A novel catalyst material for the selective dehydrogenation of propane is presented. The catalyst consists of 1000 ppm Pt, 3 wt% Ga, and 0.25 wt% K supported on alumina. We observed a synergy between Ga and Pt, resulting in a highly active and stable catalyst. Additionally, we propose a bifunctional active phase, in which coordinately unsaturated Ga(3+) species are the active species and where ...

High-surface-area mesoporous CexZr1-xO2 materials synthesized through a surfactant-assisted approach of nanocrystalline particle assembly are utilized as promising support for VOx-based catalysts. The catalytic properties the resultant VOx/CexZr1-xO2 nanocatalysts evaluated by oxidative dehydrogenation propane using microreactor-GC system. It is indicated that catalyst particles ...

Upon reduction at 975 °C, a strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) of CeO2 on Pt NPs leads to low rates for ethylene hydrogenation and propane dehydrogenation, but high olefin selectivity the latter reaction. By contrast, 550 °C Pt/CeO2, 5 nm NP’s with dehydrogenation TORs similar Pt/SiO2. X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) shows formation ...

A kinetic model for propane dehydrogenation in an industrial moving bed reactor is developed based on the reported reaction scheme. The kinetic parameters and activity constant are fine tuned with several sets of balanced plant data. Plant data at different operating conditions is applied to validate the model and the results show a good agreement between the model predictions and plant observa...
