/Al2O3 Catalyst and Transient Product Formations during Propane Dehydrogenation

DFT study of propane dehydrogenation on Pt catalyst: effects of step sites.

Self-consistent periodic slab calculations based on gradient-corrected density functional theory (DFT-GGA) have been conducted to examine the reaction network of propane dehydrogenation over close-packed Pt(111) and stepped Pt(211) surfaces. Selective C-H or C-C bond cleaving is investigated to gain a better understanding of the catalyst site requirements for propane dehydrogenation. The energy...

Propane Dehydrogenation with Better Stability by a Modified Pt-Based Catalyst

The effect of transition metal doping on Pt/Al2O3 catalyst used in propane dehydrogenation reaction at 500 ̊C was studied. The preparation methods investigated were sequential impregnation (Pt followed by the 2 metal or the 2 metal followed by Pt) and co-impregnation. The metal contents of these catalysts were fixed as the weight ratio of Pt per the 2 metal of around 0.075. These catalysts were ...

Effect of Addition of Different Promoters on the Performance of Pt-Sn-K/Al2O3 Catalyst in the Propane Dehydrogenation

Dehydrogenation of Propane to Propylene Over Pt-Sn/Al2O3 Catalysts: The influence of operating conditions on product selectivity

Ordered mesoporous carbon catalyst for dehydrogenation of propane to propylene.

Metal-free ordered mesoporous carbons were demonstrated to be robust catalysts for direct dehydrogenation of propane to propylene, in the absence of any auxiliary steam, exhibiting high activity and selectivity, as well as long catalytic stability, in comparison with nanostructured carbons.
